(a)           For all Transactions

18

 

Section 2.06           Confirmations; Transactions.

 

(a)           In connection with Buyer’s purchase of Purchased Assets on
each Purchase Date, Buyer shall forward to Sellers a confirmation (a “Confirmation”)
by Electronic Transmission setting forth with respect to each Transaction
funded on such date, (1) the mortgage loan number; (2) the Purchase
Price for such Purchased Assets; (3) the outstanding principal amount of the
related Mortgage Loans; (4) the Repurchase Date and applicable Stated
Final Repurchase Date; (5) the Pricing Rate; and (6) the Spread Fee
Rate. Buyer shall forward to the related Seller a revised Confirmation by
Electronic Transmission notifying such Seller as to any changes made by Buyer
in the Repurchase Date or Final Repurchase Date pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(b)           [Reserved].

 

(c)           In the event any Seller disagrees with any terms of any
Confirmation, such Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of such disagreement
within one (1) Business Day after receipt of such Confirmation unless
Buyer sends a corrected Confirmation. An objection sent by such Seller must
state specifically that it is an objection, must specify the provision(s) being
objected to by such Seller, must set forth such provision(s) in the manner
that such Seller believes they should be stated, and must be received by Buyer
no more than one (1) Business Day after the Confirmation was received by
such Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Seller shall be entitled to
notify Buyer of an objection to a Confirmation delivered in respect of a
Rollover Transaction relating to a Restatement Closing Date Mortgage Loan as
long as the information set forth in such Confirmation is consistent with the
terms of this Agreement and the other Repurchase Documents.

 

(d)           Any Confirmation by Buyer shall be deemed to have been
received by Sellers on the date actually received by any Seller, or, if
delivered by Electronic Transmission, on the date such Confirmation becomes
available on Buyer’s client website.

 

(e)           Except as set forth in Section 2.06(c), each
Confirmation, together with this Agreement, shall constitute conclusive
evidence of the terms agreed between Buyer and Sellers with respect to the
Transaction to which the Confirmation relates, and Sellers’ acceptance of the
related proceeds (or, if applicable, acceptance of the benefits of a
Transaction constituting a Rollover Transaction) shall constitute Sellers’
agreement to the terms of such Confirmation. It is the intention of the parties
that each Confirmation shall not be separate from this Agreement but shall be
made a part of this Agreement.

 

(f)            Sellers shall be obligated, jointly and severally, to
repurchase the Purchased Assets from Buyer on each related Repurchase Date and
the Final Repurchase Date (with any performance rendered by a Seller that is
not the same Seller that originally sold such Purchased Asset hereunder, to be
deemed rendered on behalf of such original Seller). Each obligation to repurchase
exists without regard to any prior or intervening liquidation or foreclosure
with respect to any Purchased Asset. Sellers are obligated to obtain the
Purchased Assets from Buyer or its designee (including Custodian) at Sellers’
expense on (or after) the related Final Repurchase Date.

 

19

 

(g)           Unless Buyer is otherwise notified by Sellers at least two
(2) Business Days prior to any Repurchase Date, Sellers shall be deemed to
have requested that each Purchased Asset that is repurchased by Sellers on such
Repurchase Date shall become subject to a new Transaction; provided that if the Repurchase Date so
determined is later than the Final Repurchase Date, the Repurchase Date for
such Transaction shall automatically reset to the Final Repurchase Date, and
the provisions of this sentence as it might relate to a new Transaction shall
expire on such date. For each such new Transaction (a “Rollover Transaction”),
unless otherwise specified by Buyer, (y) the amount that represents the
positive difference between the Repurchase Price payable by Sellers on the
Repurchase Date and the Purchase Price payable by the Purchaser on such new
Purchase Date shall be settled in immediately available funds by one net wire
on the related Repurchase Date, and (z) the Pricing Rate shall be as set
forth in this Agreement (and shall be reflected in the related Confirmation).
LIBOR shall be reset daily by Buyer. If Sellers fail to send the wire described
in clause (y) by 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the related
Repurchase Date, Sellers shall be obligated to pay to Buyer (in addition to,
and together with, such payment) interest on the unpaid amount due at a rate
per annum equal to the Post-Default Rate (the “Late Payment Fee”) until
the overdue wire is received in full by Buyer.

 

(h)           All purchases by Buyer of Mortgage Loans hereunder shall
be on a “servicing-released” basis, that is, such purchases shall include the
purchase by Buyer of related Servicing Rights. Buyer shall agree, however, to
the delegation of its servicing responsibilities to Servicer as and to the extent
contemplated in Section 11.10.

 

Section 2.07           Termination.  On the Final Repurchase Date, termination of
all Transactions will be effected by transfer and conveyance by Buyer to the
applicable Seller or its designee of the Purchased Assets, Servicing Rights and
Additional Purchased Items. Such conveyance will be in consideration of, and
will be conditioned upon, payment to Buyer in immediately available funds of
the related Repurchase Price on such date, together with all other obligations
of the Sellers then outstanding hereunder. Such conveyance shall include any
Income in respect of the related Purchased Assets received by Buyer and not
previously credited or transferred to, or applied to the obligations of,
Sellers pursuant to Section 4.01. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) to
the extent such unapplied Income amounts are equal to or less than the
Repurchase Price and other obligations payable to Buyer on such date, such
Income amounts shall be applied to such obligations (first to unpaid fee,
expense and indemnity obligations then payable, then to accrued Price
Differential, and then to outstanding Purchase Price) and the Sellers shall pay
the remaining net amount in immediately available funds on the Final Repurchase
Date, and (ii) to the extent such unapplied Income amounts are greater
than the Repurchase Price and other obligations payable to Buyer on such date,
such Income amounts shall be applied to the satisfaction of such obligations to
Buyer in full, and Buyer shall remit the excess remaining after such
application to the applicable Seller or its designee. Sellers are obligated to
obtain the Mortgage Files from Buyer or its designee (including Custodian) at
Sellers’ expense on the Final Repurchase Date.

 

Section 2.08           Early Terminations.  Sellers may repurchase Purchased Assets
without penalty or premium, but subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.08,
on any date in consideration of the payment to Buyer of the applicable
Repurchase Price on such date. The

 

20

 

Repurchase Price payable for the repurchase
of any such Purchased Asset shall be reduced as provided in Section 4.02.
If Sellers intend to make such a repurchase, Sellers shall give three (3) Business
Days’ prior written notice (or such other time as the parties may agree)
thereof to Buyer, designating the Purchased Assets to be repurchased. If such
notice is given, an amount equal to the Repurchase Price for such Purchased
Assets shall be due and payable on the date of repurchase specified therein,
and, on receipt, such amount shall be applied to the Repurchase Price for the
designated Purchased Assets.

 

Section 2.09           Reserved.

 

Section 2.10           Extension Conditions.  As contemplated in the definition of Final
Repurchase Date, and subject in each case to the satisfaction of each of the
applicable conditions set forth below (the “Extension Conditions”),
Buyer agrees that (a) the First Stated Final Repurchase Date shall be
extended to the Second Stated Final Repurchase Date, (b) the Second Stated
Final Repurchase Date shall be extended to the Third Stated Final Repurchase
Date, and (c) the Third Stated Final Repurchase Date shall be extended to
the Fourth Stated Final Repurchase Date. Such extensions, if occurring, will be
deemed to occur and take effect as of the last day of the term being so
extended. Such extensions shall only occur, however, if (i) as of the
effective date of each such extension, no unwaived Event of Default shall have
occurred, (ii) with respect to an extension to the Third Stated Final
Repurchase Date, as of the effective date of each such extension, (A) the
aggregate Repurchase Price in respect of all Purchased Assets does not exceed
$100,000,000, and (B) the aggregate Repurchase Price in respect of all
Purchased Assets does not exceed 65% of the outstanding principal balance of
Purchased Assets consisting of Mortgage Loans that are Eligible Assets, (iii) with
respect to an extension to the Fourth Stated Final Repurchase Date, as of the
effective date of each such extension, (A) the aggregate Repurchase Price
in respect of all Purchased Assets does not exceed $50,000,000, and (B) the
aggregate Repurchase Price in respect of all Purchased Assets does not exceed
55% of the outstanding principal balance of Purchased Assets consisting of
Mortgage Loans that are Eligible Assets; and (iv) Sellers shall not have
delivered a written notice to Buyer stating that it is the intention of Sellers
that such extension shall not occur. The failure of the Sellers to deliver such
written notice of non-extension shall be deemed to constitute, as of the
effective date of the intended extension, a representation and warranty of the
Sellers to Buyer that each applicable Extension Condition has been satisfied as
of such date.

ARTICLE IV

INCOME PAYMENTS

 

Section 4.01           Income Payments.

 

(a)           Where a particular Transaction’s term extends over a date
on which Income is received with respect to the Purchased Assets related to
that Transaction, such Income shall be the property of Buyer. Sellers shall
remit or cause to be remitted to

 

21

 

Buyer, within one (1) Business Day of
receipt by the applicable Seller or (if applicable) the Servicer (or receipt
from the Sub-Servicer, if applicable), all Income, including, without
limitation, all Income received by or on behalf of Sellers with respect to such
Purchased Assets, for application in accordance with Section 4.02. For
so long as Servicer acts as interim servicer with respect to the Purchased
Assets pursuant to Section 11.10, Servicer shall (or shall if
applicable, cause the Sub-Servicer to), deposit or cause to be deposited all
collections received by Servicer (or the Sub-Servicer, if applicable)
constituting Income to the account maintained by the Platform for such purpose
as of the Restatement Closing Date (or to such other account as may be
designated by Buyer). For purposes hereof, Income shall include, but not be
limited to, all principal and interest payments, all prepayments and payoffs,
sale proceeds, insurance claims, condemnation awards, real estate owned rents
and any other income and all other amounts received with respect to the
Purchased Assets. Prior to Sellers’ or Servicer’s (if applicable) remittance to
Buyer of such Income, all such Income shall be held in trust for Buyer, shall
constitute the property of Buyer and shall not be commingled with other
property of Sellers, any Affiliates of Sellers or Servicer except as expressly
permitted above.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, all funds in the collection
and custodial account maintained by Buyer (whether through the Platform or
otherwise) constituting Purchased Items may be withdrawn by Buyer and applied
in accordance with Section 10.02.

 

Section 4.02           Repurchase Price Adjustments.  Buyer shall apply as a reduction to the
Repurchase Price of each Transaction in the order of, first, Price
Differential, and then second, Purchase Price (but in respect of Purchase
Price, only to the extent of principal balance repayments on the related
Mortgage Loans actually collected and received by Buyer, as contemplated in the
definition of Purchase Price hereunder), all Income and Price Differential
payments actually received by Buyer for such Transaction pursuant to Sections
4.01 and 2.06(g) as of the applicable Repurchase Date, respectively,
but only after payment from such Income of Platform Servicer Fees and any other
obligations due and payable to Buyer hereunder (to the extent such other
obligations are not satisfied by Buyer’s debiting of the UBS Cash Account), and
excluding any Late Payment Fees paid pursuant to Section 2.06(g);
it being understood that the Late Payment Fees are properties of Buyer that are
not to be applied in reduction of the Repurchase Price. Any such Income
received by Buyer and not so applied shall be credited by Buyer to the UBS Cash
Account as an increase in the UBS Cash Account Balance.

REQUIREMENTS OF LAW

 

Section 5.01           Requirements of Law.

 

(a)           If any Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment
made to Buyer’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws or other
organizational or governing documents) or any change in the interpretation or
application thereof or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other
Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date

 

22

 

hereof (for the original Buyer) or the date
of Buyer’s acquisition of an interest in the rights under this Agreement (for
any transferee or assignee):

 

(i)            shall impose,
modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or
similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or
for the account of, advances, or other extensions of credit by, or any other
acquisition of funds by, any office of Buyer which is not otherwise included in
the determination of LIBOR hereunder;

 

(ii)           shall impose on
Buyer any other condition;

 

and the result of any of the foregoing is to
increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount which Buyer deems to be material, of
entering, continuing or maintaining any Transaction or to reduce any amount due
or owing hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Sellers shall
promptly pay Buyer such additional amount or amounts as calculated by Buyer in
good faith as will compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount
receivable.

 

(b)           If Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any
change in any Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made
to Buyer’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws or other organizational or
governing documents) regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or
application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer
with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having
the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date
hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such
corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level
below that which Buyer or such corporation could have achieved but for such
adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such
corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by
Buyer to be material, then from time to time, Sellers shall promptly pay to
Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such
reduction.

(a)           All payments made by Sellers under this Agreement shall be

to tax) with respect thereto imposed by any Governmental Authority thereof or
therein, excluding income taxes, branch profits taxes, franchise taxes or any
other tax imposed on the net income by the United States, a state or a foreign
jurisdiction under the laws of which Buyer is organized or of its applicable
lending office, or any political subdivision thereof (collectively, “Non-Excluded
Taxes”), all of which shall be paid by Sellers for their own account not
later than the date when due. If Sellers are required by law or regulation to
deduct or withhold any Non-Excluded Taxes from or in respect of any amount
payable hereunder, they shall: (a) make such deduction or withholding; (b) pay
the amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority
not later than the date when due; (c) deliver to Buyer, promptly,

 

23

 

original tax receipts and other evidence
satisfactory to Buyer of the payment when due of the full amount of such
Non-Excluded Taxes; and (d) pay to Buyer such additional amounts as may be
necessary so that Buyer receives, free and clear of all Non-Excluded Taxes, a
net amount equal to the amount it would have received under this Agreement, as
if no such deduction or withholding had been made.

 

(b)           In addition, each Seller agrees to pay to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future
stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or
similar levies (including, without limitation, mortgage recording taxes,
transfer taxes and similar fees) imposed by the United States or any taxing
authority thereof or therein that arise from any payment made hereunder or from
the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this
Agreement (“Other Taxes”).

 

(c)           Each Seller agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify
Buyer for the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes (including additional amounts
with respect thereto) and Other Taxes, and any liability (including penalties,
interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, provided that Buyer shall have provided
Sellers with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Sellers, of payment of
Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, as the case may be.

 

(d)           If either (i) Buyer is not incorporated under the
laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia or (ii) Buyer’s
name does not include “Incorporated,” “Inc.,” “Corporation,” “Corp.,” “P.C.,” “insurance
company,” or “assurance company” (a “Non-Exempt Buyer”), then Buyer
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Sellers the following properly
completed and duly executed documents:

Certificate and (y) with respect to each of its beneficial owners and the
beneficial owners of such beneficial owners looking through chains of owners to
individuals or entities that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal
income tax purposes (all such owners, “beneficial owners”), the
documents that would be required by clause (1), (2), (3), (4) or this
clause (5) with respect to each such beneficial owner if such beneficial
owner were Buyer, provided, however, that no such documents will be required
with respect to a beneficial owner to the extent Buyer provides the applicable
documentation that it is a qualified intermediary that has accepted withholding
responsibility or is a withholding foreign partnership, as each is defined in
Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.1441-1 through –8.

