If the conveyance of the Primary Portfolio Excess Spread is characterized by a court or governmental authority as security for a loan rather than an absolute transfer or sale, the Seller will be deemed to have granted, and hereby grants, to Purchaser, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now existing or in the future arising or acquired, (i) all Primary Portfolio Excess Spread and all rights under this Agreement with respect to any Primary Portfolio Excess Spread; (ii) the Primary Portfolio Spread Custodial Account; (iii) all rights to payment of amounts due under this Agreement on account of or related to the Primary Portfolio Excess Spread; (iv) all rights to reimbursement of Primary Portfolio Excess Spreads and/or amounts due in respect thereof under the related Servicing Agreements and Guides; (v) all records, instruments or other documentation evidencing any of the foregoing; (vi) all “general intangibles”, “accounts”, “chattel paper”, “securities accounts”, “investment property”, “deposit accounts” and “money” as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code relating to or constituting any and all of the foregoing (including, without limitation, all of Seller’s rights, title and interest in and under the Primary Portfolio Excess Spreads); and (vii) any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on or proceeds of any and all of the foregoing, as security for a loan in an amount equal to the Transaction Purchase Price.

 

14

 

(b)                                 The Seller hereby authorizes the filing of any financing statements or continuation statements, and amendments to financing statements, in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the Purchaser may determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the sale of the assets conveyed and security interests granted to Purchaser and agrees to execute financing statements in form reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser and the Seller at the request of the Purchaser in order to reflect the Purchaser’s interests in the assets conveyed to or subjected to a security interest in favor of the Purchaser pursuant hereto and in the Primary Portfolio Spread Custodial Account and Secondary Portfolio Spread Custodial Account.

 

(c)                                  In connection with each Transaction involving Ginnie Mae Mortgage Loans, the Seller and the Purchaser further agree and acknowledge with respect to such Ginnie Mae Mortgage Loans as follows:

 

(i)  the Seller is entitled to the Base Servicing Fee and the Seller and the Purchaser, as applicable, are entitled to the Primary Portfolio Excess Spread only so long as the Seller maintains its status as an approved Ginnie Mae issuer and servicer;

 

(ii) upon the Seller’s loss of its status as an approved Ginnie Mae issuer and servicer, the Purchaser’s rights to any Primary Portfolio Excess Spread also terminate;

 

(iii) the pledge of the Seller’s rights to the Primary Portfolio Excess Spread conveys no right (such as a right to become a substitute issuer or servicer) that is not specifically provided for in the Ginnie Mae Guide; and

 

(iv)  to the extent the Seller has pledged or in the future pledges as collateral to a third party lender the Servicing Rights relating to any Primary Portfolio Excess Spread, the pledged collateral will include such Primary Portfolio Excess Spread and the Purchaser will enter into any such agreements and/or file any financing statements  as reasonably required by such third party lender to give effect thereto.

RECAPTURE

 

Section 4.01                             Recapture.

 

(a)                                 With respect to each Primary Portfolio, if, during any calendar month, the Seller or its Affiliates originate new residential mortgage loans the proceeds of which are used to refinance a Mortgage Loan in such Primary Portfolio (such a new mortgage loan, a “New Mortgage Loan”), the Seller shall transfer and convey to the Purchaser on the related Assignment Date the Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread and all proceeds thereof with respect to one or more of such New Mortgage Loans (subject to Section 4.01(b)) that together have an aggregate unpaid principal balance that is not less than the sum of the following amounts:

 

(i)                                     the product of (i) the aggregate amount of Payoffs (whether or not resulting from refinancings) received during such calendar month on all loans that were Primary Portfolio Mortgage Loans at the beginning of the month and (ii) the Transaction Threshold Percentage;

 

15

 

(ii)                                  the product of (i) the dollar amount of New Mortgage Loans that were originated during the calendar month, net of the amount described in clause (i) above, and (ii) 100% minus the Allowed Retention Percentage; and

 

(iii)                               either:

 

(A)                               a positive amount (and in no event less than zero) equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the cumulative unpaid principal balance of loans for which transfers were actually made under this Article 4 in all such prior months, over (ii) the cumulative unpaid principal balance of loans for which transfers were required to be made under this Article 4 in all prior months (whether or not they were actually made); or

 

(B)                               a negative amount (and in no event more than zero) equal to the excess  of (i) the cumulative unpaid principal balance of loans for which transfers were required to be made under this Article 4 in all prior months (whether or not they were actually made), over (ii) the cumulative unpaid principal balance of loans for which transfers were actually made under this Article 4 in all such prior months.

