Maximum Committed Purchase Price, Buyer is under no obligation to agree to enter into, or to enter into, any Transaction pursuant to this Agreement.  All Purchased Mortgage Loans shall exceed or meet the Underwriting Guidelines, and shall be serviced by Servicer.  The aggregate Purchase Price of Purchased Mortgage Loans subject to outstanding Transactions shall not exceed the Maximum Committed Purchase Price.

 

b.              With respect to each Transaction involving Mortgage Loans which are not Wet-Ink Mortgage Loans, Seller shall give Buyer and Custodian at least 2 Business Day’s prior notice of any proposed Purchase Date (the date on which such notice is given, the “Notice Date”); provided, that if Seller is delivering 200 or more Mortgage Loans, which are not Wet-Ink Mortgage Loans, on a Purchase Date, the number of Business Days prior to the related Purchase Date by which the notice shall be delivered shall be increased by one (1) additional Business Day for each 200 Mortgage Loans in excess of 200 Mortgage Loans.

d.              With respect to each Exception Mortgage Loan, the Purchase Confirmation, together with this Agreement, shall constitute conclusive evidence of the terms agreed between Buyer and Seller with respect to the Transaction to which the Purchase Confirmation relates, and Seller’s acceptance of the related proceeds shall constitute Seller’s agreement to the terms of such Purchase Confirmation.  It is the intention of the parties that, with respect to each Exception Mortgage Loan, each Purchase Confirmation shall not be separate from this Agreement but shall be made a part of this Agreement.  In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and, with respect to each Exception Mortgage Loan, a Purchase Confirmation, the terms of the Purchase Confirmation shall control with respect to the related Transaction.

 

e.               Upon the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 10 hereof, all of Seller’s interest in the Repurchase Assets shall pass to Buyer on the Purchase Date, against the transfer of the Purchase Price to Seller.

Seller is obligated to repurchase and take physical possession of the Purchased Mortgage Loans from Buyer or its designee (including Custodian) at Seller’s expense on the related Repurchase Date. To the extent that (i) the Repurchase Date shall have occurred, (ii) there exists no Default, (iii) Seller wishes to enter into a new Transaction with respect to the related Mortgage Loans, (iv) such Mortgage Loans have a Market Value in excess of zero and (v) the Purchase Price shall not cause the aggregate Purchase Price of all Transactions to exceed the Maximum Committed Purchase Price nor cause a Margin Deficit, then Seller may request a new Transaction in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 hereof and Buyer shall enter the same.

c.               In the event that at any time any Purchased Mortgage Loan violates the applicable sublimit set forth in the definition of Market Value, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, redesignate such Mortgage Loan as an Exception Mortgage Loan.  If Buyer does not redesignate such Mortgage Loan as an Exception Mortgage Loan, and if Seller fails to notify Buyer within one (1) Business Day following notice or knowledge of such violation that Seller does not want to receive a bid for such Mortgage Loan as described below, Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer may offer to terminate Seller’s right and obligation to repurchase such Mortgage Loan  by paying Seller a price to be set by Buyer in its sole discretion (a “Bid”). Seller, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of Buyer’s bid (the “Violation Deadline”) may, in its sole discretion, either (i) accept Buyer’s bid, terminating Seller’s right to repurchase such Mortgage Loan under this Agreement or (ii) immediately repurchase the Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price in accordance with this Section 4.  Any amount paid by Buyer or its Affiliate to terminate Seller’s right to repurchase a Purchased Mortgage Loan if a Bid is accepted pursuant to this Section shall be applied by Buyer toward the outstanding Repurchase Price for the applicable Transaction.

 

5.              Price Differential.

 

a.              On each Business Day that a Transaction is outstanding, the Pricing Rate shall be reset and, unless otherwise agreed, the accrued and unpaid Price Differential shall be settled in cash on each related Price Differential Payment Date.

On the Price Differential Payment Date, Seller shall pay to Buyer the Price Differential for such Price Differential Payment Date (along with any other amounts to be paid pursuant to Sections 7 and 35 hereof), by wire transfer in immediately available funds.

 

b.              If Seller fails to pay all or part of the Price Differential by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the related Price Differential Payment Date, with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan, Seller shall be obligated to pay to Buyer (in

6.              Margin Maintenance

 

a.              If at any time the Market Value of any Purchased Mortgage Loan subject to a Transaction is less than Buyer’s Margin Amount for such Transaction (a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may by notice to any Seller require Seller to transfer to Buyer cash in an amount at least equal to the Margin Deficit (such requirement, a “Margin Call”) .

 

b.              Notice delivered pursuant to Section 6(a) may be given by any written or electronic means.  With respect to a Margin Call in the amount of less than 5% of  the Purchase Price for all Transactions (a “Low Percentage Margin Call”), any notice given before 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the following Business Day; notice given after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day following the date of such notice. With respect to all Margin Calls other than Low Percentage Margin Calls, any notice given before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business  Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day; notice given after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the following Business Day. The foregoing time requirements for satisfaction of a Margin Call are referred to as the “Margin Deadlines”).  The failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights hereunder, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer to do so at a later date.  Seller and Buyer each agree that a failure or delay by Buyer to exercise its rights hereunder shall not limit or waive Buyer’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for Seller.