 

Sellers shall have no obligations under this Section 5.02
if Buyer fails to deliver the required document as set forth in this Section 5.02.
For the purposes of this Section  5.02(d), “U.S. Taxes” shall
mean the tax imposed under Section 871(a) or Section 881 of the
Code or their successor sections.

 

(e)           Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement
of Sellers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Sellers contained in
this Article V shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing
contained in this Section 5.02 shall require a Buyer to make
available any of its tax returns or other information that it deems to be
confidential or proprietary.

 

(f)            Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its
intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes
to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of the related Seller that is secured
by the Purchased Assets

 

25

 

and that the Purchased Assets are owned by
the related Seller in the absence of an Event of Default by such Seller. All
parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action
inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law.

 

ARTICLE VI

Section 6.01           Purchased Items.  Each of the following items or types of
property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter
created and wherever located, is hereinafter referred to as the “Purchased
Items”: all Mortgage Loans, all Mortgage Files, including, without
limitation, all promissory notes, all Mortgage Notes, all Mortgages, all
Servicing Records relating to the Mortgage Loans, all Credit Files, all of
Sellers’ rights as the owners of the Mortgage Loans under any Sub-Servicing
Agreements relating to the Mortgage Loans and any other collateral pledged or
otherwise relating to such Mortgage Loans, together with all files, documents,
instruments, surveys, certificates, correspondence, appraisals, computer
programs, computer storage media, accounting records and other books and
records relating thereto, all mortgage guaranties and insurance (issued by
governmental agencies or otherwise) and any mortgage insurance certificate or

Mortgaged Property, all Income, all Servicing Rights, all servicing fees to
which the Servicer is entitled and servicing and other rights of Sellers
relating to the Mortgage Loans, all Additional Purchased Items, all Interest
Rate Protection Agreements relating to or constituting any and all of the
foregoing (provided, however,
that Buyer’s priority with regard to Interest Rate Protection Agreements is pari passu with those rights of buyers in
Other Financing Facilities; provided
further, however, that Buyer has a first priority interest in all Interest
Rate Protection Agreements which Sellers enter into to hedge specifically, any
Purchased Assets), all of Sellers’ rights as the owner of the Mortgage Loans
under any other agreements or contracts relating to, constituting, or otherwise
governing, any or all of the foregoing to the extent they relate to the
Purchased Assets including the right to receive principal and interest payments
with respect to the Purchased Assets and the right to enforce such payments,
the collection and custodial accounts maintained by the Servicer and all monies
from time to time on deposit in such accounts, the UBS Cash Account and all
monies from time to time on deposit in or credited to the UBS Cash Account, all
contract rights and all “general intangibles”, “accounts”, “chattel paper”, “deposit
accounts” and “investment property” as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code
as in effect from time to time relating to or constituting any and all of the
foregoing, and any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on or
proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.

 

Section 6.02           Security Interest.  Buyer and Sellers intend that the Transactions
hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Assets and not loans from Buyer to
Sellers secured by the Purchased Assets. However, in order to preserve Buyer’s
rights under this Agreement in the event that a court or other forum were to
recharacterize the Transactions hereunder as loans, and in any event (whether
or not such recharacterization ever were to occur) as security for the performance
by Sellers of all of Sellers’ obligations to Buyer hereunder and the
Transactions entered into hereunder (“Repurchase Obligations”) and
Seller-Related Obligations, each Seller hereby assigns, pledges and grants a
first priority security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to
and under the Purchased Items and the Purchased Assets to Buyer to secure the

 

26

 

Repurchase Obligations and Seller-Related
Obligations, including, without limitation, the repayment of all amounts owing
to Buyer hereunder. The assignment, pledge and grant of security interest
contained herein shall be, and each Seller hereby represents and warrants to
Buyer that it is, a first priority perfected security interest. Each Seller
agrees to mark its computer records and tapes to evidence the interests granted
to Buyer hereunder. All Purchased Items shall secure the payment of all
obligations of Sellers now or hereafter existing under this Agreement as well
as Seller-Related Obligations, including, without limitation, Sellers’
obligation to repurchase Purchased Assets, or if such obligation is so
recharacterized as a loan, to repay such loan, for the Repurchase Price and to
pay any and all other amounts owing to Buyer hereunder.

 

Section 6.03           Custodian of Purchased Items.  Pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, Custodian
shall hold the Mortgage Files as exclusive bailee and agent for Buyer pursuant
to the terms of the Custodial Agreement and shall deliver to Buyer Trust Receipts
each to the effect that Custodian has reviewed each Mortgage File in the manner
and to the extent required by the Custodial Agreement and identifying any
deficiencies in each such Mortgage File as so reviewed.

 

Section 6.04           Further Documentation.  At any time and from time to time, upon the
written request of Buyer (which it may make in its sole discretion), and at the
sole expense of Sellers, Sellers will promptly and duly execute and deliver, or
will promptly cause to be executed and delivered, such further instruments and
documents and take such further action as Buyer may reasonably request for the
purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of
the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, the filing
of any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code
in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the Liens created hereby. Each
Seller also hereby authorizes Buyer to file any such financing or continuation
statement without the signature of any Seller to the extent permitted by
applicable law. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement
shall be sufficient as a financing statement for filing in any jurisdiction.

 

Section 6.05           Proceeds.  (a) All
proceeds of Purchased Items received by Sellers consisting of cash, checks and
similar items shall be deposited by Sellers into the collection and custodial
accounts maintained by [TBD] and held in trust, for the benefit of Buyer,
segregated from other funds of Sellers, and shall forthwith upon receipt by
Sellers be turned over to Buyer for allocation by it as provided herein in the
exact form received by Sellers (duly endorsed by Sellers to Buyer) and (b) any
and all such proceeds received by Buyer (whether from Sellers or otherwise)
will be held by Buyer as collateral security for the Repurchase Obligations
(whether matured or unmatured), such application to be in the order of priority
specified in Section 10.02(f). For purposes hereof, proceeds shall
include, but not be limited to, all principal and interest payments, all
prepayments and payoffs, insurance claims, condemnation awards, sale proceeds,
real estate owned rents and any other income and all other amounts received
with respect to the Purchased Items.

 

Any amounts received by Buyer as proceeds in
excess of amounts then due and owing to Buyer shall be applied as contemplated
in Article IV hereof.

 

27

 

ARTICLE VII

PAYMENT, TRANSFER AND CUSTODY

 

Section 7.01           Payments to Buyer.  Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing,
all transfers of funds to be made by Sellers hereunder shall be made in
Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or
counterclaim, to Buyer at the following account maintained by Buyer:

 

	
  BANK:

  	
  The Bank of New York

  
	
  ABA:

  	
  021000018

  
	
  For credit to:

  	
  890-0653-000

  
	
  Account Name:

  	
  THE BANK OF NEW YORK AS COLL AGT FOR UBS
  REAL ESTATE SECURITIES INC.

  
	
  Details of Payment:

  	
  Seller Name/Loan Number

  

 

not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the date on which such payment shall become due (and each such payment
made after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding
Business Day). Each Seller acknowledges that it has no rights of withdrawal
from the foregoing account.

 

Section 7.02           Ownership of Purchased Assets.

 

(a)           On the Purchase Date for each Transaction, ownership of
the Purchased Assets shall be transferred to Buyer or its designee (including
Custodian) against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price as set forth
in the Custodial Agreement not later than 6:00 p.m., New York City time,
simultaneously with the delivery to Custodian of the Purchased Assets (other
than the related Mortgage Files for each Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan, which shall be
delivered no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day following the Purchase
Date) relating to each Transaction. Each Seller hereby sells, transfers,
conveys and assigns to Buyer or its designee (including Custodian) all the
right, title and interest of the related Seller in and to the Purchased Assets
together with all right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of any
related Purchased Items. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Section 2.06(g) shall
govern Rollover Transactions and shall apply in respect of any inconsistency
between such provisions and the foregoing, and it is understood that no new or
additional deliveries or redeliveries to the Custodian shall be required in
connection with such Rollover Transactions (provided
that this sentence shall not relieve Sellers of any obligation to comply with
any unsatisfied or supplemental delivery obligations that otherwise may exist
in respect of Restatement Closing Date Mortgage Loans).

 

(b)           In connection with such sale, transfer, conveyance and
assignment, in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Custodial
Agreement, and subject to the last sentence of subsection (a) of this Section 7.02
above, Sellers shall deliver or cause to be delivered and released to Buyer or
its designee (including Custodian) (i) the Custodial Identification
Certificate and (ii) the documents identified in the Custodial Agreement.

 

28

 

(c)           Any Mortgage Files not delivered to Buyer or its designee
(including Custodian) are and shall be held in trust by the related Seller or
its designee for the benefit of Buyer as the owner thereof. Each Seller or its
designee shall maintain a copy of the Mortgage File and the originals of the
Mortgage File not delivered to Buyer or its designee (including Custodian). The
possession of the Mortgage File by a Seller or its designee is at the will of
Buyer for the sole purpose of servicing the related Purchased Asset, and such
retention and possession by such Seller or its designee is in a custodial
capacity only. Each Mortgage File retained or held by a Seller or its designee
shall be segregated on such Seller’s books and records from the other assets of
such Seller or its designee and the books and records of such Seller shall be
marked appropriately to reflect clearly the sale of the related Purchased Asset
to Buyer. Each Seller or its designee shall release its custody of the Mortgage
File only in accordance with written instructions from Buyer, unless such
release is required as incidental to the servicing of the Purchased Assets or
is in connection with a repurchase of any Purchased Asset by such Seller.

 

Section 7.03           Hypothecation or Pledge of
Purchased Assets.  Title to all
Purchased Assets and Purchased Items shall pass to Buyer and Buyer shall have
free and unrestricted use of all Purchased Assets and Purchased Items, subject
to Sellers’ right to repurchase the Purchased Assets upon payment of the
Repurchase Price and any other amounts due hereunder with respect thereto.
Buyer may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of Sellers, engage in
repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets or otherwise pledge,
repledge, transfer, hypothecate, rehypothecate, or assign all of its right,
title and interest or grant a security interest in any Purchased Assets sold by
Sellers hereunder and all rights of Buyer under this Agreement, the Electronic
Tracking Agreement and/or the Custodial Agreement, in respect of such Purchased
Assets to Assignee. It is anticipated that such assignment to Assignee will be
made by Buyer, and each Seller hereby irrevocably consents to such assignment.
No notice of such assignment shall be given by Buyer to Sellers. Nothing
contained in this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Purchased
Assets delivered to Buyer by Sellers. In the event Buyer engages in a
repurchase transaction with any of the Purchased Assets or otherwise pledges or
hypothecates any of the Purchased Assets, Buyer shall have the right to assign
to Buyer’s counterparty any of the applicable representations or warranties in
Schedule 1 to this Agreement and the remedies for breach thereof, as they
relate to the Purchased Assets that are subject to such repurchase transaction.

 

Section 7.04           UBS Cash Account.

 

(a)           Sellers hereby authorize and direct Buyer to create the
UBS Cash Account. The UBS Cash Account shall be maintained by Buyer subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Buyer shall notify Sellers, via
electronic or facsimile transmission, of the UBS Cash Account Balance on each
Business Day on which a Transaction occurs hereunder. Buyer’s provision to
Sellers of a computer link or similar electronic access to a website, database
or analogous electronic data file or presentation that contains such
information shall be deemed to constitute compliance by Buyer with the
notification requirement of the preceding sentence.

 

(b)           Buyer shall credit the UBS Cash Account for (i) any
deposits therein by a Seller upon such Seller’s written direction pursuant to a
Withdrawal/Deposit Notice; (ii)

 

29

 

any Supplemental Amount for any Mortgage Loan
upon the refunding to Buyer of the Disbursement Amount for such Mortgage Loan
by the Settlement Agent upon any failure to apply the Disbursement Amount in
connection with the proposed funding of a Mortgage Loan; (iii) any credit
pursuant to a UBS Cash Account Adjustment; and (iv) any UBS Cash Account
Interest Accruals.

 

(c)           Buyer shall debit the UBS Cash Account (but in no event
shall such debit result in a UBS Cash Account Balance of less than zero) for (i) any
withdrawals therefrom by a Seller upon such Seller’s written direction pursuant
to a Withdrawal/Deposit Notice (provided,
that no such withdrawals by a Seller shall be permitted on and after the
Restatement Closing Date); (ii) in Buyer’s discretion, any amounts
(including fees, expenses or indemnity amounts) due Buyer and payable by
Sellers under any Repurchase Document; (iii) the Supplemental Amount for
any Mortgage Loan upon payment of the Disbursement Amount for such Mortgage
Loan to Settlement Agent; and (iv) any debit pursuant to a UBS Cash
Account Adjustment.

 

(d)           So long as an Event of Default shall not have occurred and
be continuing hereunder, Buyer agrees to debit the UBS Cash Account pursuant to
a UBS Cash Account Adjustment in the event that available Income that shall be
applied for such purpose pursuant to the terms hereof, plus any additional
amounts paid by Seller to Buyer for such purpose, shall be insufficient to pay
the Repurchase Price for any terminating Transaction (net of any Purchase Price
owed by Buyer for any new Transaction) when such amounts become due and payable
hereunder, with such debit to be in the amount of such insufficiency. Seller’s
entitlement to such debit, to the extent sufficient UBS Cash Account Balance is
available in respect thereof, shall be treated as satisfaction of a
corresponding amount of Repurchase Price payable by Seller when due hereunder.

 

(e)           Upon termination of this Agreement and payment in full of
all obligations owing by Sellers hereunder and under the Repurchase Documents,
Buyer shall remit to Sellers the UBS Cash Account Balance.

 

(f)            Each Seller hereby confirms and agrees that to secure
Sellers’ obligations under this Agreement, it hereby grants to Buyer a first
priority continuing security interest in and to the UBS Cash Account and all
proceeds (as defined in the UCC) of such account. Each Seller further agrees
that Buyer may issue “entitlement orders” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(8) of
the UCC) or other instructions from Buyer, including, without limitation,
directing the transfer or redemption of any financial asset credited to, or the
disposition of funds held in, the UBS Cash Account for application against any
obligations in such order as Buyer shall determine in its sole discretion. It
is hereby acknowledged and agreed that Buyer is exercising exclusive control
over the UBS Cash Account.

 

Section 7.05           Takeout Commitments.  In connection with any sales by Sellers of Mortgage
Loans pursuant to Takeout Commitments, in connection with the formation of a
mortgage pool supporting a mortgage-backed security, or otherwise, Sellers
shall cause there to be remitted to Buyer, on the date of such sale, the entire
principal balance, interest and premium portion of the purchase price paid by
the buyers under such Takeout Commitments or otherwise

 

30

 

so generated by the sale, which shall be paid
directly by such buyer to Buyer. Buyer shall credit to the UBS Cash Account as
an increase in the UBS Cash Account Balance, any excess in the amount so
received over the amount then due Buyer, and shall release its right, interest
and title in such Mortgage Loans and the outstanding principal balance of the
Mortgage Loan(s) shall be adjusted accordingly.