 

For purposes of this subsection, the “Allowed Retention Percentage” means, with respect to each Primary Portfolio and any month, the percentage set forth opposite the Excess Refinancing Percentage on the Confirmation; and the “Excess Refinancing Percentage” means, with respect to each Primary Portfolio and any month, the excess, if any, of (a) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is equal to the aggregate principal balance of New Mortgage Loans that were originated during such month, and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Payoffs (whether or not resulting from refinancings) received during such calendar month on all loans that were Primary Portfolio Mortgage Loans at the beginning of the month, over (b) the Transaction Threshold Percentage.

 

The New Mortgage Loans and Alternative Mortgage Loans where the Servicing Rights are so transferred and conveyed shall constitute “Replacement Mortgage Loans”; the entire group of such Replacement Mortgage Loans shall constitute the “Replacement Portfolio”; the New Mortgage Loans where the Servicing Rights are not so transferred and conveyed shall constitute “Retained Mortgage Loans”; and the entire group of such Retained Mortgage Loans shall constitute the “Retained Portfolio”.  For purposes of these definitions, if any Alternative Mortgage Loan is included in the Replacement Portfolio in lieu of a New Mortgage Loan, then such New Mortgage Loan shall be neither part of the Replacement Portfolio nor part of the Retained Portfolio (including for the purposes of the provisions set forth in Section 4.01(c)).

 

16

 

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.01(a) to the contrary, in lieu of transferring and conveying to the Purchaser on the related Assignment Date the related Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread as described herein, the Seller may, at its option, but only to the extent that the fair market value of the aggregate Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread to be transferred is less than $200,000, and shall, if the Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread otherwise required to be transferred is prohibited by the applicable Agency, wire to the Purchaser cash in an amount equal to the fair market value of the related Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread.

 

(b)                                 Each New Mortgage Loan included in the Replacement Portfolio shall satisfy the following criteria: (1) such New Mortgage Loan shall be the subject of a Servicing Agreement with a loan owner or master servicer; and (2) all consents, if any, required by the applicable loan owner to assign all or a portion of the Servicing Rights with respect to such New Mortgage Loan shall have been obtained.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if insufficient New Mortgage Loans are available that would allow satisfaction of the criteria set forth in set forth in the preceding sentence, then the Seller shall use its best efforts to include in the Replacement Portfolio another mortgage loan (an “Alternative Mortgage Loan”), in lieu of each New Mortgage Loan that, but for such conditions in the preceding sentence, would have been included in the Replacement Portfolio, and that satisfies the following criteria:

 

(i)                                     The servicing fee rate for the Alternative Mortgage Loan is equal to or greater than the servicing fee rate of the New Mortgage Loan;

17

 

(i)                                     The weighted average servicing fee rate for the Mortgage Loans in the Retained Portfolio shall be substantially equal to the weighted average servicing fee rate for the Mortgage Loans in the Replacement Portfolio;

(d)                                 Not later than the Mortgage Loan Identification Date related to each month in which the Seller or an Affiliate thereof has originated New Mortgage Loans with respect to a Primary Portfolio, the Seller shall (i) notify the Purchaser of the identity of each such New Mortgage Loan and the Primary Portfolio Mortgage Loan that was refinanced using proceeds of such New Mortgage Loan and (ii) provide a schedule setting forth the New Mortgage Loans (or Alternative Mortgage Loans) proposed to compose the Replacement Portfolio, the New Mortgage Loans proposed to compose the Retained Portfolio and the Seller’s calculations of the weighted average gross mortgage interest rate and weighted average final maturity date of each of the proposed Replacement Portfolio and the proposed Retained Portfolio.

(f)                                   The Seller shall be required to designate Additional Mortgage Loans as follows:

 

18

 

(i)                                     On or before the Mortgage Loan Identification Date, the Seller shall calculate the Shortfall Amount, if any, with respect to such calendar month and shall furnish the same to the Purchaser along with commercially reasonable documentation supporting such calculation. The Purchaser shall have five (5) days to notify the Seller that the Purchaser accepts or objects to such calculation. If the Purchaser objects to such calculation, it shall furnish the Seller with commercially reasonable supporting documentation of its objection, and the parties shall cooperate in good faith to resolve the objection. If the parties cannot resolve the disagreement, they shall proceed in accordance with subsection (iii) below. If the Purchaser accepts the calculation, or the disagreement is otherwise resolved as provided in this Section 4.01(f), Seller shall designate Additional Mortgage Loans as provided in Section 4.01(h) below as necessary to eliminate the Shortfall Amount (calculated as though such Additional Mortgage Loans were New Mortgage Loans).