 

c.               In the event that a Margin Deficit exists with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan, Buyer may retain any funds received by it to which Seller would otherwise be entitled hereunder, which funds (i) shall be held by Buyer against the related Margin Deficit and (ii) may be applied by Buyer against any Purchased Mortgage Loan for which the related Margin Deficit remains otherwise unsatisfied.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer retains the right, in its sole discretion, to make a Margin Call in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.

(d)         there shall have occurred a material adverse change in the financial condition of Buyer which affects (or can reasonably be expected to affect) materially and adversely the ability of Buyer to fund its obligations under this Agreement.

 

11.       Program; Costs

 

a.              Seller shall pay the fees and expenses of Buyer’s counsel [***] in connection with the original preparation and execution of the Program Agreements. Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any of Buyer’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs, including due diligence review costs and reasonable attorney’s fees as further described below and in Section 35, incurred by Buyer in determining the acceptability to Buyer of any Mortgage Loans.

interpretation of any law, regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be an increase in the cost to Buyer in engaging in the present or any future Transactions, then Seller agrees to pay to Buyer, from time to time, upon demand by Buyer (with a copy to Custodian) the actual cost of additional amounts as specified by Buyer to compensate Buyer for such increased costs; provided that this Section 11(b) shall only apply to the extent that such increased costs are not reflected in Buyer’s calculation of CSCOF.

 

c.               With respect to any Transaction, Buyer may conclusively rely upon, and shall incur no liability to Seller in acting upon, any request or other communication that Buyer reasonably believes to have been given or made by a person authorized to enter into a Transaction on Seller’s behalf.  In each such case, Seller hereby waives the right to dispute Buyer’s record of the terms of the Purchase Confirmation, request or other communication.

 

d.              Notwithstanding the assignment of the Program Agreements with respect to each Purchased Mortgage Loan to Buyer, Seller agrees and covenants with Buyer to enforce diligently Seller’s rights and remedies set forth in the Program Agreements.

 

e.               Any payments made by Seller or Guarantor to Buyer shall be free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any taxes; provided, however, that if such payer shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any taxes from any sums payable to Buyer, then such payer shall (A) make such deductions or withholdings and pay such amounts to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law, (B) pay to Buyer the sum that would have been payable had such deduction or withholding not been made, and (C) at the time Price Differential is paid, pay to Buyer all additional amounts as specified by Buyer to preserve the after-tax yield Buyer would have received if such tax had not been imposed, and otherwise indemnify Buyer for any such taxes imposed.

 

12.       Servicing

 

a.              Seller shall service the Mortgage Loans consistent with the degree of skill and care that Seller customarily requires with respect to similar Mortgage Loans owned or managed by it and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.  The Servicer shall (i) comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations, (ii) maintain all state and federal licenses necessary for it to perform its servicing responsibilities hereunder and (iii) not impair the rights of Buyer in any Mortgage Loans or any payment thereunder.  Buyer may terminate the servicing of any Mortgage Loan with the then-existing Servicer in accordance with Section 12(d) hereof.

 

b.              Seller shall hold or cause to be held all escrow funds collected by Seller as Servicer with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loans in trust accounts and shall apply the same for the purposes for which such funds were collected.

29

 

c.               Seller shall deposit all collections received by Seller as Servicer on the Purchased Mortgage Loans in the Securities Account on a  daily basis within one (1) Business Day following receipt; provided, however, that any amounts required to be remitted to Buyer shall be deposited in the Securities Account on or prior to the day on which such remittance is to occur.

 

d.              Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, Buyer shall have the right to immediately terminate Seller’s right to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans without payment of any penalty or termination fee.  Seller shall cooperate in transferring the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer appointed by Buyer in its sole discretion.

 

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

 

f.                Servicer shall service the Purchased Mortgage Loans on behalf of Buyer for thirty (30) day intervals which will automatically terminate if not renewed by Buyer (such renewal as evidenced by Buyer’s entry into a new Transaction).

 

g.               For the avoidance of doubt, Seller retains no economic rights to the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans. As such, Seller expressly acknowledges that the Purchased Mortgage Loans are sold to Buyer on a “servicing-released” basis with such servicing retained by Seller.

Each of Seller and Guarantor is duly licensed or is otherwise qualified in each jurisdiction in which it transacts business for the business which it conducts and is not in default of any applicable federal, state or local laws, rules and regulations unless, in either instance, the failure to take such action is not reasonably likely (either individually or in the aggregate) to cause a Material Adverse Effect and is not in default of such state’s applicable laws, rules and regulations.  Seller has the requisite power and authority and legal right to originate and purchase Mortgage Loans (as applicable) and to own, sell and grant a lien on all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans.

(4)         Due Authorization.  Each of Seller and Guarantor has all necessary corporate or other power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Program Agreements, as applicable.

(8)         No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance by each of Seller and Guarantor of this Agreement, any Transaction Request or Purchase Confirmation hereunder and the Program Agreements do not conflict with any term or provision of the organizational documents of Seller or Guarantor or any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree applicable to Seller or Guarantor of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over Seller or Guarantor, which conflict would have a Material Adverse Effect and will not result in any violation of any such mortgage, instrument, agreement or obligation to which Seller or Guarantor is a party.