 

ARTICLE VIII

SELLERS’ REPRESENTATIONS

 

Each Seller
represents and warrants to Buyer that as of each Purchase Date for the purchase
of any Purchased Assets by Buyer from Sellers and as of the date of this
Agreement and any Transaction hereunder and at all times while the Repurchase
Documents and any Transaction hereunder is in full force and effect (and in
each case subject to matters described and addressed in a certain letter
agreement among the parties executed as of the Restatement Closing Date):

 

Section 8.01           Nature of Transfers.  Neither the Repurchase Documents nor any
Transaction thereunder are entered into in contemplation of insolvency or with
intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of Sellers’ creditors. The transfer of
the Mortgage Loans subject hereto and the obligation to repurchase such
Mortgage Loans is not undertaken with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud
any of Sellers’ creditors.

 

Section 8.02           No Broker.  No
Seller has dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent, or other person,
except for Buyer, who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in
connection with the sale of Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement.

 

Section 8.03           Ability to Perform.  No Seller believes, nor does it have any
reason or cause to believe, that it cannot perform each and every covenant
contained in the Repurchase Documents applicable to it to which it is a party.

 

Section 8.04           No Defaults.  Except as described and addressed in a certain
letter agreement among the parties executed as of the Restatement Closing Date,
no Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder and no Event of Default has
occurred hereunder.

 

Section 8.05           Legal Name; Existence.  The legal name of each Seller is as set forth
in the signature line of this Agreement. All names of each Seller since its
incorporation and all trade names, fictitious names, assumed names or “doing
business as” names that each Seller has used are as set forth in Schedule 3 to
this Agreement; and each of the Sellers (a) is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization; (b) has all requisite corporate or other
power, and has all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and
approvals necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or
as proposed to be conducted, except where the lack of such licenses,
authorizations, consents and approvals would not be reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect; and (c) is qualified to do business and is in
good standing in all other jurisdictions in which the nature of the business
conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except where failure so to
qualify would not be reasonably likely (either individually or in the
aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

31

 

Section 8.06           Financial
Condition.  Each Seller has
heretofore furnished to Buyer a copy of the most recent financial statements of
each Seller. All such financial statements are complete and correct and fairly
present, in all material respects, the financial condition of each Seller, and
the results of their respective operations as at the dates and for such periods
as are referenced therein, all in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent
basis. Since the date of such financial statements no Material Adverse Effect
has occurred with respect to the business, operations or financial condition of
any Seller taken as a whole from that set forth in the applicable financial
statements.

 

Section 8.07           Litigation.
 Other than as disclosed on Schedule 5
hereto, there are no actions, suits, arbitrations, investigations (including,
without limitation, to the best of Sellers’ knowledge, any of the foregoing
which are pending or threatened) or other legal or arbitral proceedings
(individually and collectively, whether pending or threatened, “Disputes”)
affecting any Seller or any of their respective Subsidiaries or affecting any
of their Property before any Governmental Authority that question or challenge
the validity or enforceability of any of the Repurchase Documents or any action
to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (in the
event any Seller is a publicly held company) which requires filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with the 1934 Act or any rules thereunder.
In addition, there is no Dispute affecting any Seller that (i) is of a
kind not referred to in the preceding sentence; (ii) has arisen other than
in the ordinary course of business of such Seller and is reasonably likely to
be determined adversely to such Seller; and (iii) if so determined, would
be reasonably likely, either individually or together with any other Dispute
covered by clauses (i) through (ii) of this sentence, to have a
Material Adverse Effect on the ability of any such Subsidiary to perform any of
its obligations under any of the Repurchase Documents. Neither Sellers nor any
of their respective Subsidiaries are (i) in violation of any applicable
law which violation materially, adversely affects or may reasonably be expected
to materially, adversely affect the business, operations, properties, assets or
condition (financial or otherwise) of any Seller or such Subsidiary, or (ii) subject
to or in default with respect to any final judgment, writ, injunction, decree, rule or
regulation of any court or federal, state, municipal or other governmental
department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or
foreign, which would have a Material Adverse Effect on the business,
operations, properties, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of any
Seller or such Subsidiary.

 

Section 8.08           No
Breach.  Neither (a) the
execution and delivery of the Repurchase Documents nor (b) the
consummation of the transactions therein contemplated in compliance with the
terms and provisions thereof will (i) conflict with or result in a breach
of the charter or by-laws of any Seller, or any applicable law, rule or
regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental
Authority, or any Sub-Servicing Agreement or other material agreement or
instrument to which any Seller, or any of their Subsidiaries is a party or by
which any of them or any of their Property is bound or to which any of them is
subject; (ii) constitute a default under any such material agreement or
instrument or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any
Property of a Seller, or any of their Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any
such agreement or instrument; or (iii) constitute an event of default or
an event which, solely with the passage of time and which is not amenable to
cure, would constitute an event of default under (x) any other Financing
Facilities or (y) any other agreement, the breach of which would likely
have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

32

 

Section 8.09           Action.
 Each Seller has all necessary corporate
or other power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations under each of the Repurchase Documents; the execution, delivery and
performance by each Seller of each of the Repurchase Documents have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate or other action on its part; and each
Repurchase Document has been duly and validly executed and delivered by each
Seller, as applicable and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of
such Seller, as applicable enforceable against such party in accordance with
its terms, subject as to enforceability to applicable bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’
rights generally and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether
enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 

Section 8.10           Approvals.
 No authorizations, approvals or consents
of, and no filings or registrations with any Governmental Authority or any
securities exchange are necessary for the execution, delivery or performance by
Sellers of the Repurchase Documents or for the legality, validity or
enforceability thereof, including, without limitation, any approvals or
consents from the Office of Thrift Supervision, the National Credit Union
Administration, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or other federal
agency, except for filings and recordings in respect of the Liens created
pursuant to the Repurchase Documents. The transfers, assignments and
conveyances provided for herein and therein are not subject to the bulk
transfer or any similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable
jurisdiction.

 

Section 8.11           Margin
Regulations.  Neither any Transaction
hereunder, nor the use of the proceeds thereof, will violate or be inconsistent
with the provisions of Regulation T, U or X.

 

Section 8.12           Taxes.
 Each Seller and its respective
Subsidiaries have filed all Federal income tax returns and all other material
tax returns that are required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes due
pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by it or its
Subsidiaries, except for any such taxes as are being appropriately contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to
which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP. The
charges, accruals and reserves on the books of each Seller and its Subsidiaries
in respect of taxes and other governmental charges are, in the opinion of such
Seller, adequate.

 

Section 8.13           Investment
Company Act and Holding Company Compliance.  None of the Sellers nor any of their
Subsidiaries is (a) an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by
an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, or (b) is a “holding company” as defined in, or subject
to recognition under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.

 

Section 8.14           Purchased
Assets.

 

(a)           No
Seller has assigned, pledged, or otherwise conveyed or encumbered any Mortgage
Loan or any Purchased Items to any other Person, and immediately prior to the
sale of such Mortgage Loan or any other Purchased Items to Buyer, the related
Seller was the sole owner of such Mortgage Loan or such other Purchased Items
and had good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of all Liens, in each
case except for Liens to

 

33

 

be released simultaneously with the sale to Buyer
hereunder. In no event has any Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan been subject to a prior
Lien;

 

(b)           The
provisions of this Agreement are effective to either constitute a sale of
Purchased Items to Buyer or to create in favor of Buyer a valid security
interest in all right, title and interest of Sellers in, to and under the
Purchased Items;

 

(c)           Upon
receipt by Custodian of each Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank in accordance
with the provisions of the Custodial Agreement, either a purchase shall have
been completed by Buyer of such Mortgage Note on or prior to such date or Buyer
shall have a valid and fully perfected first priority security interest in such
Mortgage Note and in such Seller’s interest in the related Mortgaged Property;

 

(d)           Upon
the filing of financing statements on Form UCC-1 naming Buyer as “Secured
Party”, each Seller as a “Debtor” and describing the Purchased Items, in the
jurisdictions and recording offices listed on Exhibit IV attached hereto,
the security interests granted hereunder in the Purchased Items will constitute
fully perfected security interests under the Uniform Commercial Code in all
right, title and interest of Sellers in, to and under such Purchased Items,
which can be perfected by filing under the Uniform Commercial Code;

 

(e)           Upon
execution and delivery of the Repurchase Documents, Buyer shall either be the
owner of, or have a valid and fully perfected first priority security interest
in, all funds in the collection and custodial accounts.

Offices.  The chief executive offices

Purchased Items, are its respective chief executive offices.

 

Section 8.17           Other Financing Facilities.  No defaults or events of default exist under
any Other Financing Facilities. No additional Other Financing Facilities have
been entered into on or after the Restatement Closing Date without the prior
consent of Buyer (not to be unreasonably withheld).

 

Section 8.18           True and Complete Disclosure.  The information, reports, financial
statements, exhibits and schedules furnished in writing by or on behalf of
Sellers as applicable to Buyer in connection with the negotiation, preparation
or delivery of this Agreement and the other Repurchase Documents or included
herein or therein or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, do not and will not
contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material
fact necessary to make the statements herein or therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. All written

therein and each Seller shall defend the right, title, and interest of Buyer
and its respective successors and assigns in, to, and under the Purchased
Assets, against all claims of third parties claiming, through or under Sellers;
provided, however, that nothing
in this Section shall prevent or be deemed to prohibit Sellers from
suffering to exist upon any of the Purchased Assets any Liens for municipal or
other local taxes if such taxes shall not at the time be due and payable or if
Sellers shall concurrently be contesting the validity thereof in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves
with respect thereto and such contests pose no risk of forfeiture.

 

Section 9.35           Notification
of Breach.  Each Seller will notify
Buyer and the Custodian promptly, in reasonable detail, upon discovery of the

other rights covered by this Agreement, as Buyer or Custodian may request and
reasonably require.

authority.

 

Section 9.39           No
Agency.  No Seller will act as an

Section 9.41           No
Other Financing Facilities.  No

acceleration of the maturity of obligations for borrowed money, or, in the case
of any swap agreement or other contract, permits its early termination,
close-out or liquidation, by any other party to or beneficiary of such
obligation for borrowed money, swap agreement or other contract, in any case if
the aggregate amount of the obligations accelerated or capable of being
accelerated or due or that may become due as a result of the occurrence of such
default, early termination, close-out or liquidation on any date under any one
or more of such obligation for borrowed money, swap agreement or other contract
exceeds (in the aggregate) (x) $500,000 with respect to clause (i) and/or
(y) $3,000,000 with respect to clause (ii); or

 

(l)            [Reserved];
or

 

(m)          a
Change in Control of any Seller, an execution of a binding commitment letter or
similar agreement in anticipation of a Change of Control or a material change
in the Executives of any Seller resulting in inadequate management capability
(as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion) shall have occurred which has

(q)           [Reserved]; or

 

(r)            the occurrence under the Platform Servicing Agreement, if ever any, of

whether with the giving of notice, lapse of time, or both, would entitle the
beneficiary of such Platform Servicing Agreement to terminate or replace the
existing servicer as servicer thereunder, provided that such servicer is the
Servicer or an affiliate thereof) taking into account any applicable cure
period thereunder; or

 

(s)           any Seller shall commit any fraud or malfeasance in connection with this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

Section 10.02         Remedies Upon Default.  If an Event of Default occurs, the following
rights and remedies are available to Buyer; provided
that an Event of Default shall be deemed to be continuing unless
expressly waived by Buyer in writing.

 

(a)           Each Seller hereby acknowledges, admits and agrees that Sellers’
obligations under this Agreement are joint and several recourse obligations of
Sellers to which each Seller pledges its full faith and credit. In addition to
its rights hereunder, Buyer shall have the right to proceed against any of
Sellers’ assets (including, but not limited to, the UBS Cash Account) which may
be in the possession of Buyer, any of Buyer’s Affiliates or any of Buyer’s
designee(s) (including Custodian), including the right to liquidate such
assets and to set-off the proceeds against monies owed by Sellers to Buyer
pursuant to this Agreement. Buyer may set off cash, the proceeds of the
liquidation of the Purchased Assets and Additional Purchased Assets, any other
Purchased Items or its proceeds and all other sums or obligations owed by Buyer
to

 

49

 

Sellers against all of Sellers’ obligations to Buyer,
whether under this Agreement, under a Transaction, or under any other agreement
between the parties, or otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then
due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency.

 

(b)           At
the option of Buyer, exercised by written notice to Sellers (which option shall
be deemed to have been exercised, even if no notice is given, immediately upon
the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency of any Seller), the Final Repurchase Date
for each Transaction hereunder, if it has not already occurred, shall be deemed
immediately to occur.

 

(c)           If
Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in
paragraph (b) of this Section 10.02,

 

(i)              Sellers’ obligations in such Transactions to repurchase
all Purchased Assets, at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Final Repurchase
Date, (1) shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (2) all
Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise, including, without limitation,
all amounts in respect thereof then or thereafter held in any collection or
custodial accounts maintained by the Servicer on behalf of Buyer, shall be
retained by Buyer and applied to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any
other amounts owed by Sellers hereunder, and (3) Sellers shall immediately
deliver to Buyer any Purchased Assets subject to such Transactions then in
Sellers’ possession or control;

 

(ii)             to the extent permitted by applicable law, the
Repurchase Price with respect to each such Transaction shall be increased by
the aggregate amount obtained by daily application of, on a 360 day per year
basis for the actual number of days during the period from and including the
date of the exercise or deemed exercise of such option to but excluding the
date of payment of the Repurchase Price, (x) the Post-Default Rate to (y) the
Repurchase Price for such Transaction as of the Final Repurchase Date
(decreased as of any day by (i) any amounts actually in the possession of
Buyer pursuant to clause (c) of this subsection, (ii) any proceeds
from the sale of Purchased Assets applied to the Repurchase Price pursuant to
subsection (d) of this Section 10.02, and (iii) any
amounts applied to the Repurchase Price pursuant to subsection (e) of this
Section 10.02); and

 

(iii)            all Income actually received by Buyer pursuant to Section 4.01
(excluding any Late Payment Fees paid pursuant to Section 2.06(g)),
including, without limitation, all amounts then or thereafter held in the
collection and custodial accounts maintained by the Servicer shall be applied
to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and other obligations owed by Sellers
(in the order of, first, unpaid fee, expense and indemnity obligations then
payable, then to accrued Price Differential, and then to outstanding Purchase
Price).

 

(d)           Upon
the occurrence of one or more Events of Default, Buyer shall have the right to
obtain physical possession of the Servicing Records (subject to the provisions

 

50

 

of the Custodial Agreement), Mortgage Files, Credit Files
and all other files of Sellers relating to the Purchased Assets and all
documents relating to the Purchased Assets which are then or may thereafter
come into the possession of Sellers or any third party acting for Sellers and
Sellers shall deliver to Buyer such assignments as Buyer shall request and,
subject to any existing servicing agreements, Buyer shall have the right to
appoint any Person to service the Purchased Assets. Buyer shall be entitled (i) to
invoke any and all rights it may have under any Repurchase Document with
respect to any amounts then or thereafter held in the collection and custodial
accounts maintained by the Servicer and (ii) to specific performance of
all agreements of Sellers contained in the Repurchase Documents.