 

(ii)                                  In lieu of designating Additional Mortgage Loans to eliminate some or all of the Shortfall Amount, the Seller may pay the Purchaser, on the Assignment Date, an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of the Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread relating to such Additional Mortgage Loans that would otherwise be required to eliminate the Shortfall Amount.

 

(iii)                               If the parties cannot resolve a disagreement under this Section 4.01(f), they shall select an Approved Valuation Firm to calculate the amount in dispute, and the decision of such Approved Valuation Firm shall be final and binding on the parties. Each party agrees to cooperate in good faith with the requests for information by such Approved Valuation Firm, and each party shall pay 50% of the fees and expenses of such firm. Within two (2) Business Days after the decision of the Approved Valuation Firm, the Seller shall designate Additional Mortgage Loans or pay the cash fair market value, as applicable, in order to eliminate the Shortfall Amount.

 

(g)                                  As of the applicable Assignment Date, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Seller and the Purchaser, the Additional Mortgage Loans shall satisfy the following criteria:

 

(i)                                     Each Additional Mortgage Loan is included in a mortgage backed security guaranteed by Ginnie Mae;

 

(ii)                                  The weighted average of the mortgage rates on the Additional Mortgage Loans is substantially equal to the weighted average of the mortgage rates on the New Mortgage Loans originated during the applicable calendar month;

 

(iii)                               The weighted average remaining term to maturity of the Additional Mortgage Loans is not less than the weighted average remaining term to maturity of the New Mortgage Loans originated during the applicable calendar month;

 

19

 

(iv)                              The weighted average seasoning of the Additional Mortgage Loans is less than or equal to that of the New Mortgage Loans originated during the applicable calendar month;

 

(v)                                 The average unpaid principal balance of the Additional Mortgage Loans is not less than the average unpaid principal balance of the New Mortgage Loans that were originated during the applicable calendar month;

 

(vi)                              The remaining material credit characteristics of the Additional Mortgage Loan (other than as specified in clauses (i)-(v) above) are substantially similar to the credit characteristics of the New Mortgage Loans originated during the applicable calendar month;

 

(vii)                           Each Additional Mortgage Loan is current as of the applicable Assignment Date; and

 

(viii)                        Each Additional Mortgage Loan is not subject to any foreclosure or similar proceeding, is not in, and has not gone through, the process of modification, workout or any other loss mitigation process and is not involved in litigation.

 

(h)                                 On the Assignment Date related to each month in which the Seller has originated New Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall transfer and convey to the Purchaser the Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread with respect to the Replacement Portfolio and any Additional Mortgage Loans.  Such transfer and conveyance shall be effected by an instrument of assignment substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.  The Seller shall be entitled to retain the related Secondary Portfolio Retained Excess Spread.  The New Mortgage Loans, Alternative Mortgage Loans or Additional Mortgage Loans for which the Seller transfers and conveys to the Purchaser the related Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread on each Assignment Date and the New Mortgage Loans, Alternative Mortgage Loans or Additional Mortgage Loans for which the Seller transferred and conveyed to the Purchaser the related Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread on all prior Assignment Dates shall together constitute the “Secondary Portfolio”.

 

(i)                                     If insufficient New Mortgage Loans and Alternative Mortgage Loans are available in circumstances that require a transfer by the Seller under the foregoing subsections, or if counsel or independent accountants for the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates determines that there exists a material risk that such transfer would result in a violation of the REIT Requirements by such Person, then the Seller shall consult with the Purchaser and the parties shall negotiate in good faith for the transfer of one or more investments in transactions that would not, in the judgment of counsel or independent accountants for the Seller or the Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates, present such a risk and that would result in net economic benefits to the Purchaser that are no less favorable than the economic benefit to the Purchaser that would have resulted from a transfer under foregoing subsections.

Section 4.02                             Intent of Parties.

 

(a)                                 The parties intend that each transfer made by the Seller under Section 4.01 constitute a valid absolute transfer or sale of the related Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread and all proceeds thereof for the related Replacement Portfolio by the Seller to the Purchaser.  If the conveyance of such Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread is characterized by a court or governmental authority as security for a loan rather than an absolute transfer or sale, the Seller will be deemed to have granted, and hereby grants, to the Purchaser, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now existing or in the future arising or acquired, (i) all Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread and all rights under this Agreement with respect to any Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread; (ii) the Secondary Portfolio Spread Custodial Account; (iii) all rights to payment of amounts due under this Agreement on account of or related to the Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread; (iv) all rights to reimbursement of Secondary Portfolio Excess Spreads and/or amounts due in respect thereof under the related Servicing Agreements and Guides; (v) all records, instruments or other documentation evidencing any of the foregoing; (vi) all “general intangibles”, “accounts”, “chattel paper”, “securities accounts”, “investment property”, “deposit accounts” and “money” as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code relating to or constituting any and all of the foregoing (including, without limitation, all of Seller’s rights, title and interest in and under the Secondary Portfolio Excess Spreads); and (vii) any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on or proceeds of any and all of the foregoing, as security for a loan in an amount equal to the value of such Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread.