 

(9)         True and Complete Disclosure.  All information, reports, exhibits, schedules, financial statements or certificates of Seller, Guarantor or any Affiliate thereof or any of their officers furnished or to be furnished to Buyer in connection with the initial or any ongoing due diligence of Seller, Guarantor or any Affiliate or officer thereof, negotiation, preparation, or delivery of the Program Agreements are true and complete and do not omit to disclose any material facts necessary to make the statements herein or therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading.

Neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; provided, however, that any entity that is under the management of PNMAC Capital Management LLC in its capacity as an “investment adviser” within the meaning of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and is otherwise not directly or indirectly owned or controlled by Seller shall not be deemed a “Subsidiary” for the purposes of this Section 13(a)(16).

[***] Confidential treatment has been requested for the bracketed portions. The confidential redacted portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

45

 

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

 

b.              If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Section, (i) Seller’s obligations in such Transactions to repurchase all Purchased Mortgage Loans, at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date determined in accordance with subparagraph (a) of this Section, shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (ii) all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by Buyer and applied, in Buyer’s sole discretion, to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices for all outstanding Transactions and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder, and (iii) Seller shall immediately deliver to Buyer the Mortgage Files relating to any Purchased Mortgage Loans subject to such Transactions then in Seller’s possession or control.

 

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

 

d.              Buyer shall have the right to direct all servicers then servicing any Purchased Mortgage Loans to remit all collections thereon to Buyer, and if any such payments are received by Seller, Seller shall not commingle the amounts received with other funds of Seller and shall promptly pay them over to Buyer.  Buyer shall also have the right to terminate any one or all of the servicers then servicing any Purchased Mortgage Loans with or without cause.

Such disposition of Purchased Mortgage Loans may be, at Buyer’s option, on either a servicing-released or a servicing-retained basis.  Buyer shall not be required to give any warranties as to the Purchased Mortgage Loans with respect to any such disposition thereof.  Buyer may specifically disclaim or

46

 

modify any warranties of title or the like relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans.  The foregoing procedure for disposition of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and liquidation of the Repurchase Assets shall not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale thereof.  Seller agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for Buyer to dispose of the Purchased Mortgage Loans or the Repurchase Assets or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets similar to the Purchased Mortgage Loans or the Repurchase Assets, or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets.  Buyer shall be entitled to place the Purchased Mortgage Loans in a pool for issuance of mortgage-backed securities at the then-prevailing price for such securities and to sell such securities for such prevailing price in the open market.  Buyer shall also be entitled to sell any or all of such Mortgage Loans individually for the prevailing price. Buyer shall also be entitled, in its sole discretion to elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Mortgage Loans, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Mortgage Loans and the Repurchase Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Mortgage Loans against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder.

 

e.     Upon the happening of one or more Events of Default, Buyer may apply any proceeds from the liquidation of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets to the Repurchase Prices hereunder and all other Obligations in the manner Buyer deems appropriate in its sole discretion.

Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (i) the amount of all reasonable and customary legal or other expenses (including, without limitation, all costs and expenses of Buyer in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other agreement evidencing a Transaction, whether in action, suit or litigation or bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting  creditors’ rights generally, further including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel (including the costs of internal counsel of Buyer) incurred in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, (ii) damages in an amount equal to the cost (including all fees, expenses and commissions) of entering into replacement transactions and entering into or terminating hedge transactions in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, and (iii) any other loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of a Transaction.

 

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

 

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

 

[***] Confidential treatment has been requested for the bracketed portions. The confidential redacted portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

47

 

i.      Buyer may exercise one or more of the remedies available to Buyer immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and, except to the extent provided in subsections (a) and (d) of this Section, at any time thereafter without notice to Seller.  All rights and remedies arising under this Agreement as amended from time to time hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have.

 

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

 

k.     Buyer shall have the right to perform reasonable due diligence with respect to Seller and the Mortgage Loans, which review shall be at the expense of Seller subject to Section 35 hereof.

 

17.  Reports

21.  Entire Agreement; Severability

 

This Agreement shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions.  Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.

 

22.  Non assignability

 

The Program Agreements are not assignable by Seller or Guarantor.  Buyer may from time to time assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Program Agreements; provided, however that Buyer shall maintain as agent of Seller, for review by Seller upon written request, a register of assignees and a copy of an executed assignment and acceptance by Buyer and assignee (“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned.  Upon such assignment, (a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Program Agreement to the extent of the percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and shall succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of Buyer hereunder, and (b) Buyer shall, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned by it to either (i) an Affiliate of Buyer which assumes the obligations of Buyer or (ii) to another Person approved by Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) which assumes the obligations of Buyer, be released from its obligations hereunder

53

 

and under the Program Agreements.  Unless otherwise stated in the Assignment and Acceptance, Seller shall continue to take directions solely from Buyer unless otherwise notified by Buyer in writing.  Buyer may distribute to any prospective assignee any document or other information delivered to Buyer by Seller.

 

23.  Set-off

 

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

 

24.  Binding Effect; Governing Law; Jurisdiction

 

a.     This Agreement shall be binding and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Seller acknowledges that the obligations of Buyer hereunder or otherwise are not the subject of any guaranty by, or recourse to, any direct or indirect parent or other Affiliate of Buyer.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

 

b.     EACH OF SELLER AND GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY.  EACH OF SELLER AND GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM AGREEMENTS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING.  EACH OF SELLER AND GUARANTOR HEREBY SUBMITS TO, AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY HAVE TO, EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM AGREEMENTS.