 

(e)           All
amounts then or thereafter held in the collection and custodial accounts
maintained by Servicer shall be retained by Buyer and applied to the aggregate
unpaid Repurchase Price owed by Sellers and to any other amounts owing by
Sellers hereunder or under the Custodial Agreement.

 

(f)            At
any time on or after the Business Day following the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Buyer may (A) immediately sell, on a servicing-released basis,
without demand or further notice of any kind, at a public or private sale and
at such price or prices as Buyer may deem satisfactory, any or all Purchased
Assets and Purchased Items and apply the proceeds thereof to the aggregate
unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Sellers under the
Repurchase Documents or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of
selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets and Purchased Items, to give
Sellers credit for such Purchased Assets and Purchased Items in an amount equal
to the fair market value of the Purchased Assets and Purchased Items (as
determined by Buyer in its sole discretion, acting in good faith) against the
aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Sellers under
the Repurchase Documents. The Sellers acknowledge that at the time of Buyer’s
determination of such market value pursuant to clause (B) above, no
established or currently operating active market for the Purchased Assets or
Purchased Items may then exist. Sellers shall remain jointly and severally
liable to Buyer for any aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and other amounts
that remain owing and unpaid to Buyer following a sale or credit under the
foregoing provisions. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets (or
crediting of amounts, in the case of clause (B) above) shall be applied
first, to the costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Sellers’
default; second, to the Repurchase Price; third, after an Event of Default, to
costs of related covering and/or related hedging transactions; and fourth, to
any other outstanding obligation of Sellers to Buyer or any of its Affiliates.

 

(g)           Neither
Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall incur any liability as a result of the
sale of any of the Purchased Items at any private sale. Each Seller hereby
waives (a) any claims against Buyer or any of its Affiliates arising
because the price at which the Purchased Items may have been sold at a private
sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or
was less than the aggregate amount of the Repurchase Obligations, even if Buyer
accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Purchased Items to more
than one offeree and (b) all rights of redemption, stay, or

 

51

 

appraisal which it has under any rule of law or (to
the extent permitted) statute whether now existing or hereafter adopted.

 

(h)           The
parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the
Purchased Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the
same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased
Assets may not be liquid. In view of the nature of the Purchased Assets, the
parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or the underlying Purchased
Assets does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private
purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable
manner. Accordingly, Buyer may elect the time and manner of liquidating any
Purchased Assets and nothing contained herein shall obligate Buyer to liquidate
any Purchased Assets on the occurrence of an Event of Default or to liquidate
all Purchased Assets in the same manner or on the same Business Day or
constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the parties to this Agreement agree that the Transactions have been
entered into in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that all
Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual obligation
and that each Transaction has been entered into in consideration of the other
Transactions.

 

(i)            Sellers
agree that Buyer may obtain an injunction or an order of specific performance
to compel Sellers to fulfill their obligations as set forth in Section 10.02(d),
if a Seller fails or refuses to perform its obligations as set forth therein.

 

(j)            Sellers
shall be jointly and severally liable to Buyer, payable as and when incurred by
Buyer, for (A) the amount of all actual reasonable out-of-pocket expenses,
including legal or other expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a
consequence of an Event of Default and (B) after an Event of Default, all
costs incurred in connection with covering and/or hedging transactions.

 

(k)           Each
Seller agrees to indemnify (jointly and severally with the other Sellers) and
hold Buyer and its assignees harmless for and against all Costs (as hereinafter
defined) resulting from or relating to any Event of Default.

 

(l)            Buyer
shall, without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Repurchase
Obligations, be entitled to the appointment of a receiver by any court having
jurisdiction, without notice, to take possession of and protect, collect,
manage, liquidate, and sell the Purchased Assets and any other Purchased Items
or any portion thereof, collect the payments due with respect to the Purchased
Assets and any other Purchased Items or any portion thereof, and do anything
that Buyer is authorized hereunder to do. Sellers shall pay, jointly and
severally, all costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the
appointment and activities of such receiver.

 

(m)          Buyer
may, at its option, enter into one or more hedge instruments covering all or a
portion of the Purchased Assets, and Sellers shall be responsible, jointly and
severally, for all damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind which may
be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Buyer relating to or arising out
of such hedge

 

52

 

instruments; including without limitation any losses
resulting from such hedge instruments.

 

(n)           No
election by Buyer pursuant to this Section shall relieve Sellers of
responsibility or liability for any breach of or under this Agreement.

 

(o)           Buyer
shall have, in addition to its rights hereunder, any rights otherwise available
to it under any other agreement or applicable law, whether existing at law, in
equity or by statute, including, without limitation, all rights and remedies
available to a purchaser/secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code.

 

(p)           Except
as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right
to exercise any of its rights and/or remedies without presentment, demand,
protest or further notice of any kind other than as expressly set forth herein,
all of which are hereby expressly waived by Sellers.

 

Section 10.03         Remedies
Cumulative.  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 paragraphs (a) and
(d) of Section 10.02, at any time thereafter without notice to
Sellers. 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.

 

Section 10.04         Waiver
of Defenses.  Buyer may enforce its
rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and
Sellers hereby expressly waive any defenses Sellers might otherwise have to
require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Sellers also waive any
defense (other than a defense of payment or performance) Sellers might
otherwise have arising from the use of non-judicial process, enforcement and
sale of all or any portion of the Purchased Items, or from any other election
of remedies. Sellers recognize that non-judicial remedies are consistent with
the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the
result of a bargain at arm’s-length.

 

Section 10.05         Default
Interest.  To the extent permitted by
applicable law, Sellers shall be liable, jointly and severally, to Buyer for
interest on any amounts owing by Sellers hereunder, from the date any Seller
becomes liable for such amounts hereunder until such amounts are (i) paid
in full by Sellers or (ii) satisfied in full by the exercise of Buyer’s
rights hereunder. Interest on any sum payable by Sellers to Buyer under this Section 10.05
shall be at a rate equal to the Post-Default Rate.

 

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 11.01         Indemnification.

 

(a)           Sellers
agree, jointly and severally, to hold Buyer and its Affiliates and their
present and former respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors
and other representatives (each, an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from
and indemnify any Indemnified Party against all liabilities, losses, damages,
judgments, costs and expenses

 

53

 

of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against such Indemnified Party (including reasonable counsel’s fees
and disbursements) (collectively, “Costs”), relating to or arising out
of a third-party claim involving this Agreement, any other Repurchase Document
or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, or any breach or inaccuracy
of any representation or warranty, or noncompliance with any covenant under,
this Agreement or any other Repurchase Document, or relating to or arising in
respect of any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or
consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, any other Repurchase Document
or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Seller agrees to hold any Indemnified Party
harmless from and indemnify such Indemnified Party against all Costs with
respect to all Mortgage Loans relating to or arising out of any violation or
alleged violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation, any
consumer credit laws, including, without limitation, the federal Truth in
Lending Act and/or the federal Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, or any
applicable securities laws. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by an
Indemnified Party in connection with any Mortgage Loan for any sum owing
thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Mortgage Loan, Sellers, jointly
and severally, will save, indemnify and hold such Indemnified Party harmless
from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense,
set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the
account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by any Seller of
any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness
or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor
or its successors from any Seller.

 

(b)           Sellers
also agree, jointly and severally, to reimburse an Indemnified Party as and
when billed by such Indemnified Party for all the Indemnified Party’s costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of
Buyer’s rights under this Agreement, any other Repurchase Document or any
transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel. Sellers may offer to assume
the defense of any action brought against any Indemnified Party, provided that
the counsel proposed to handle the defense be satisfactory to such Indemnified
Party in its sole discretion. If the Indemnified Party agrees to such an
arrangement, then Sellers will not be liable for any separate counsel for such
Indemnified Party. In no event will an Indemnified Party be liable for a
settlement effected without its prior consent.

 

(c)           Sellers
agree, jointly and severally, to pay on demand all of the reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) (i) incurred by Buyer
in connection with any amendment, supplement or modification to, this
Agreement, any other Repurchase Document or any other documents prepared in
connection therewith, and (ii) all costs and expenses of Buyer in
connection with the enforcement of this Agreement (including any waivers) or
any other Repurchase Document, whether in any action, suit or litigation, any
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights
generally (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel for Buyer) whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.12,
Sellers agree, jointly and severally, to pay Buyer all reasonable out of pocket
due diligence, inspection, testing

 

54

 

and review costs and expenses incurred by Buyer with
respect to Mortgage Loans submitted by Sellers for purchase under this
Agreement, including, but not limited to, those reasonable out of pocket costs
and expenses incurred by Buyer pursuant to Sections 11.10 and 11.12.

 

(d)           Without
prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Sellers hereunder, the covenants
and obligations of Sellers contained in this Section shall survive the
payment in full of the Repurchase Price and all other amounts payable hereunder
and delivery of the Purchased Assets by Buyer against full payment therefor.
THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF SELLERS PURSUANT TO THE PRECEDING PARAGRAPHS
SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF ANY NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER FAULT (EXCLUDING GROSS
NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT) ON THE PART OF BUYER, THE SERVICER, THE
CUSTODIAN OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS EMPLOYEES, TRUSTEES OR AGENTS
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED.

 

Section 11.02         Single
Agreement.

 

Buyer and Sellers acknowledge that, and have entered
hereinto and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and
in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single
business and contractual relationship and that each has been entered into in
consideration of the other Transactions. Accordingly, Buyer and Sellers agree (i) to
perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and
that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a
default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder; (ii) that each of
them shall be entitled to set off claims and apply property held by them in respect
of any Transaction against obligations owing to them in respect of any other
Transaction hereunder; (iii) that payments, deliveries, and other
transfers made by either of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed
to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries, and other transfers
in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any
such payments, deliveries, and other transfers may be applied against each
other and netted; and (iv) to promptly provide notice to the other after
any such set-off or application.

 

Section 11.03         Notices
and Other Communications.

 

Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement,
all notices, requests and other communications provided for herein and under
the Custodial Agreement (including, without limitation, any modifications of,
or waivers, requests or consents under, this Agreement) shall be given or made
in writing (including, without limitation, by email, telex or telecopy)
delivered to the intended recipient at the “Address for Notices” specified
below its name on the signature pages hereof or thereof); or, as to any
party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written
notice to each other party. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and
except for notices given under Section 3.01 (which shall be
effective only on receipt), all such communications shall be deemed to have
been duly given when transmitted by telecopy or personally delivered or, in the
case of a mailed notice, upon receipt. Any notices, requests or other
communications delivered to any Seller pursuant to this Section shall be
deemed delivered to all Sellers.

 

55

 

Section 11.04         Entire Agreement; Severability.

 

This Agreement together with the other Repurchase
Documents constitute the entire understanding between Buyer and Sellers with
respect to the subject matter it covers and shall supersede any existing
agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for
repurchase transactions involving Purchased Assets. By acceptance of this
Agreement, Buyer and Sellers acknowledge that they have not made, and are not
relying upon, any statements, representations, promises or undertakings not
contained in this Agreement. 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.

 

Section 11.05         Non-Assignability.

 

The rights and obligations of the parties under this
Agreement and under any Transaction shall not be assigned by Sellers without
the prior written consent of Buyer, and any attempted assignment without such
consent shall be null and void. Buyer, in its sole discretion, may at any time
assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and
the Repurchase Documents. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and any
Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
parties and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement,
express or implied, shall give to any person, other than the parties to this
Agreement and their successors hereunder, any benefit of any legal or equitable
right, power, remedy or claim under this Agreement.

 

Section 11.06         Terminability.

 

This Agreement shall continue in effect until terminated
as to future transactions by written instruction signed by Buyer and delivered
to Sellers, provided that no termination will affect the obligations hereunder
as to any outstanding Transaction. Each representation and warranty made or
deemed to be made by entering into a Transaction, herein or pursuant hereto shall
survive the making of such representation and warranty, and Buyer shall not be
deemed to have waived any Default that may arise because any such
representation or warranty shall have proved to be false or misleading,
notwithstanding that Buyer may have had notice or knowledge or reason to
believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the
time the Transaction was made. Notwithstanding any such termination or the
occurrence of an Event of Default, all of the representations and warranties
and covenants hereunder shall continue and survive. The obligations of Sellers
under Section 11.01 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 11.07         GOVERNING LAW.

 

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT
REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES.

APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF;

 

(b)             CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY

(c)             AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN
ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY

OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH BUYER SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED;

 

(d)             AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL
AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY
LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO SUE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION; AND

 

(e)             WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER REPURCHASE
DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

 

Section 11.09         No
Waivers, Etc.

 

No failure on the part of Buyer to exercise and no delay
in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or
privilege under any Repurchase Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any
Repurchase Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein
are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. An Event of
Default shall be deemed to be continuing unless expressly waived by Buyer in
writing.

 

57

 

Section 11.10         Servicing.

 

(a)           It is
expressly acknowledged that the Servicing Rights relating to the Mortgage Loans
purchased by Buyer hereunder have been sold, assigned, and transferred by
Sellers to Buyer along with the Mortgage Loans, and that as of the Restatement
Closing Date, such Servicing Rights are being exercised under the control of
the Buyer through the Buyer’s servicing arrangements with the Platform.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may in its sole discretion, whether
following a sale of the Platform to IMH or an affiliate thereof or otherwise
(and regardless of whether or not such a sale shall occur), by delivery of
reasonable prior written notice to Servicer, delegate to Servicer as a
subservicer of Buyer in respect of Buyer’s Servicing Rights, all or a portion
of the responsibilities in respect of servicing and administering (or shall
effect such delegation to a Sub-Servicer engaged by Servicer and approved by
Buyer, if applicable, to service and administer, pursuant to the applicable
Sub-Servicing Agreement) the Mortgage Loans on behalf of Buyer on an interim
basis in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices for the same type of
mortgage loans as the Mortgage Loans and in a manner at least equal in quality
to the servicing Servicer provides for mortgage loans which it owns for its own
account, provided that Servicer
shall at all times comply with applicable law and the requirements of any
applicable insurer or guarantor so that the insurance and any applicable
guarantee in respect of any Mortgage Loan is not voided or reduced, and provided further, that unless otherwise
agreed by Seller, Servicer shall comply with the same servicing obligations and
standards that apply to mortgage loans serviced pursuant to the Platform
Servicing Agreement, if ever any. Unless the context shall otherwise require or
as otherwise expressly stated, the covenants and undertakings of the Servicer
under this Section 11.10 shall apply to the Servicer only if Buyer has
delegated servicing responsibilities to the Servicer as described above.

 

(b)           Servicer
shall at all times maintain accurate and complete records of its servicing of
the Mortgage Loans, and Buyer may, at any time during Servicer’s business
hours, on reasonable notice, examine and make copies of such records. On the
second (2nd) Business Day of each calendar month, or at any other time upon
Buyer’s request, Servicer shall deliver to Buyer reports regarding the status
of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Sections 9.28 and 9.29, which shall
include, with respect to any MERS Designated Mortgage Loan, MERS Reports, and
any circumstances that could materially adversely affect the Mortgage Loans,
Buyer’s ownership of the Mortgage Loans or the collateral securing the Mortgage
Loans.