 

(b)                                 The Seller hereby authorizes the filing of any financing statements or continuation statements, and amendments to financing statements, in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the Purchaser may determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the sale of the assets conveyed and security interests granted to Purchaser and agrees to execute financing statements in form reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser and the Seller at the request of the Purchaser in order to reflect the Purchaser’s interests in the assets conveyed to or subjected to a security interest in favor of the Purchaser pursuant hereto and in the related Secondary Portfolio Spread Custodial Accounts.

 

(c)                                  In connection with each Transaction involving Ginnie Mae Mortgage Loans, the Seller and the Purchaser further agree and acknowledge with respect to such Ginnie Mae Mortgage Loans as follows:

 

(i)  the Seller is entitled to the Base Servicing Fee and the Seller and the Purchaser, as applicable, are entitled to the Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread only so long as the Seller maintains its status as an approved Ginnie Mae issuer and servicer;

 

(ii) upon the Seller’s loss of its status as an approved Ginnie Mae issuer and servicer, the Purchaser’s rights to any Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread also terminate;

 

(iii) the sale of the Seller’s rights to the Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread conveys no right (such as a right to become a substitute issuer or servicer) that is not specifically provided for in the Ginnie Mae Guide; and

 

(iv)  to the extent the Seller has pledged or in the future pledges as collateral to a third party lender the Servicing Rights relating to any Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread, the pledged collateral will include such Secondary Portfolio Excess

 

21

 

Spread and the Purchaser will enter into any such agreements and/or file any financing statements  as reasonably required by such third party lender to give effect thereto.

 

Section 4.03                             Additional Representations and Warranties.

 

On the Assignment Date with respect to each Replacement Portfolio, the provisions set forth in Section 3.01(b) and Section 3.01(c) shall apply, as applicable, to each Replacement Mortgage Loan and the Replacement Portfolio, and Seller shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to the Purchaser with respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan and the Replacement Portfolio, as applicable, the matters set forth in Section 3.01(e).

In connection with the Primary Portfolio Mortgage Loans and Secondary Portfolio Mortgage Loans related to each Transaction, the Seller shall not, without the express written consent of Purchaser (which consent may be withheld in its absolute discretion), (a) terminate or amend any Servicing Rights, or (b) enter into any termination, modification, waiver or amendment of any applicable Servicing Agreement or its rights and duties under any applicable Guide.

 

24

 

(b)                                 Under no circumstances shall the Purchaser be responsible for the servicing acts and omissions of the Seller or any other servicer or any originator of the Mortgage Loans, or for any servicing related obligations or liabilities of any servicer under the Servicing Agreements or the Guides or any Person under the Mortgage Loan Documents, or for any other obligations or liabilities of the Seller.

 

(c)                                  Upon the termination of the Seller as servicer under any Servicing Agreement or Guide, the Seller shall remain liable to the Purchaser and the applicable loan owner or master servicer for all liabilities and obligations incurred by the Seller while the Seller was acting as the servicer thereunder.

 

Section 7.02                             Base Servicing Fees.  The Seller agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of the applicable Servicing Agreements and Guides, as between the parties hereto, the Seller shall be entitled to servicing fees on the Primary Portfolio and any Secondary Portfolio only to the extent of the applicable Base Servicing Fee and only to the extent that funds available for the payment of such Base Servicing Fee are available in the Primary Portfolio Spread Custodial Account (in the case of the Primary Portfolio Mortgage Loans) or the Secondary Portfolio Spread Custodial Account (in the case of the Secondary Portfolio Mortgage Loans).

The portion of the Base Servicing Fee relating to a Secondary Portfolio Mortgage Loan shall begin to accrue as of the commencement of the Collection Period in which the related Assignment Date occurs but in no event shall such portion accrue on any day on which the portion of the Base Servicing Fee relating to the Primary Portfolio Mortgage Loan in respect of which such Secondary Portfolio Mortgage Loan became a Secondary Portfolio Mortgage Loan also accrues.

 

Section 7.03                             Reporting.  In connection with each Transaction, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser monthly reports, and afford the Purchaser access to information, at such times and in such form and substance as are set forth in the related Confirmation or as may reasonably be agreed between the Seller and the Purchaser.