54

 

25.  No Waivers, Etc.

 

No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either party shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy hereunder.  No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto.  Without limitation on any of the foregoing, the failure to give a notice pursuant to Section 6(a), 16(a) or otherwise, will not constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later date.

 

26.  Intent

 

a.     The parties recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended and that all payments hereunder are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments” as defined in Title 11 of the United States Code.

 

b.     It is understood that either party’s right to liquidate Purchased Mortgage Loans delivered to it in connection with Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 16 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and 559 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended.

 

c.     The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term is defined in FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).

 

d.     It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA).

 

e.     This Agreement is intended to be a “repurchase agreement” and a “securities contract,” within the meaning of Section 555 and Section 559 under the Bankruptcy Code.

 

27.  Disclosure Relating to Certain Federal Protections

 

The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:

 

[***] Confidential treatment has been requested for the bracketed portions. The confidential redacted portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

55

 

a.     in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15 of the 1934 Act, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the SIPA do not protect the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder;

 

b.     in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a government securities broker or a government securities dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide protection to the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; and

 

c.     in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial institution, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable.

 

28.  Power of Attorney

 

Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Repurchase Assets without Seller’s signature thereon as Buyer, at its option, may deem appropriate.  Seller hereby appoints Buyer as Seller’s agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any such financing statement or statements in Seller’s name and to perform all other acts which Buyer deems appropriate to perfect and continue its ownership interest in and/or the security interest granted hereby, if applicable, and to protect, preserve and realize upon the Repurchase Assets, including, but not limited to, the right to endorse notes, complete blanks in documents, transfer servicing, and sign assignments on behalf of Seller as its agent and attorney-in-fact.  This agency and power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable without Buyer’s consent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the power of attorney hereby granted may be exercised only during the occurrence and continuance of any Default hereunder. Seller shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section 28.  In addition the foregoing, Seller agrees to execute a power of attorney in the form of Exhibit E hereto (the “Power of Attorney”), to be delivered on the date hereof.

 

29.  Buyer May Act Through Affiliates

 

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

 

30.  Indemnification; Obligations

 

a.     Each of Seller and Guarantor agrees to hold Buyer and each of its respective Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and indemnify each Indemnified Party (and will reimburse each Indemnified Party as the same is incurred) against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Transaction Request, Purchase Confirmation, any Program Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby

 

[***] Confidential treatment has been requested for the bracketed portions. The confidential redacted portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

56

 

resulting from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Each of Seller and Guarantor also agrees to reimburse each Indemnified Party for all reasonable expenses in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy provided for herein, any Transaction Request, Purchase Confirmation and any Program Agreement, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel.  Seller’s and Guarantor’s agreements in this Section 30 shall survive the payment in full of the Repurchase Price and the expiration or termination of this Agreement.  Each of Seller and Guarantor hereby acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are recourse obligations of Seller and Guarantor and are not limited to recoveries each Indemnified Party may have with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans.  Each of Seller and Guarantor also agrees not to assert any claim against Buyer or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the facility established hereunder, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby.  THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY AND AGREEMENT NOT TO ASSERT CLAIMS EXPRESSLY APPLIES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO THE NEGLIGENCE (BUT NOT GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT) OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.

 

b.     Without limitation to the provisions of Section 4, if any payment of the Repurchase Price of any Transaction is made by Seller other than on the then scheduled Repurchase Date thereto as a result of an acceleration of the Repurchase Date pursuant to Section 16 or for any other reason, Seller shall, upon demand by Buyer, pay to Buyer an amount sufficient to compensate Buyer for any losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as of a result of such payment.

 

c.     Without limiting the provisions of Section 30(a) hereof, if Seller fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under this Agreement, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of Seller by Buyer, in its sole discretion.

 

31.  Counterparts

 

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

 

32.  Confidentiality

 

This Agreement and its terms, provisions, supplements and amendments, and notices hereunder, are proprietary to Buyer and Agent or Seller and Guarantor, as applicable and shall be held by each party hereto, as applicable in strict confidence and shall not be disclosed to

 

[***] Confidential treatment has been requested for the bracketed portions. The confidential redacted portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

57

 

any third party without the written consent of Buyer, Seller or Guarantor, as applicable, except for (i) disclosure to Buyer’s, Seller’s or Guarantor’s direct and indirect Affiliates and Subsidiaries, attorneys or accountants, but only to the extent such disclosure is necessary and such parties agree to hold all information in strict confidence, or (ii)  disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Program Agreement, the parties hereto may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, any fact relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such federal, state and local tax treatment and that may be relevant to understanding such tax treatment; provided that Seller may not disclose the name of or identifying information with respect to Buyer or Agent or any pricing terms (including, without limitation, the Pricing Rate, Commitment Fee, Purchase Price Percentage and Purchase Price) or other nonpublic business or financial information (including any sublimits and financial covenants) that is unrelated to the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions and is not relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, without the prior written consent of Buyer.