 

(c)           Servicer’s
rights to interim service the Mortgage Loans as provided in this Agreement,
shall terminate on the earlier of the related Repurchase Date or the date which
is thirty (30) days following the related Purchase Date; provided that, on each Repurchase Date for
which a Mortgage Loan is subject to a new Transaction such 30-day interim
servicing period is deemed renewed for such new Transaction, and a new 30-day
period is deemed to commence as of such Repurchase Date, unless otherwise
stated in writing by Buyer. If an Act of Insolvency of Servicer or any default
hereunder by Servicer occurs at any time, Servicer’s rights and obligations to
service the Mortgage Loan(s), as provided in this Agreement, shall terminate
immediately, without any notice or action by Buyer. Servicer agrees and
acknowledges that Buyer may also, at any time, terminate the interim servicing
of the Mortgage Loans by Servicer and transfer servicing to the Platform
(regardless of whether or not the Platform is acquired by Servicer or an
affiliate thereof) or to another Person on such date as Buyer may determine in
its sole discretion. In the event that anything in this Agreement is
interpreted as constituting one or

 

58

 

more interim servicing contracts, each such servicing
contract shall terminate automatically upon the earliest of (i) an Event
of Default; (ii) the repurchase of a Mortgage Loan by a Seller; or (iii) Buyer’s
notice to Servicer directing Servicer to transfer servicing (provided, that the Servicer’s obligations
as set forth herein to cooperate in the transfer of such servicing shall not
terminate until such servicing has actually been transferred in full). In
connection with any termination of the Servicer, Sellers shall, at their own
expense, transfer servicing of the Mortgage Loans to a Successor Servicer
designated by Buyer.

 

(d)           Within
two (2) Business Days after notice from Buyer, or immediately upon notice
if an Event of Default has occurred:

 

(i)           Servicer shall comply with the provisions of Section 4.01
hereof; and

 

(ii)          at Buyer’s sole option, upon written notice from Buyer,
Servicer shall transfer servicing of the Mortgage Loans to a Successor Servicer
designated by Buyer.

 

(e)           Following
the occurrence of an Event of Default, in connection with the transfer of
servicing from Servicer to Successor Servicer, Successor Servicer or Buyer,
pursuant to Section 3500.21(d) of the Real Estate Settlement
Procedures Act (12 U.S.C. 2605), shall deliver a notice of transfer to the
Mortgagors, which notice shall not require the signature or approval of
Servicer. Such notice of transfer shall be in substantially the same form as Exhibit XII
attached hereto.

 

(f)            Impac
Funding Corporation, or any Affiliate, in its capacity as Servicer, shall
permit (or shall cause any Sub-Servicer, if applicable, to permit) Buyer to
inspect Servicer’s or its Affiliate’s or Sub-Servicer’s servicing facilities,
as the case may be, for the purpose of satisfying Buyer that Servicer or its
Affiliate or Sub-Servicer, as the case may be, has the ability to service the
Mortgage Loans as provided in this Agreement.

 

(g)           If
the servicer of the Mortgage Loans is Impac Funding Corporation or an Affiliate
of Impac Funding Corporation, Servicer shall provide to Buyer a letter from
Servicer or such Affiliate, as the case may be, to the effect that upon one (1) day’s
notice from Buyer or immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Servicer’s rights and obligations to service the Mortgage Loans shall terminate
immediately, without any further notice or action by Buyer and Servicer shall transfer
servicing to Buyer’s designee, at no cost or expense to Buyer, it being agreed
that Servicer will pay any and all fees required to terminate Servicer and to
effectuate the transfer of servicing to the designee of Buyer.

 

(h)           With
respect to the Mortgage Loans that are serviced by Servicer, Servicer agrees
that Buyer is the owner of all Servicing Records. Servicer covenants to
safeguard such Servicing Records and to deliver them promptly to Buyer or its
designee (including Custodian) at Buyer’s request.

 

59

 

(i)            If Servicer services the Mortgage
Loans through a sub-servicer, Servicer agrees that it shall ensure that any
such sub-servicer complies in all material respects with all provisions
contained in this Section 11.10.

 

(j)            In consideration of its agreement to
provide interim servicing for the benefit of Buyer hereunder (and regardless of
whether or not Buyer ever actually designates the Servicer to perform delegated
servicing functions hereunder), Servicer shall be entitled to receive, payable
solely from the Income on the Purchased Assets, an interim servicer fee (the “Interim
Servicer Fee”) equal to [the Interim Servicing Fee Rate accruing from time
to time on the daily average of the outstanding principal balance of Mortgage
Loans constituting Purchased Assets that are Eligible Assets hereunder], but
payable solely from the portion of available Income representing interest
collected in respect of the Mortgage Loans. Servicer, if then performing delegated
servicing responsibilities that include the processing and remittance of
collections of Income, may obtain such payment by withholding such amount from
such Income prior to transferring such Income to Buyer; provided, that following the occurrence and
during the continuance of a Default, such amount shall only be payable to
Servicer from such Income that remains available after repayment of all
Outstanding Repurchase Price and satisfaction of all other obligations owing to
Buyer hereunder; and provided further,
that the Interim Servicing Fee shall continue to accrue for the benefit of the
Servicer only for so long as the Servicer has not been terminated by the Buyer
as interim servicer hereunder. In addition, Buyer agrees to pay to the Platform
in consideration of the Platform’s provision of servicing advice and
consultation to Buyer from time to time, a Platform servicer fee (the “Platform
Servicer Fee”) equal to [the Platform Servicing Fee Rate accruing from time
to time on the daily average of the outstanding principal balance of Mortgage
Loans constituting Purchased Assets that are Eligible Assets hereunder], but
payable solely from Income received by Buyer hereunder.

 

Section 11.11         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.

 

(b)           It is understood that either party’s
right to liquidate Purchased Assets delivered to it in connection with
Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 10.02
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.

 

60

 

(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 or regulations promulgated thereunder).

 

Section 11.12         Periodic
Due Diligence Review.

 

Sellers acknowledge that Buyer has the right to perform
continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Mortgage Loans, for
purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and
specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and Sellers agree that upon
reasonable (but not less than one (1) Business Day) prior notice unless an
Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case no notice is required, to
Sellers, 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 Sellers and/or Custodian. Sellers 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, Sellers acknowledge that Buyer may purchase
Mortgage Loans from Sellers based solely upon the information provided by
Sellers 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 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. Sellers agree 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 Sellers. All such
due diligence conducted in accordance with this Section shall be at the
expense of Sellers and Sellers shall, jointly and severally, reimburse Buyer as
and when billed for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by
Buyer in connection with its activities pursuant to this Section 11.12
(up to a limit of $40,000 per annum, unless a Default or an Event of Default
shall have occurred, in which case there shall be no such limit), within thirty
(30) days of receipt of an invoice therefor.

 

Section 11.13         Buyer’s
Appointment As Attorney-In-Fact.

 

Sellers hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint Buyer
and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as their
true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in
the place and stead of Sellers and in the name of Sellers or in its own name,
from time to time in Buyer’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the
terms

 

61

 

of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action
and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be reasonably
necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, to file
such financing statement or statements relating to the Purchased Assets and the
Purchased Items without any Seller’s signature thereon as Buyer at its option
may deem appropriate, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Sellers hereby give Buyer the power and right, on behalf of Sellers, without
consent of, but with notice to, Sellers, to do the following:

 

(a)           in the name of Sellers, or in its own
name, or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks,
drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due
under any mortgage insurance or with respect to any other Purchased Items and
to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law
or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Buyer for the purpose of
collecting any and all such moneys due under any such mortgage insurance or
with respect to any other Purchased Items whenever payable;

 

(b)           to pay or discharge taxes and Liens
levied or placed on or threatened against the Purchased Items;

 

(c)           (A) to direct any party liable
for any payment under any Purchased Items to make payment of any and all moneys
due or to become due thereunder directly to Buyer or as Buyer shall direct
including, but without limitation, the delivery of a “Goodbye Letter” in the
form of Exhibit XII hereto; (B) to ask or demand for, collect,
receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other
amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any
Purchased Items; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments,
verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any Purchased
Items; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at
law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the
Purchased Items or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in
respect of any Purchased Items; (E) to defend any suit, action or
proceeding brought against any Seller with respect to any Purchased Items; (F) to
settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause
(E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or
releases as Buyer may deem appropriate; and (G) generally, to sell,
transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with
any Purchased Items as fully and completely as though Buyer were the absolute
owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Buyer’s option and Sellers’
expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Buyer
deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Purchased Items and
Buyer’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully
and effectively as Sellers might do;

 

(d)           to direct the actions of the
Custodian with respect to the Purchased Items under the Custodial Agreement;
and

 

(e)           to execute, from time to time, in
connection with any sale provided for in Section 10.02, any
endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with
respect to the Purchased Items.

 

62

 

Each Seller hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall
lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a
power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

 

The powers conferred on Buyer hereunder are solely to
protect Buyer’s interests in the Purchased Items and Purchase Assets and shall
not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Buyer shall be
accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the
exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors,
employees or agents shall be responsible to Sellers for any act or failure to
act hereunder, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct.

 

Section 11.14         Conflicts.
If there is any conflict between the terms of this Agreement or any Transaction
entered into hereunder and the Custodial Agreement, this Agreement shall
prevail. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement, any
other Repurchase Document and any Confirmation, the documents shall control in
the following order of priority: first, the terms of the Confirmation shall
prevail, then the terms of this Agreement shall prevail, and then the terms of
the other Repurchase Documents shall prevail.

 

Section 11.15         Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and any of the
parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart.

Section 11.17         Acknowledgments.

(a)           it has been advised by counsel in the
negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Repurchase
Documents;

 

(b)           Buyer has no fiduciary relationship
to Sellers; and

 

(c)           no joint venture exists between Buyer
and Sellers.

 

Section 11.18         Confidentiality.

 

Each Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) all
written or computer-readable information provided by Buyer to Sellers regarding
Buyer and (ii) the terms of this Agreement or any Repurchase Documents
(the “Buyer Confidential Information”), shall be kept confidential and
each of their respective contents will not be divulged to any party without
Buyer’s consent except to the extent that (i) Sellers deem appropriate to
do so in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other
governmental agencies or regulatory bodies or in order to comply with any
applicable federal or state laws; (ii) any portion of Buyer Confidential
Information is in the public domain other than due to a breach of this
covenant; or (iii) Sellers deem appropriate in connection with exercising
any or all of Sellers’ rights or remedies or complying with any obligations
under this Agreement, provided that Sellers shall not disclose any pricing
information without the prior written consent of Buyer; provided, however,

 

63

 

that, Buyer Confidential Information does not preclude
Sellers from filing this Agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission
as required under federal securities regulations. Any Confirmation shall only
be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission if applicable law requires
such filing; Sellers shall give written notice to Buyer of determination that
such filing of the Confirmation is so required. The provisions set forth in
this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

Buyer acknowledges that, in connection with its entering
into and ongoing performance of this facility, it may from time to time come
into possession of material, nonpublic information concerning the affairs of
Sellers (the “Seller Confidential Information”). Buyer agrees to hold
all such Seller Confidential Information confidential and such Seller Confidential
Information will not be divulged to any party without Sellers’ consent except
to the extent that (i) Buyer deems appropriate to do so in working with
legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies or
regulatory bodies or in order to comply with any applicable federal or state
laws, (ii) any portion of Seller Confidential Information is in the public
domain other than due to a breach of this covenant, or (iii) Buyer deems
appropriate in connection with exercising any or all of Buyer’s rights or
remedies or complying with any obligations under this Agreement.

 

Section 11.19         Set-Off.

 

In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer provided
by this Agreement and by law, Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice
to Sellers, any such notice being expressly waived by Sellers to the extent
permitted by applicable law, to set-off and appropriate and apply against any
amount due and payable by Sellers hereunder any and all property and deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency,
and any other 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 Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit
or the account of Sellers. Buyer may also set-off cash and all other sums or
obligations owed by Buyer or its Affiliates to Sellers (whether under this
Agreement or under any other agreement between the parties or between Sellers
and any Affiliate of Buyer) against all of Sellers’ obligations to Buyer or its
Affiliates (whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement between
the parties or between Sellers and any Affiliate of Buyer), whether or not such
obligations are then due. Buyer agrees promptly to notify Sellers after any
such set-off and application made by it; provided
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity
of such set-off and application. The exercise of any such right of set-off
shall be without prejudice to Buyer’s or its Affiliate’s right to recover any
deficiency.

 

Section 11.20         Disclosure
Relating to Certain Federal Protections.

 

The parties acknowledge that they have been advised in the
case of Transactions in which one of the parties is an “insured depository
institution” as that term is defined in Section 1813(c)(2) of Title
12 of the United States Code, as amended, 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, the Savings
Association Insurance Fund or Bank Insurance Fund, as applicable.

SCHEDULE 1

 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
RE: MORTGAGE LOANS

 

Part I: Residential Mortgage Loans

 

Each Seller, jointly and severally, shall be deemed to
make the following representations and warranties to Buyer, with respect to
each Mortgage Loan, as of the Purchase Date for the purchase of any Purchased
Assets by Buyer from Sellers and as of the date of this Agreement and any
Transaction hereunder and at all times while the Repurchase Documents and any
Transaction hereunder is in full force and effect. Certain defined terms used
herein and not otherwise defined in this Agreement appear in Part II to
this Schedule 1.

 

(1)          Mortgage
Loans as Described. The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule
with respect to the Mortgage Loan is, and the representations and warranties
set forth herein are, complete, true and correct in all respects;

 

(2)          Payments
Current. No Mortgage Loan is thirty (30) days or more delinquent as of the
date such Mortgage Loan was first included in the Purchased Assets, nor will
any Mortgage Loan, as of the date when such Mortgage Loan was first included in
the Borrowing Base, have been thirty (30) or more days delinquent more than
once since origination. At any time when such Mortgage Loan is owned by Buyer,
no payment required under the Mortgage Loan will be more than fifty-nine (59)
days delinquent nor such Mortgage Loan have been thirty (30) or more days
delinquent more than once since origination.