 

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller 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 (the “Confidential Information”).  Seller understands that the Confidential Information may contain “nonpublic personal information”, as that term is defined in Section 509(4) of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “Act”), and Seller agrees to maintain such nonpublic personal information that it receives hereunder in accordance with the Act and other applicable federal and state privacy laws.  Seller shall implement such physical and other security measures as shall be necessary to (a) ensure the security and confidentiality of the “nonpublic personal information” of the “customers” and “consumers” (as those terms are defined in the Act) of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer which Buyer 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 represents and warrants that it has implemented appropriate measures to meet the objectives of Section 501(b) of the Act and of the applicable standards adopted pursuant thereto, as now or hereafter in effect.  Upon request, Seller will provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to allow Buyer to confirm that the providing party has satisfied its obligations as required under this Section.  Without limitation, this may include Buyer’s review of audits, summaries of test results, and other equivalent evaluations of Seller.  Seller shall notify the other party immediately following discovery of any breach or compromise of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of nonpublic personal information of the customers and consumers of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer provided directly to Seller by Buyer or such Affiliate.  Seller shall provide such notice to Buyer by personal delivery, by facsimile with confirmation of receipt, or by overnight courier with confirmation of receipt to the applicable requesting individual.

 

33.  Recording of Communications

 

Buyer, Seller and Guarantor shall have the right (but not the obligation) from time to time to make or cause to be made tape recordings of communications between its employees

 

[***] Confidential treatment has been requested for the bracketed portions. The confidential redacted portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

58

 

and those of the other party with respect to Transactions.  Buyer, Seller and Guarantor consent to the admissibility of such tape recordings in any court, arbitration, or other proceedings.  The parties agree that a duly authenticated transcript of such a tape recording shall be deemed to be a writing conclusively evidencing the parties’ agreement.

 

34.  Commitment Fee

 

No later than the date hereof, Seller shall pay in immediately available funds to Buyer a non-refundable Commitment Fee in the amount set forth in the fee schedule attached hereto as Annex I. Such payment shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Buyer at such account designated by Buyer.

 

35.  Periodic Due Diligence Review

 

Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to Seller and the Mortgage Loans, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than one (1) Business Day’s) prior notice unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case no notice is required, to Seller, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Mortgage Files and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Mortgage Loans in the possession or under the control of Seller and/or Custodian.  Seller also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Mortgage Files and the Mortgage Loans.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer may purchase Mortgage Loans from Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Mortgage Loans purchased in a Transaction, including, without limitation, ordering Broker’s price opinions, new credit reports and new appraisals on the related Mortgaged Properties and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such Mortgage Loan.  Buyer may underwrite such Mortgage Loans itself or engage a mutually agreed upon third party underwriter to perform such underwriting.  Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Mortgage Loans in the possession, or under the control, of Seller.  Seller further agrees that Seller shall pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 35 (“Due Diligence Costs”); provided, that such Due Diligence Costs shall not exceed the Due Diligence Cap per calendar year unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, in which event Buyer shall have the right to perform due diligence, at the sole expense of Seller without regard to the dollar limitation set forth herein.

37.  Acknowledgement Of Anti-Predatory Lending Policies

38.  Documents Mutually Drafted

SCHEDULE 1

 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO PURCHASED MORTGAGE LOANS

 

(a)                                 Payments Current.  All payments required to be made up to the Purchase Date for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and credited.  No payment required under the Mortgage Loan is delinquent nor has any payment under the Mortgage Loan been delinquent at any time since the origination of the Mortgage Loan.  The first Monthly Payment shall be made, or shall have been made, with respect to the Mortgage Loan on its Due Date or within the grace period, all in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note.

 

(b)                                 No Outstanding Charges.  All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable.  Neither Seller nor the Qualified Originator from which Seller acquired the Mortgage Loan has advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan, whichever is earlier, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and/or interest thereunder.

 

(c)                                  Original Terms Unmodified.  The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, from the date of origination; except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of Buyer, and which has been delivered to Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule.  The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent required, and its terms are reflected on the Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule.  No Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by such policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File delivered to Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule.

 

(d)                                 No Defenses.  The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan was a debtor in any state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated.  Seller has

Schedule 1-1

 

no knowledge nor has it received any notice that any Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan is a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

 

(e)                                  Hazard Insurance.  The Mortgaged Property is insured by a fire and extended perils insurance policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and to the extent required by Seller as of the date of origination consistent with the Underwriting Guidelines, against earthquake and other risks insured against by Persons operating like properties in the locality of the Mortgaged Property, in an amount not less than the greatest of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, or (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date of origination in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines.  If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified by any federal Governmental Authority as having special flood hazards, and flood insurance is available, a flood insurance policy meeting the current guidelines of the Federal Emergency Management Agency is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (2) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property, and (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1974.  All such insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Seller, its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, subsequent owners of the Mortgage Loan), as mortgagee, and may not be reduced, terminated or canceled without 30 days’ prior written notice to the mortgagee.  No such notice has been received by Seller.  All premiums on such insurance policy have been paid.  The related Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor.  Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development.  The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer and is in full force and effect.  Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller.

 

(f)                                   Compliance with Applicable Laws.  Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with, the consummation of the transactions

Schedule 1-2

 

contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations, and Seller shall maintain or shall cause its agent to maintain in its possession, available for the inspection of Buyer, and shall deliver to Buyer, upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements.

 

(g)                                  No Satisfaction of Mortgage.  The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission.  Seller has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor.