 

(3)          No
Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with the terms of
the Mortgage securing the Mortgage Loan, and 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,
provided that, in the instance of taxes and/or insurance premiums, this
representation will be considered satisfied to the extent that 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. No Person, including any Seller, 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 Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is
earlier, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first
installment of principal and interest thereunder;

 

(4)          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 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 Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgagor 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 the policy, and

 

1-1

 

which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File
delivered to Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage
Loan Schedule;

 

(5)          No
Defenses. The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of rescission,
reformation, 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, reformation, set-off, counterclaim or defense
has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor was a debtor in any
state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at, or subsequent to, the
time the Mortgage Loan was originated;

 

(6)          Hazard
Insurance. Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all buildings or other
improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a Qualified Insurer
acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac against loss by fire, hazards of
extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the
Mortgaged Property is located and, as of the date of origination, consistent
with the Underwriting Guidelines, against other risks insured against by
Persons operating like properties in the locality of the Mortgaged Property,
pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the requirements of Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac in an amount not less than the greatest of (i) 100% of the
replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property; (ii) either
(a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan with respect to
each first lien Mortgage Loan or (b) with respect to each Second Mortgage
Loan, the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the related first lien
mortgage loan and the outstanding principal balance of the Second Mortgage
Loan; or (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any
co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property except as
limited by applicable law, and consistent with the amount that would have been
required as of the date of origination in accordance with the Underwriting
Guidelines and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac requirements. If any portion of the
Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a Flood Hazard Map or Flood
Insurance Rate Map by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special
flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available), a flood
insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the
Federal Flood Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable
insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least
of (1) either (A) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage
Loan with respect to each first lien Mortgage Loan or (b) with respect to
each Second Mortgage Loan, the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the
related first lien mortgage loan and the outstanding principal balance of the
Second Mortgage Loan,, (2) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged
Property, on a replacement cost basis and (3) the maximum amount of
insurance available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as
amended. Sellers shall have obtained a paid in full, life of loan, transferable
flood certification contract for each Mortgage Loan and shall assign all such
contracts to Buyer. All such insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard
insurance policy”) conform to the requirements of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
and contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the related Seller and its
successors and assigns (including, without limitation, subsequent owners of the
Mortgage Loan) as mortgagee, and may not be reduced, terminated or cancelled
without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the mortgagee. No such notice
has been received by any Seller. All premiums on such insurance policy
previously coming due have been paid. Subject to applicable law, the related
Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance
policy at the Mortgagor’s

 

1-2

 

cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so,
authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at
such 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, is in full force and effect, and
will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of Buyer upon the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No Seller has
engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s or Servicer’s or any prior
servicer’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the
coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for
therein, 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 or entity, and no such unlawful
items have been received, retained or realized by any Seller;

 

(7)          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,
fair housing, predatory and abusive lending laws, or disclosure laws applicable
to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with, the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such
laws or regulations, and each Seller shall maintain or cause to be maintained
in its possession, available for Buyer’s inspection, and shall deliver to
Buyer, upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements;

 

(8)          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. No Seller has 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 any Seller waived any
default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor. With respect to
each Second Mortgage Loan (i) the related first lien is in full force and
effect, (ii) there is no default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration existing under the related first lien mortgage or the mortgage
note related to such first lien mortgage, (iii) either no consent for the
Mortgage Loan is required by the holder of the first lien or such consent has
been obtained and is contained in the Mortgage File, (iv) no event 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
under the related first lien mortgage loan, and either (A) the related
first lien mortgage contains a provision which allows or (B) applicable
law requires, the mortgagee under the Second Mortgage Loan to receive notice
of, and affords such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default by payment in
full or otherwise under the related first lien mortgage, and (v) such
Second Mortgage Loan is secured by a one- to four-family residence that was (or
would be) the principal residence of the Mortgagor upon the origination of the
Second Mortgage Loan;

 

1-3

 

(9)          Location
and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is a single parcel
of fee simple property or a leasehold estate with respect to real property
located in jurisdictions in which the use of leasehold estates for residential
properties is a widely accepted practice. The Mortgaged Property consists of a single
parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected
thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or an individual residential
condominium unit in a low-rise condominium project, or an individual unit in a
planned unit development or a de minimis
planned unit development and shall conform with the Underwriting Guidelines. No
residence or dwelling is a mobile home or a manufactured home. No portion of
the Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes; provided that Mortgaged Properties which
contain a home office shall not be considered as being used for commercial
purposes as long as the Mortgaged Property has not been altered for commercial
purposes and is not storing any chemicals or raw materials other than those
commonly used for homeowner repair, maintenance and/or household purposes;

 

(10)        Valid
First or Second Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and
perfected (A) first lien and first priority security interest with respect
to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by Sellers to be a First Mortgage
Loan, or (B) second lien and second priority security interest with
respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by Sellers to be a Second
Mortgage Loan, in either case, on the real property included in the Mortgaged
Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all fixtures,
installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and
air-conditioning systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all
additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the
foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to:

 

(A)            the lien of current real property
taxes and assessments not yet due and payable;

 

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

 

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

 

(D)            with respect to each Second Mortgage
Loan, a prior mortgage lien on the 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 (A) first lien
and first priority perfected security interest with respect to each first lien
Mortgage Loan, or (B) second lien and second priority perfected security
interest with

 

1-4

 

respect to each Second Mortgage Loan, in either case, on
the property described therein and the applicable Seller has full right to sell
and assign the same to Buyer. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of
origination of the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to
secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the
lien of the Mortgage, which subordinate lien was not taken into account in the
determining of such Mortgage Loan’s Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio, as disclosed
to Buyer;

 

(11)        Validity
of Mortgage Loan Documents. The Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other
agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor or guarantor, if applicable, in
connection with the Mortgage Loan are genuine, and each 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 related
agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and
deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other related agreement, and
the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other related agreement have been duly
and properly executed by such parties. The documents, instruments and
agreements submitted for loan underwriting were not falsified and contain no
untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the information and statements therein
not misleading.     No fraud, error, negligence,
misrepresentation or omission of fact or similar malfeasance with respect to a
Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including, without
limitation, any Seller, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer,
or any other party involved in the origination or servicing of the Mortgage
Loan or in the application of any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan.
Sellers have reviewed all of the documents constituting the Servicing File and
have made such inquiries as they deem necessary to make and confirm the
accuracy of the representations set forth herein;

 

(12)        Full
Disbursement of Proceeds. The Mortgage Loan has been closed and the
proceeds of such Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no
further requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements
under the Mortgage Loan as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement
and any 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;

 

(13)        Ownership.
Immediately prior to the sale of the Mortgage Loan to Buyer, the related Seller
is the sole legal, beneficial and equitable owner of record and, except with
respect to MERS Designed Mortgage Loans, holder of the Mortgage Loan. The
Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged, and the related Seller has good,
indefeasible and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer,
convey, assign and sell the Mortgage Loan therein 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 and assign 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;

 

1-5

 

(14)        Doing
Business. All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan,
whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the
period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (1) in
compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the
state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (2) organized under
the laws of such state, or (3) qualified to do business in such state, or (4) federal
savings and loan associations or national banks having principal offices in
such state, or (5) not doing business in such state;

 

(15)        LTV.
No Mortgage Loan has an LTV greater than 100%. No Second Mortgage Loan has a
CLTV greater than 100%;

 

(16)        Title
Insurance. The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender’s title insurance
policy (which, in the case of an Adjustable Rate Loan has an adjustable rate
mortgage endorsement in the form of ALTA 6.0 or 6.1) or other generally
acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac,
issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and licensed
and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property
is located, insuring the related Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the
first (or second, if the Mortgage Loan is a Second Mortgage Loan) priority lien
of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, and
against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien
resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the
Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment, subject only to the exceptions
contained in clauses (A), (B), and (C), and with respect to each Second
Mortgage Loan, clause (D) of Paragraph (10) of this Schedule 1. Where
required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the
opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance.
Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures
ingress and egress, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property
or any interest therein. The title policy does not contain any special
exceptions (other than the standard exclusions) for zoning and uses and has
been marked to delete the standard survey exception or to replace the standard
survey exception with a specific survey reading. The related 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
Mortgage, including the related 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 the related Seller;

 

(17)        No
Defaults. There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration
existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event 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 Sellers nor any predecessors to any of the Sellers has waived any
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. With respect to each
Second Mortgage Loan, (i) the prior mortgage is in full force and effect, (ii) there
is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under such
prior mortgage or the related mortgage note, (iii) no event which, with
the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace

 

1-6

 

or cure period, would constitute a default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration thereunder, and either (A) the prior
mortgage contains a provision which allows or (B) applicable law requires,
the mortgagee under the Second Mortgage Loan to receive notice of, and affords
such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default by payment in full or otherwise
under the prior mortgage;

 

(18)        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 related Mortgaged
Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the
lien of the related Mortgage;

 

(19)        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;

 

(20)        Origination:
Payment Terms. The Mortgage Loan was originated by or in connection with a
Seller or by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
pursuant to Sections 203B and 211 of the National Housing Act or a savings and
loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance
company or similar banking institution which is supervised and examined by a
federal or state authority. Other than with respect to Interest-Only Loans,
principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than 60 days after
funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage
Interest Rate is adjusted, with respect to the Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans,
on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date to equal the applicable index plus the
Gross Margin (rounded up or down to nearest 0.125%), subject to the Maximum
Mortgage Interest Rate. Other than with respect to Interest Only Loans, the
Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in equal monthly
installments of principal and interest, which installments of interest, with
respect to Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, are subject to change due to the
adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest Rate Adjustment
Date, with interest calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize
the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of
not more than forty (40) years from commencement of amortization. The Mortgage
Note has the terms identified in the applicable Mortgage Loan Schedule. The due
date of the first payment under the Mortgage Note is no more than sixty (60)
days from the date of the Mortgage Note. No Mortgage Loan is a Convertible
Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan shall pay installments of interest at the
Mortgage Interest Rate. In the case of a Balloon Loan, monthly payments are
based on a fifteen (15) or thirty (30) year amortization schedule, as set forth
in the related Mortgage Note, and a final monthly payment substantially greater
than the preceding monthly payment which is sufficient to amortize the
remaining principal balance of the Balloon Loan and to pay interest at the
related Mortgage Interest Rate;

 

(21)        Customary
Provisions. The Mortgage Note has a stated maturity. The Mortgage contains
customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies
of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged
Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in
the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust,

 

1-7

 

by trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial
foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on,
or trustee’s sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the proper procedures,
the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable
title to the Mortgaged Property. There is no homestead or other exemption
available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the
Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage
subject to applicable federal and state laws and judicial precedent with
respect to bankruptcy and right of redemption;

 

(22)        Conformance
with Underwriting Guidelines and Agency Standards. The Mortgage Loan was
underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines in the form
approved by Buyer; the Mortgage Loan was underwritten either (i) in accordance
with the Underwriting Guidelines as of the date of this Agreement or (ii) in
accordance with a subsequent modification of the Underwriting Guidelines
previously affirmatively approved by Buyer. The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are
on forms acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and no Seller has made any
representations to a Mortgagor that are inconsistent with the mortgage
instruments used;

 

(23)         Occupancy
of the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied
under applicable law. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be
made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property
and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not
limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have
been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities. No Seller has 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. No Seller has received notice of
any violation or failure to conform with any such law, ordinance, regulation,
standard, license or certificate. Except as otherwise disclosed on the Mortgage
Loan Schedule, the Mortgagor represented at the time of origination of the
Mortgage Loan that the Mortgagor would occupy the Mortgaged Property as the
Mortgagor’s primary residence;

 

(24)        No
Additional Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by
any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security
interest of any applicable Security Agreement or chattel mortgage referred to
in Paragraph (10) above;

 

(25)         Deeds
of Trust. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee,
authorized and duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been
properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and
no fees or expenses are or will become payable by Custodian or Buyer to the
trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale
after default by the Mortgagor;

 

(26)        Delivery
of Mortgage Loan Documents. Other than with respect to Wet-Ink Mortgage
Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage or if such
Mortgage has been originated in the name of MERS and registered under the MERS®
system, evidence satisfactory to Buyer that Buyer has been identified as the “interim
funder” on the MERS® System, and any other documents required to be delivered
by Sellers under this Agreement have been delivered to Buyer or Custodian.
Sellers are in possession of a complete,

 

1-8

 

true and accurate Mortgage File in compliance with the
Custodial Agreement, except for such documents the originals of which have been
delivered to Buyer or Custodian;

 

(27)        Transfer
of Mortgage Loans. With respect to Mortgage Loans which have not been
registered under the MERS® system, the Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable
form (excepting therefrom the name of the assignee and mortgage recordation
information not yet returned from the applicable recording office) and is
acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the
Mortgaged Property is located;

 

(28)        Due-On
Sale. Except as may otherwise be limited by applicable law, the Mortgage
contains an enforceable provision for the acceleration of the payment of the
unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged
Property is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the
Mortgagee thereunder;

 

(29)        No
Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent Interests. The
Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments
are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account
established by Sellers, the Mortgagor or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, or
paid by any source other than the Mortgagor nor does it contain any other
similar provisions which may constitute a “buydown” provision. The Mortgage
Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not
have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature;

 

(30)        Consolidation
of Future Advances. Any future advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the
related Purchase Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal
amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as
consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien
of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured
as having (A) first lien priority with respect to each Mortgage Loan which
is indicated by Sellers to be a first Mortgage Loan, or (B) second lien
priority with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by Sellers to be
a Second Mortgage Loan, in either case, by a title insurance policy, an
endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by
other title evidence conforming to Accepted Origination Practices and
acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The consolidated principal amount
does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan;

 

(31)         Mortgaged
Property Undamaged. There is no proceeding pending or threatened for the
total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property
is free of damage and waste that may affect adversely the value of the
Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises
were intended and each Mortgaged Property is in good repair. There have not
been any condemnation proceedings with respect to the Mortgaged Property and
the applicable Seller has no knowledge of any such proceedings scheduled to
commence at a future date;

 

(32)        Collection
Practices; Escrow Deposits; Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan Adjustments. The
origination and collection practices used by the related Seller, the originator
and each servicer of the Mortgage Loan with respect to the Mortgage Loan have
been in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and in all respects in
compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, and have been in all
respects legal, prudent and consistent with

 

1-9

 

industry standards for mortgage loans of the same type as
the Mortgage Loan. With respect to escrow deposits and escrow payments (other
than with respect to Second Mortgage Loans for which the mortgagee under the
prior mortgage lien is collecting Escrow Payments), all such payments are in
the possession of, or under the control of, the related Seller or Servicer and
there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary
arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All Escrow Payments have
been collected in full compliance with federal, state and local law, rules and
regulations. An escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law, rules and
regulations and, if required by the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents or
requested by the Mortgagor, has been established in an amount sufficient to pay
for every item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet
due and payable. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or
payments due Sellers have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the Mortgage
Note. Each Mortgage Loan is covered by a life of loan tax service contract. All
Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments have been made in strict compliance with
state and federal laws and the terms of the related Mortgage Note. Any interest
required to be paid pursuant to state, federal and local laws has been properly
paid and credited;

 

(33)        No
Denial of Insurance. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no
state of fact exists or has existed that has resulted or will result in the
exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any applicable pool
insurance policy, special hazard insurance policy, PMI Policy or bankruptcy
bond, irrespective of the cause of such failure of coverage. In connection with
the placement of any such insurance, no commission, fee, or other compensation
has been or will be received by the related Seller or by any of such Seller’s
officers, directors, or employees or by any of such Seller’s designees or any
corporation in which such Seller or any officer, director, or employee had a
financial interest at the time of placement of such insurance;

 

(34)        Servicemembers’
Civil Relief Act. The Mortgagor has not notified the related Seller, and
such Seller has no knowledge, of any relief requested or allowed to the
Mortgagor under the Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act;