 

(h)                                 Location and Type of Mortgaged Property.  The Mortgaged Property is located in an Acceptable State as identified in the Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or such other dwelling(s) conforming with the applicable Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac requirements regarding such dwellings or conforming to underwriting guidelines acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion; provided that no residence or dwelling is a mobile home.  No portion of the Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes; provided, that, the Mortgaged Property may be a mixed use property if such Mortgaged Property conforms to underwriting guidelines acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion.

 

(i)                                     Valid First Lien.  The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first priority lien and first priority security interest, in each case, on the real property included in the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property.  The appraisal of the Mortgaged Property does not list any material repair or maintenance items.  The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to:

 

a.                                      the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable;

 

b.                                      covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in Buyer’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (a) referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan or (b) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; and

 

c.                                       other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.

 

Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein and Seller has full

(j)                                    Validity of Mortgage Documents.  The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor or guarantor, if applicable, in connection with a Mortgage Loan, and all signatures thereon, are genuine, and each such document is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms.  All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been duly and properly executed by such related parties.  No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including, without limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan.  Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Mortgage File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein.  To the best of Seller’s knowledge, except as disclosed to Buyer in writing, all tax identifications and property descriptions are legally sufficient; and tax segregation, where required, has been completed.  Such Purchased Mortgage Loan is a “closed” loan fully funded by Seller and held in Seller’s name.

 

(k)                                 Full Disbursement of Proceeds.  There is no further requirement for future advances under the Mortgage Loan, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with.  All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage.

 

(l)                                     Ownership.  Seller has full right to sell the Mortgage Loan to Buyer free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of each Mortgage Loan, Buyer will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest except any such security interest created pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 

(m)                             Doing Business.

Seller, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage, including Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy, including without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller.

There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event has occurred which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and neither Seller nor its predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration.

 

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

 

(q)                                 Location of Improvements; No Encroachments.  All improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property.  No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning and building law, ordinance or regulation.

The Due Date of the first payment under the Mortgage Note is no more than 60 days from the date of the Mortgage Note.

 

(s)                                   Customary Provisions.  The Mortgage Note has a stated maturity.  The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby.  There is no homestead or other exemption or other right available to the Mortgagor or any other person, or restriction on Seller or any other person, including without limitation, any federal, state or local, law, ordinance, decree, regulation, guidance, attorney general action, or other pronouncement, whether temporary or permanent in nature, that would interfere with, restrict or delay, either (y) the ability of Seller, Buyer or any servicer or any successor servicer to sell the related Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or otherwise, or (z) the ability of Seller, Buyer or any servicer or any successor servicer to foreclose on the related Mortgage.  The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae.

Seller has not received notification from any Governmental Authority that the Mortgaged Property is in material non-compliance with such laws or regulations, is being used, operated or occupied unlawfully or has failed to have or obtain such inspection, licenses or certificates, as the case may be.  Seller has not received notice of any violation or failure to conform with any such law, ordinance, regulation, standard, license or certificate.

Soft Markets:

 

Soft Markets include markets where the AUS identifies the market as soft, the appraiser indicates declining property values on the appraisal report and MSAs showing a quarter over quarter decline in the OFEO home price index.

 

In Soft Markets, the maximum LTV is 90% for purchase and limited cashout refinance transactions and 80% for cashout refinance transactions.

 

In addition, for attached housing (including condominiums and PUDs) located in Nevada and the Florida counties of Miami, Dade and Broward, the maximum LTV is 80%.  In addition, all other attached housing in Florida must be approved prior to documentation by the Mortgage Insurance Provider.

 

Secondary Financing:

 

·                                          New and existing secondary financing is allowed to the maximum CLTVs shown in the Maximum Loan Amount section above.

·                                          Fixed and variable rate seconds that provide for regular payments sufficient to meet the interest due and a term of at least 5 years are acceptable.

·                                          Private party seconds and seller carrybacks are not allowed.

 

Calculating LTV and CLTV Ratios:

 

·                                          LTV is equal to the first lien loan amount divided by Property Value.

·                                          CLTV is equal to the sum of the first lien loan amount plus the second lien loan or line amount divided by Property Value.

·                                          If the property was purchased within 12 months of the application date, Property Value is equal to the lower of sales price or appraised value minus sales concessions (see Source of Funds below).  If the property was purchased more than 12 months prior to the application date, property value is equal to appraised value.

·                                          A loan that combines a first mortgage with a non purchase money second mortgage is a Cash Out Refinance.  Any refinance of this type of loan within 6 months is also a Cash Out Refinance.

·                                          For a transaction to qualify as a refinance, at least one borrower obligated on the new loan must be on the existing loan being refinanced.  In addition, the continuing borrower must have been on title for the prior 12 months or must be able to demonstrate a relationship with the current obligor.  If these conditions are not met, the loan should be processed as a purchase transaction.

·                                          Only existing PNMAC borrowers are eligible for refinance loans.  Proceeds from Limited Cashout Refinance Loans can be used to:

·                                          All Hybrid ARMs are qualified at the higher of the note rate or the fully indexed rate using current and verified income that can be expected to continue for at least the next three years.

·                                          If the borrower’s current residence is pending sale, and the borrower is purchasing a new residence, both the current and proposed mortgage payments must be used to qualify the borrower.

 

Calculating DTI:

 

·                                          The DTI Ratio is equal to the sum of Monthly Housing Expenses and Other Debt Payments divided by Gross Monthly Income.

·                                          Monthly Housing Expense is the sum of principal and interest on the mortgage, hazard insurance and real estate taxes.  In addition, when applicable, the Monthly Housing Expense also includes: mortgage insurance premiums, leasehold payments, homeowner’s association dues and payments on subordinate financing.

·                                          Other Debt Payments is the sum of payments on installment debt with more than 10 months of remaining payments; alimony, child support and maintenance payments with more that 10 months of remaining payments; payments on revolving or open-end accounts regardless of balance where payment is equal to 5% of the outstanding balance, automobile lease payments regardless of the term on the lease, aggregate net rental income from all Investment Properties and the Monthly Housing Expense for a second home.  Net rental income from investment properties is equal to 75% of gross rental income less principal and interest payments.

·                                          The Gross Monthly Income used to calculate the DTI Ratio should be expected to continue for at least the next three years.  In general, the average monthly income earned during the prior 12 months is a reasonable approximation for this estimate.

 

Employment and Income Documentation:

 

·                                          All income documentation (excluding tax returns) must be dated within 90 days of the date the note is signed.

·                                          For hourly, salary and commission income a VOE must be obtained within 10 days prior to the closing date.  The VOE must be obtained using a phone number obtained independently (i.e.  not provided by the borrower).  In cases of verbal verification the lender must document in the file the name and title of who confirmed the employment, the date of the call and the source of the phone number.

* LTV restricted to 80% due to the unavailability of MI Coverage.

 

The maximum loan amount, under the Permanent and Temporary High Balance Program, in Alaska, Guam, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands for one unit, two unit, three unit and four unit properties is $938,250, $1,201,150, $1,451,925 and $1,804,375, respectively.

 

Soft Markets:

 

Soft Markets include markets where the AUS identifies the market as soft, the appraiser indicates declining property values on 1004 MC report or the appraisal and MSAs showing a quarter over quarter decline in the OFEO home price index.

 

In Soft Markets, the maximum LTV is 85% for purchase and limited cash-out refinance transactions and 75% for cash-out refinance transactions.

 

In addition, for attached housing (including condominiums and PUDs) located in Nevada and the Florida counties of Miami, Dade and Broward, the maximum LTV is 80%.  In addition, all other attached housing in Florida must be approved prior to documentation by the Mortgage Insurance Provider.

 

Secondary Financing:

 

·                                          New and existing secondary financing is allowed to the maximum CLTVs shown in the Maximum Loan Amount section above.

·                                          Fixed and variable rate seconds that provide for regular payments sufficient to meet the interest due and a term of at least 5 years are acceptable.

·                                          Private party seconds and seller carrybacks are not allowed.

 

Underwriting:

 

·                                          Loans run through DU must have an Accept/Eligible.  Accept/Ineligible is also acceptable provided the reason for disqualification is solely for the loan amount and that amount does not exceed the maximums shown above.

 

Calculating LTV and CLTV Ratios:

 

·                                          LTV is equal to the first lien loan amount divided by Property Value.

·                                          CLTV is equal to the sum of the first lien loan amount plus the second lien loan or line amount divided by Property Value.

·                                          If the property was purchased within 12 months of the application date, Property Value is equal to the lower of sales price or appraised value minus sales concessions (see Source of Funds below).  If the property was purchased more than 12 months prior to the application date, property value is equal to appraised value.

Minimum Loan Amount: See Loan Limits Matrix on page 1.

 

Occupancy: Owner occupied, second home and investor properties are eligible.

 

·                                          Owner Occupied: A 1-4 family that the borrower will occupy as a primary residence.  At least one of the borrowers must occupy and take title to the property and execute the Note and mortgage or deed of trust.  The borrower must occupy the subject property within 30 days of the close of escrow.

·                                          Second Home: A single family residence that the borrower occupies in addition to their primary residence.  Second homes must be located within reasonable proximity of the borrower’s primary residence, be available for the borrower’s exclusive use, and not be subject to any rental or time sharing arrangements.  When a property is classified as a second home, rental income cannot be used to qualify the borrower.

·                                          Investor: A 1-4 family residence that the borrower does not occupy.

·                                          The maximum number of financed properties, conventional and high balance, is 4.

·                                          Properties with less than six-month ownership of the application date are not eligible.

·                                          A loan that combines a first mortgage with a non purchase money second mortgage is a Cash-out Refinance.  Any refinance of this type of loan within 6 months is also a Cash-out Refinance.

·                                          For a transaction to qualify as a refinance, at least one borrower obligated on the new loan must be on the existing loan being refinanced.  In addition, the continuing borrower must have been on title for the prior 12 months or must be able to demonstrate a relationship with the current obligor.  If these conditions are not met, the loan should be processed as a purchase transaction.

·                                          Only existing PNMAC borrowers are eligible for refinance loans.

·                                          Proceeds from Limited Cash-out Refinance Loans can be used to:

 

·                  Pay off a first mortgage regardless of age

·                  Pay off any junior liens that were used entirely to acquire the subject property

·                                          Cash out amounts are limited to 25% of the loan amount.

·                                          For any loan with DTI greater than 36%, compensating factors must be documented on the 1008.