 

(35)        Appraisal.
The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property which
is on appraisal form 1004 or form 2055 with an interior inspection or, with
respect to any Second Lien Mortgage Loan, is on appraisal form 704, 2065 or
2055 with an exterior inspection only. If requested by Buyer, the related
Seller has delivered to Buyer an appraisal of the Mortgaged Property signed
prior to the approval of the Mortgage application by an appraiser qualified
under Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines who (i) is licensed in the
state where the Mortgaged Property is located, (ii) has no interest,
direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any Mortgage Loan or the
security therefore, and (iii) does not receive compensation that is
affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan. The appraisal
shall have been made within one hundred and eighty (180) days before the
origination of the Mortgage Loan, and shall have been completed in compliance
with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, and all
applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations, including but not
limited to the relevant provisions of the Financial Institutions Reform,
Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989. If the appraisal was made more than one
hundred and twenty (120) days before the origination of the Mortgage Loan, such
Seller shall have received and delivered to Buyer a recertification of the
appraisal;

 

1-10

 

(36)        Disclosure Materials. The
Mortgagor has executed a statement to the effect that the Mortgagor has
received all disclosure materials required by applicable law with respect to
the making of adjustable rate mortgage loans in the case of Adjustable Rate
Mortgage Loans and fixed rate mortgage loans in the case of Fixed Rate Mortgage
Loans. Sellers shall maintain such statement in the Mortgage File;

 

(37)        No Defense to Insurance Coverage.
No action has been taken or failed to be taken, no event has occurred and no
state of facts exists or has existed on or prior to the Purchase Date (whether
or not known to any Seller on or prior to such date) which has resulted or will
result in an exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any
private mortgage insurance, pool insurance, special hazard policy or bankruptcy
bond (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which
would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount
of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether arising out of
actions, representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of Sellers,
the related Mortgagor or any party involved in the application for such
coverage, including the appraisal, plans and specifications and other exhibits
or documents submitted therewith to the insurer under such insurance policy, or
for any other reason under such coverage, but not including the failure of such
insurer to pay by reason of such insurer’s breach of such insurance policy or such
insurer’s financial inability to pay; in connection with the placement of any
such insurance, no commission, fee, or other compensation has been or will be
received by the related Seller or by any of such Seller’s officers, directors,
or employees or by any of such Seller’s designees or any corporation in which
such Seller or any officer, director, or employee had a financial interest at
the time of placement of such insurance;

 

(38)        Construction or Rehabilitation of
Mortgaged Property. No Mortgage Loan was made in connection with the
construction or rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or facilitating the
trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property. For purposes of this section, a
Mortgage Loan with an escrow holdback is not considered to be a construction or
rehabilitation loan;

 

(39)        Capitalization of Interest. The
Mortgage Note does not by its terms provide for the capitalization or
forbearance of interest. None of the Mortgage Loans provides for Negative
Amortization and each Mortgage Loan provides for payments of principal and
interest sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity
date. With respect to each Second Mortgage Loan, the related first lien does
not provide for Negative Amortization;

 

(40)        No Equity Participation. No
document relating to the Mortgage Loan provides for any contingent or
additional interest in the form of participation in the cash flow of the
Mortgaged Property or a sharing in the appreciation of the value of the
Mortgaged Property. The indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note is not
convertible to an ownership interest in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor
and the related Seller has not financed nor does it own directly or indirectly,
any equity of any form in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor;

 

(41)        [Reserved].

 

(42)        Withdrawn Mortgage Loans. If the
Mortgage Loan has been released to the related Seller, on behalf of Buyer,
pursuant to a Request for Release as permitted under the

 

1-11

 

Custodial Agreement, then
the promissory note relating to the Mortgage Loan was returned to the Custodian
within five (5) Business Days;

 

(43)        Origination Date. The Origination
Date is no earlier than two (2) months prior to the date the Mortgage Loan
is first purchased by Buyer;

 

(44)        No Exception. The Custodian has
not noted any material exceptions on a Mortgage Loan Schedule and Exception
Report with respect to the Mortgage Loan which would materially adversely
affect the Mortgage Loan or Buyer’s ownership or security interest in the
Mortgage Loan, unless consented to by Buyer;

 

(45)        Mortgage Submitted for Recordation.
The Mortgage either has been or will promptly be submitted for recordation in
the appropriate governmental recording office of the jurisdiction where the
Mortgaged Property is located;

 

(46)        Ground Leases. The Mortgage Loan
is not secured by the Mortgagor’s interest in a Ground Lease except to the
extent permitted pursuant to representation (9) above, and if such
Mortgage Loan is secured by the Mortgagor’s interest in a Ground Lease:

 

(A)          The
Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been duly recorded, the Ground Lease
permits the interest of the lessee thereunder to be encumbered by the related
Mortgage, does not restrict the use of the Mortgaged Property by the lessee or
its successors and assigns in a manner that would adversely affect the security
provided by the related Mortgage, and there has not been a material change in
the terms of the Ground Lease since its recordation, with the exception of
written instruments which are part of the related mortgage file;

 

(B)           The
Ground Lease is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of
equal priority with, the related Mortgage, other than the related ground lessor’s
related fee interest;

 

(C)           The
Ground Lease either (i) has a term which extends not less than five years
beyond the maturity date of the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) grants the
lessee the option to extend the term of the lease for a period (in the
aggregate) which exceeds five years beyond the maturity date of the related
Mortgage Loan;

 

(D)          The
Ground Lease is valid, in good standing, and in full force and effect;

 

(E)           The
lessee is not in default under any provision of the lease;

 

(F)           The
mortgagee under the Mortgage Loan is given at least 30 days’ notice of any
default and an opportunity to cure any defaults under the Ground Lease or to
take over the Mortgagor’s rights under the Ground Lease;

 

(G)           The
Ground Lease does not contain any default provisions that could give rise to
forfeiture or termination of the Ground Lease except for the nonpayment of the
Ground lease rents; and

 

1-12

 

(H)          The
Ground Lease provides that the leasehold can be transferred, mortgaged and sublet
an unlimited number of times either without restriction or on payment of a
reasonable fee and delivery of reasonable documentation to the lessor;

 

(47)         Section 32 Loans. The
Mortgage Loan is not a “High Rate, High Cost” loan or Section 226.32 loan
as described in Regulation Z of the Truth in Lending Act, or a loan which is
characterized as a “high cost mortgage loan” under applicable state or local
law, rules or regulations;

 

(48)         Predatory Lending Regulations; High
Cost Loans. None of the Mortgage Loans are (a) subject to, covered by
or in violation of the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 (“HOEPA”)
or (b) classified as a “high cost,” “threshold,” “covered,” “high risk,” “threshold,”
or “predatory” loans (excluding a “covered home loan” as defined in clause (1) of
the definition of such term under the New Jersey Home Ownership Security Act of
2002) under any other applicable state, federal or local law, including any
predatory or abusive lending laws, (including, without limitation, any regulation
or ordinance) (or a similarly classified loan using different terminology under
a law imposing heightened regulatory scrutiny or additional legal liability for
residential mortgage loans having high interest rates, points and/or fees) or (c) in
violation of any state law or ordinance comparable to HOEPA or (d) a
Mortgage Loan categorized as “High Cost” or “Covered,” as applicable, pursuant
to Appendix E of the Standard & Poor’s LEVELS® Glossary Revised,
Appendix E or (e) no Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1,
2002 through March 6, 2003 is governed by the Georgia Fair Lending Act;

 

(49)         Endorsements. Each Mortgage Note
has been endorsed by the related Seller for its own account and not as a
fiduciary, trustee, trustor or beneficiary under a trust agreement;

 

(50)         Accuracy of Information. All
information provided to Buyer by Sellers with respect to the Purchased Assets
is accurate in all material respects;

 

(51)         Credit Insurance. No Mortgagor
was offered or required to purchase credit insurance in connection with the
origination of the related Mortgage Loan;

 

(52)         Minimum FICO. Except for
Mortgage Loans falling within the Sub-Limit applicable thereto (within the
meaning of the Existing Agreement), no Mortgagor had a FICO score below 520 at
the time of origination of the related Mortgage Loan;

 

(53)         Original Issue Discount. The
Mortgage Loan was originated free of any “original issue discount” with respect
to which the owner of the Mortgage Loan could be deemed to have income pursuant
to Sections 1271 et seq. of the Code;

 

(54)         Acceptable Investment. The
Mortgagor is not in bankruptcy or insolvent and the related Seller has no
knowledge of any circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage, the
Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that can
reasonably be expected to cause the Mortgage Loan to be an unacceptable
investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or adversely affect
the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan. As used herein, “knowledge”
shall be deemed to include (A) knowledge of facts or conditions of which
Sellers (including, without limitation, any of their directors, officers,
agents or employees) either are actually aware or should have been aware under
the circumstances with the exercise of

 

1-13

 

reasonable care, due
diligence and competence in discharging such Seller’s duties, (B) all
matters of public record, and (C) the making of any representation or
warranty that is inaccurate or incomplete. The term “due diligence” means the
care which a Seller would exercise in obtaining and verifying information for a
loan in which such Seller would be entirely dependent on the property securing
such loan and on the borrower’s creditworthiness as security to protect its
investment;

 

(55)         No Construction Loans. No
Mortgage Loan was made in connection with (a) facilitating the trade-in or
exchange of a Mortgaged Property or (b) the construction or rehabilitation
of a Mortgaged Property;

 

(56)         Environmental Matters. The
Mortgaged Property is free from any and all toxic or hazardous substances,
hazardous wastes or solid wastes as such terms are defined in the Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act and the Resources
Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, including, without limitation, asbestos,
and there exists no violation of any local, state or federal environmental law,
rule or regulation. There is no pending action or proceeding directly
involving any Mortgaged Property of which Sellers are aware in which compliance
with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue; and to the
best of Sellers’ knowledge, nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in
full all requirements of each such law, rule or regulation constituting a
prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said property;

 

(57)         Value of Mortgage Property. No
Seller has knowledge of any circumstances or conditions existing with respect
to the Mortgage Loan, Mortgaged Property or Mortgagor’s credit standing that
should reasonably be expected to adversely affect the value or the
marketability of the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgage Loan or to cause the
Mortgage Loan to prepay during any period materially faster or slower than the
Mortgage Loans originated by Sellers generally;

 

(58)         Servicing Agreement. No
servicing agreement has been entered into with respect to the Mortgage Loan, or
any such servicing agreement has been terminated (without any termination fee)
and there are no restrictions, contractual or governmental, which would impair
the ability of Buyer or Buyer’s designees from servicing the Mortgage Loan;

 

(59)         LTV; PMI Policy. No Mortgage
Loan has an LTV greater than 100%. With respect to “prime” Mortgage Loans (as
defined in the Underwriting Guidelines), each such Mortgage Loan with an LTV in
excess of 80% is and will be insured as to payment defaults by a PMI Policy
acceptable to Fannie Mae and in an amount of coverage meeting the requirements
set forth with respect to such insurance policies in the Fannie Mae Guides
until such Mortgage Loan is no longer required under the terms of the Fannie
Mae Guides to be so insured. All provisions of such PMI Policy have been and
are being complied with, such policy is valid and remains in full force and effect,
and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. No action, inaction, or event
has occurred and no state of facts exists that has, or will result in the
exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage by the PMI Policy. Any
Mortgage Loan subject to a PMI Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to
maintain the PMI Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection
therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate for each Mortgage Loan as set forth on
the mortgage loan schedule is net of any such insurance premium;

 

1-14

 

(60)         Regarding the Mortgagor. The
Mortgagor is one or more natural persons and/or trustees for an Illinois land
trust or a trustee under a “living trust” and such “living trust” is in compliance
with Fannie Mae guidelines for such trusts;

 

(61)         Qualified Mortgage. The Mortgage
Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) or
any successor provision thereof of the Code;

 

(62)         Insurance. Sellers have caused
or will cause to be performed any and all acts required to preserve the rights
and remedies of Buyer in any insurance policies applicable to the Mortgage
Loans including, without limitation, any necessary notifications of insurers,
assignments of policies or interests therein, and establishments of coinsured,
joint loss payee and mortgagee rights in favor of Buyer;

 

(63)         Simple Interest Mortgage Loans.
None of the Mortgage Loans are simple interest Mortgage Loans;

 

(64)         Prepayment Fee. Except as set
forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, none of the Mortgage Loans are
subject to a prepayment fee. With respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a
prepayment fee feature, each such prepayment fee is enforceable and will be
enforced by Sellers for the benefit of Buyer, and each prepayment fee is
permitted pursuant to federal, state and local law and, with respect to any
Agency Eligible Mortgage Loan, is only payable (i) with respect to a
Mortgage Loan originated prior to October 1, 2002, during the first 5
years of the term of the Mortgage Loan, and (ii) with respect to a
Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1, 2002, during the first 3
years of the term of the Mortgage Loan. Each such prepayment fee is in an
amount not greater than the maximum amount permitted under applicable law. With
respect to any Mortgage Loan that contains a provision permitting imposition of
a prepayment fee upon a prepayment prior to maturity: (i) prior to the
loan’s origination, the Mortgagor agreed to such prepayment fee in exchange for
a monetary benefit, including but not limited to a rate or fee reduction, (ii) with
respect to any Agency Eligible Mortgage Loan, prior to the loan’s origination,
the Mortgagor was offered the option of obtaining a Mortgage Loan that did not
require payment of such a prepayment fee, (iii) the prepayment fee is
disclosed to the Mortgagor in the loan documents pursuant to applicable state
and federal law, and (iv) notwithstanding any state or federal law to the
contrary, Sellers shall not impose such prepayment fee in any instance when the
mortgage debt is accelerated as the result of the Mortgagor’s default in making
the loan payments;

 

(65)         Accuracy of Information. All
information provided to Buyer by Sellers with respect to the Mortgage Loans is
accurate in all material respects;

 

(66)         Single Premium Credit Insurance.
No Mortgagor is offered or required to purchase single premium credit insurance
in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan. No Mortgagor
obtained a prepaid single premium credit life, disability, unemployment,
mortgage, accident or health insurance policy in connection with the
origination of the Mortgage Loan. None of the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan
were used to purchase or finance single-premium insurance policies or debt cancellation
agreements as part of the origination of or as a condition to closing, such
Mortgage Loan;

 

1-15

 

(67)         MIP Insurance. With respect to
each Mortgage Loan insured by HUD or the VA, all insurance premiums (“MIP”)
payable to HUD or the VA, as applicable, in connection with such Mortgage Loan
were paid within the timeframe required by such Agency to avoid the imposition
of any late fees or penalty fees;

 

(68)         MIP Insurance Certificate. With
respect to each Mortgage Loan insured by HUD or the VA, Sellers have received
the related insurance certificate from the applicable agency evidencing such
insurance within 60 days of the origination date of such Mortgage Loan;

 

(69)         MIP Documents. With respect to
each Mortgage Loan insured by HUD or the VA, Sellers have submitted all
documents required by the applicable Agency to insure such Mortgage Loan
(regardless of whether such documents are required to be contained in the
related Document File) within 30 days of the origination date of such Mortgage
Loan;

 

(70)         MIP Access. With respect to each
Mortgage Loan insured by HUD or the VA, Sellers have provided access to Buyer
to the lender number, password or any other information that may be required by
the applicable Agency or otherwise for Buyer to verify that the related MIP
payments have been made;

 

(71)         Borrower Credit Files. With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, Sellers have fully and accurately furnished
complete information on the related borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian
and TransUnion Credit Information Company, in accordance with the Fair Credit
Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, on a monthly basis and Sellers,
for each Mortgage Loan, will furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting
Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information on its
borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion Credit Information
Company, on a monthly basis;

 

(72)         Lending Practices. No predatory
or deceptive lending practices, including but not limited to, the extension of
credit to the applicable Mortgagor without regard for said Mortgagor’s ability
to repay the Mortgage Loan and the extension of credit to said Mortgagor which
has no apparent benefit to said Mortgagor, were employed by the originator of
the Mortgage Loan in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan. With
respect to any Agency Eligible Mortgage Loan, such Mortgage Loan is in
compliance with the anti-predatory lending eligibility for purchase requirements
of the Fannie Mae Guides;

 

(73)         Loan Products. With respect to
any Agency Eligible Mortgage Loan, no Mortgagor was encouraged or required to
select a Mortgage Loan product offered by the Mortgage Loan’s originator which
is a higher cost product designed for less creditworthy borrowers, unless at
the time of the Mortgage Loan’s origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify
taking into account credit history and debt to income ratios for a lower cost
credit product then offered by the Mortgage Loan’s originator or any affiliate
of the Mortgage Loan’s originator. If, at the time of loan application, the
Mortgagor may have qualified for a lower cost credit product then offered by
any mortgage lending affiliate of the Mortgage Loan’s originator, the Mortgage Loan’s
originator referred the Mortgagor’s application to such affiliate for
underwriting consideration;

 

1-16

 

(74)         Underwriting Methodology. With
respect to any Agency Eligible Mortgage Loan, the methodology used in
underwriting the extension of credit for each Mortgage Loan employs objective
mathematical principles which relate the Mortgagor’s income, assets and
liabilities to the proposed payment and such underwriting methodology does not
rely on the extent of the Mortgagor’s equity in the collateral as the principal
determining factor in approving such credit extension. Such underwriting
methodology confirmed that at the time of origination (application/approval),
the Mortgagor had a reasonable ability to make timely payments on the Mortgage
Loan;

 

(75)         Disclosure of Fees. All fees and
charges (including finance charges) and whether or not financed, assessed,
collected or to be collected in connection with the origination and servicing
of each Mortgage Loan, have been disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in
accordance with applicable state and federal laws and regulations;

 

(76)         Disclosure of Points. All
points, fees and charges (including finance charges) related to each Mortgage
Loan and whether or not financed, assessed, collected or to be collected in
connection with the origination and servicing of each Mortgage Loan were
disclosed in writing to the related Mortgagor in accordance with applicable
state and federal law and regulation. Except in the case of a Mortgage Loan in
an original principal amount of less than $60,000 which would have resulted in
an unprofitable origination, no related Mortgagor was charged “points and fees”
(whether or not financed) in an amount greater than five percent (5%) of the
principal amount of such loan, and with respect to any Agency Eligible Mortgage
Loan, such 5% limitation is calculated in accordance with Fannie Mae’s
anti-predatory lending requirements as set forth in the Fannie Mae Guides. No
Mortgagor was charged “points and fees” in an amount greater than (a) $1,000
or (b) 5% of the principal amount of the related Mortgage Loan, whichever
is greater. For purposes of this representation, “points and fees” (x) include
origination, underwriting, broker and finder’s fees and charges that the lender
imposed as a condition of making the Mortgage Loan, whether they are paid to
the lender or to a third party; and (y) exclude bona fide discount points,
fees paid for actual services rendered in connection with the origination of
the Mortgage (such as attorneys’ fees, notaries fees and fees paid for property
appraisals, credit reports, surveys, title examinations and extracts, flood and
tax certifications, and home inspections), the cost of mortgage insurance or
credit-risk price adjustments, the costs of title, hazard, and flood insurance
policies, state and local transfer taxes or fees, escrow deposits for the
future payment of taxes and insurance premiums and other miscellaneous fees and
charges that, in total, do not exceed 0.25 percent of the loan amount;

 

(77)         Consent. Either (a) no
consent for the Second Mortgage Loan is required by the holder of the related
first lien or (b) such consent has been obtained and is contained in the
mortgage file;

 

(78)         Arbitration. No Mortgagor agreed
to submit to arbitration to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating in
any way to the Mortgage Loan transaction;

 

(79)         MERS Designated Mortgage Loans.

respectively, of [Seller] (the “Seller”), a [                     ],

in connection with the Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement, dated
as of [              ],
2008, among Seller, [Sellers] and Buyer (the “Repurchase Agreement”).

event has occurred since the date of the last good standing certificate of
Seller provided to Buyer which has affected the good standing of Seller under

4.             All
of the representations and warranties of Seller contained in the Repurchase Documents
to which it is a party were true and correct in all material respects as of the
date of the Repurchase Agreement and are true and correct in all material
respects as of the date hereof and Seller has complied with all of the
Repurchase Documents to which it is a party and satisfied all of the conditions
on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the date hereof.

 

5.             Seller
has performed all of its duties and has satisfied all the material conditions
on its part to be performed or satisfied pursuant to the Repurchase Documents

6.             There
are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to my knowledge, threatened, against

11.           The
execution by the undersigned evidences each such officer’s determination that

RE:   Notice
of Transfer of Servicing Rights

 

Dear Customer:

 

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the
servicing of your mortgage loan, that is, the right to collect payments from
you, is being transferred from [SERVICER] to [SUCCESSOR SERVICER], effective
[DATE].

 

The assignment, sale or transfer of the servicing of the
mortgage loan does not affect any term or condition of the mortgage
instruments, other than terms directly related to the servicing of your loan.

 

Your present servicer is [SERVICER]. If you have
any questions relating to the transfer of servicing from your present servicer
call                                 between                       a.m.
and              p.m.
on the following days                        .
This is a [toll-free] or [collect call] number.

 

Your new servicer will be [SUCCESSOR SERVICER].
Your new servicer may be
contacted              as            follows:

 

	
  OVERNIGHT ADDRESS

  	
   

  	
  PAYMENTS

  	
   

  	
  CUSTOMER INQUIRIES

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  

 

The [toll-free] [collect call] telephone number of
your new servicer
is                    .
If you have any questions relating to the transfer of servicing to your new
servicer call
                              [enter
the name of an individual or department here] at                          [toll-free
or collect call telephone number]
between                                       a.m.
and                    p.m.
on the following
days                           .

 

XII-1

 

The date that your present servicer will stop accepting
payments from you is [DATE]. The date that your new servicer will start
accepting payments from you is [DATE]. Send all payments due on or after that
date to your new servicer.

 

If you are currently making payments through a third party
(e.g., government allotment or bill pay service), it is your responsibility to
notify them of your new loan number or payment change, if applicable.

 

The fire and homeowners insurance policies carried on your
property will be transferred to your new servicer and remain in full force. To
ensure that your insurance renewal is paid timely, please verify that your
insurance agent has updated the mortgagee clause to read: [SUCCESSOR SERVICER],
its successors and/or assigns [ADDRESS].

 

If you previously arranged with your present servicer to have
your monthly mortgage payments drafted from your bank account, this service
will not continue. If your account is delinquent your new servicer will contact
you.

 

You will be receiving two Year End statements for [YEAR].
One will reflect payment and disbursement activity for the period of time
[SERVICER] serviced your loan and the other will be from [SUCCESSOR SERVICER]
and will reflect payment and disbursement activity from the transfer date
through the end of the year.

 

You should also be aware of the following information,
which is set out in more detail in Section 6 of the Real Estate Settlement
Procedures Act (RESPA) (12 U.S.C. 2605):

 

During the 60-day period following the effective date of
the transfer of the loan servicing, a loan payment received by your old
servicer before its due date may not be treated by the new loan servicer as
late, and a late fee may not be imposed on you.

 

Section 6 of RESPA (12 U.S.C. 2605) gives you certain
consumer rights. If you send a “qualified written request” to your loan
servicer concerning the servicing of your loan, your servicer must provide you
with a written acknowledgment within 20 Business Days of receipt of your
request. A “qualified written request” is a written correspondence, other than
notice on a payment coupon or other payment medium supplied by the servicer,
which includes your name and account number, and your reasons for the request.
If you want to send a “qualified written request” regarding the servicing of
your loan, it must be sent to the “Customer Inquiries” address listed above.

 

Not later than 60 Business Days after receiving your
request, your servicer must make any appropriate corrections to your account,
and must provide you with a written clarification regarding any dispute. During
this 60-Business Day period, your servicer may not provide information to a
consumer reporting agency concerning any overdue payment related to such period
or qualified written request. However, this does not prevent the servicer from
initiating foreclosure if proper grounds exist under the mortgage documents.

 

A Business Day is a day on which the offices of the
business entity are open to the public for carrying on substantially all of its
business functions.

 

XII-2

 

Section 6 of RESPA also provides for damages and
costs for individuals or classes of individuals in circumstances where
servicers are shown to have violated the requirements of that Section. You
should seek legal advice if you believe your rights have been violated.

RE:         WAIVER AGREEMENT

 

Ladies
and Gentlemen:

 

Reference
is made to the Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of September 11,
2008 (the “Repurchase Agreement”), by and among Impac Funding
Corporation, as a Seller (“IFC”), Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc., as
a Seller and Servicer (“IMH”), Impac Warehouse Lending Group, Inc.,
as a Seller (“IWLG” and, collectively with IFC and IMH the “Sellers”),
and UBS Real Estate Securities, Inc., as Buyer (“UBS”).  The parties have entered into the Repurchase
Agreement in consideration for the Waiver (defined below) and other good and
valuable consideration.  Capitalized
terms not otherwise defined in this Waiver Agreement (this “Waiver Agreement”)
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Repurchase Agreement.

 

The
Sellers have requested that UBS waive its rights (the “Waiver”) to
pursue remedies pursuant to an Event of Default under Section 10.02 of the
Repurchase Agreement as a result of Sellers’ failure to meet the covenants
and/or representations and warranties as set forth in the following sections of
the Repurchase Agreement:

 

(A)                              Section 8.05(b) –
The Sellers have lost the licenses and approvals of various regulatory agencies
and authorities, but the Sellers do not expect that such losses will result in
a Material Adverse Effect on any Seller as its business is presently
conducted.  The Waiver excludes those
licenses required for the Servicer to perform its duties as Servicer under
Repurchase Agreement.

 

(B)                                Section 8.06
– The Sellers have been and continue to be subject to the general economic
conditions presently affecting the mortgage industry as a whole and,
particularly with regard to Alt-A lenders, such conditions likely constitute a “Material
Adverse Change” to the Sellers’ prospects and condition (financial and
otherwise).  The Waiver shall solely
apply to those financial statements provided to UBS up to the date of the
Repurchase Agreement.

 

(C)                                Sections
8.18 and 8.28 – The representations and warranties regarding Mortgage Loans
set forth in Schedule 1 to the Repurchase Agreement are limited as set forth in
Section 2.01 of both agreements and Sellers make no representations or 

 

 

warranty that Schedule 1
is or was correct as of any date other than the date that a Mortgage Loan
became subject to a Transaction for the first time under the Repurchase
Agreement.  The Sellers have disclosed to
the Buyer that certain of the Mortgage Loans may have been procured through
fraudulent conduct on the part of third parties.

 

(D)                               Sections
9.01 and 9.32 – The Sellers have not timely delivered financial statements
(and related certifications) for the first and second fiscal quarters of 2008
and such financial statements have not been timely filed with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). 
The Waiver shall solely apply to the failure of the Sellers to deliver
financial statements (and related certifications) to the SEC for the first and
second fiscal quarters of 2008.

 

(E)                                 Section 9.02
– The Sellers have determined that certain litigation with respect to which
they were served more than 30 days ago requires disclosure to the SEC and they
are thus concurrently herewith disclosing to the Buyer the existence of such
litigation (see Schedule 5 to the Repurchase Agreement).  The Waiver shall apply solely to the
litigation set forth on Schedule 5 to the Repurchase Agreement as of the date
of this Waiver Agreement.

 

(F)                                 Section 9.04(c) –
The Sellers are not presently originating or acquiring Mortgage Loans and do
not expect to do so in the foreseeable future. 
The Waiver shall immediately cease as to that Seller who enters into, in
the ordinary course of business, the business of originating or acquiring
Mortgage Loans.

 

UBS
hereby agrees to the Waiver for those Events of Default as set forth above in (A) –
(F) and any Events of Default under the Existing Agreement, (as defined in
the Repurchase Agreement), which are no longer representations, warranties or
covenants of the Sellers in the Repurchase Agreement.  In the event that an Event of Default occurs
under the Repurchase Agreement on or after the date hereof, the Sellers
acknowledge and agree that UBS may immediately exercise its rights and remedies
under the Repurchase Agreement, including but not limited to:  (i) enforcing the obligations of the
Sellers to immediately pay the Repurchase Price to repurchase all Purchased
Assets; (ii) selling the Purchased Assets to third parties chosen by UBS
(or deeming such sale to occur in accordance with the Repurchase Agreement); (iii) obtaining
an injunction or an order of specific performance against any of the Sellers;
and (iv) declaring the occurrence of the Final Repurchase Date.

 

The
Sellers hereby release and waive any claims, counterclaims, crossclaims,
offsets, recoupment, causes of action or defenses they have or may have arising
from any matter with regard to the Repurchase Agreement, the performance of
their obligations thereunder, or any transaction related to the Repurchase
Documents, against and/or with regard to UBS and/or any of its affiliates,
employees, officers, directors, agents, successors or assigns thereof, and any
such claims, counterclaims, crossclaims, offsets, recoupment, causes of action
or defenses are hereby waived, relinquished and released in consideration of
UBS’s execution and delivery of this Agreement.

Except
as stated herein, UBS shall not be deemed to have waived or modified any of its
rights hereunder or under any other agreement, instrument or paper signed by
any Seller unless such waiver or modification is in writing and signed by
UBS.  No failure or delay on the part of
UBS in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder or under any Repurchase
Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy
hereunder.  The remedies herein provided
are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.  Any provision hereof which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or uneforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or thereof or affecting the
validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

Please
return to UBS a copy of this Agreement countersigned by each of the
Sellers.  Such signatures shall also
constitute a ratification and reaffirmation by the Sellers of all Repurchase
Documents to which any Seller is a party and of all obligations, liabilities,
liens, security interests, rights and remedies created or evidenced
thereby.  This Agreement shall be
construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York
(without regard to conflicts of law principles).

 

This
Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in several counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which shall constitute
together but one and the same agreement. 
The parties may execute facsimile copies of this Agreement and the
facsimile (or electronic) signatures of any such party shall be deemed an
original and fully binding on said party.