·                                          All Hybrid ARMs are qualified at the higher of the note rate or the fully indexed rate using current and verified income that can be expected to continue for at least the next three years.

·                                          If the borrower’s current residence is pending sale, and the borrower is purchasing a new residence, both the current and proposed mortgage payments must be used to qualify the borrower.

 

Calculating DTI:

 

·                                          The DTI Ratio is equal to the sum of Monthly Housing Expenses and Other Debt Payments divided by Gross Monthly Income.

·                                          Monthly Housing Expense is the sum of principal and interest on the mortgage, hazard insurance and real estate taxes.  In addition, when applicable, the Monthly Housing Expense also includes: mortgage insurance premiums, leasehold payments, homeowner’s association dues and payments on subordinate financing.

·                                          Other Debt Payments is the sum of payments on installment debt with more than 10 months of remaining payments; alimony, child support and maintenance payments with more that 10 months of remaining payments; payments on revolving or open-end accounts regardless of balance where payment is equal to 5% of the outstanding balance, automobile lease payments regardless of the term on the lease, aggregate net rental income from all Investment Properties and the Monthly Housing Expense for a second home.  Net rental income from investment properties is equal to 75% of gross rental income less principal and interest payments.

·                                          The Gross Monthly Income used to calculate the DTI Ratio should be expected to continue for at least the next three years.  In general, the average monthly income earned during the prior 12 months is a reasonable approximation for this estimate.

 

Employment and Income Documentation:

 

·                                          All income documentation (excluding tax returns) must be dated within 90 days of the note

The VOE must be obtained using a phone number obtained independently (i.e.  not provided by the borrower).  In cases of verbal verification the lender must document in the file the name and title of who confirmed the employment, the date of the call and the source of the phone number.

·                  Purchase is due to a relocation of the primary wage earner and the secondary wage earner will return to work, has an established history of employment and there are reasonable prospects of their employment in the same line of work.

 

·                                          All decisions to manually exceed ratios must be justified in writing and supported by documentation.

 

Calculating DTI:

 

·                                          Housing ratio is the sum of principal and interest; escrow deposits for real estate taxes, hazard insurance, mortgage and flood insurance; homeowner association dues; ground rent; special assessments and payments on any secondary financing divided by gross monthly income.

·                                          Debt ratio is the sum of the housing expenses described above plus all other payments on credit obligations divided by gross monthly income.

·                                          The following liabilities must be considered in qualifying borrowers if they have more than 10 recurring payments remaining.

 

·                  Revolving accounts

·                  Installment accounts including those with less than 10 months remaining if the amount of the payment exceeds $100 per month.

·                  Mortgage debt on other properties

·                  Child support and alimony

·                  Private notes

·                  Co-signed loans and contingent liabilities

·                  Payments on new debts resulting from material inquiries on the credit report within 90 days.

·                  Negative rental income

Employment and Income Documentation:

 

·                                          For salaried borrowers a verbal verification of employment (VOE) is required.  If the VOE is performed verbally the phone number must be obtained independently 

 

[***]  Confidential treatment has been requested for the bracketed portions.  The confidential redacted portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

such as over the internet or through an employment verification service such as The Work Number.  The VOE must include: the name of the entity contacted, the individual who provided the information, the nature of the information that was verified (current employment status, title or position, length of employment, salary and/or total compensation) and name and title of the information who obtained the information.  The borrower’s employment for the prior two years must be verified and the borrower must explain any gap in employment greater than one month.

·                                          For salaried borrowers: most recent paystub showing year to date income and a W-2 from the most recent year.

·                                          For self employed borrowers: a signed tax return, including all schedules, for the most recent 2 years or a signed tax return, including all schedules, for the most recent one year and a profit and loss statement obtained from the borrower’s accountant (see 4155.1 REV-5, Mortgage Credit Analysis for Mortgage Insurance on One-to-Four Unit Mortgage Loans, for additional information)

·                                          For borrowers receiving alimony or child support: a copy of the divorce decree or separation agreement showing income will continue for 3 years and verification of receipt such as cancelled checks.

·                                          For borrowers receiving income from a second job: a VOE and a current paystub with year to date income.

·                                          Non-taxable income may be increased by multiplying non-taxable income by a factor of 1.25 or one 1 plus the tax rate determined from current and applicable tax tables.

·                                          Rental Income.  Rent received for properties owned by the borrower is acceptable if the lender can document that the rental income is stable.  Examples of stability may include a current lease, an agreement to lease, or a rental history over the previous 24 months that is free of unexplained gaps greater than three months.

·                                          Interest and Dividends.  Interest and dividend income may be used, provided that documentation (tax returns or account statements) supports a two-year history of receipt.  This income must be averaged over the two years.  Any funds derived from these sources and required for the cash investment must be subtracted before the projected interest or dividend income is calculated.

·                                          Retirement and Social Security Income.  Retirement and social security income require verification from the source (former employer, Social Security Administration) or federal tax returns.  If any benefits expire within the first full three years, the income source may be considered only as a compensating factor.

·                                          An IRS Form 4506 executed by the borrower is required at closing on any loan where more than 25% of the income used to qualify the loan was from a source documented by tax returns.

·                                          The Escrow Agreement associated with loans that have buydowns must provide that any undistributed funds be applied to the balance of the mortgage if the loan is prepaid or the property is sold.
