On the Repurchase Date for a Pool of Purchased Mortgage Loans that is being securitized in a “delivery versus MBS” or “swap and hold” transaction, termination of the Transaction, and the simultaneous initiation of a new Transaction whose subject will be the MBS created from such Pool, will be effected by Administrative Agent’s delivery of such Pool to the relevant Agency Custodian against delivery to Buyer of the MBS created from such Pool. On the Repurchase Date for such MBS, termination of such new Transaction will be effected by Seller’s wiring the Repurchase Price for such MBS, or causing it to be wired, to the Funding Account and causing the other elements of a Completed Repurchase Advice (those being items (iii) and (iv) in the definition of that term in Section 2(a)) to be delivered to Administrative Agent, whereupon Administrative Agent will transfer the MBS to the relevant Approved Takeout Investor, Seller or its designee, as applicable.

6.                                      Security Interest; Assignment of Takeout Commitments

 

A.                                   Section 6 is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

 

(a)                                 Security Interest. Although the Parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be absolute sales and purchases and not loans, to secure the payment and performance by Seller of its obligations, liabilities and indebtedness under each such Transaction and Seller’s obligations, liabilities and indebtedness under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, Seller hereby pledges, assigns, transfers and grants to Administrative Agent, as agent and representative of Buyers, a security interest in the Mortgage Assets in which Seller has rights or power to transfer rights and all of the Mortgage Assets in which Seller later acquires ownership, other rights or the power to transfer rights. “Mortgage Assets” means (i) the Purchased Mortgage Loans with respect to all Transactions outstanding from time to time hereunder (including, without limitation, all Servicing Rights with respect thereto), (ii) all Credit Files, Servicing Records, Loan Files, Asset Files, Mortgage Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the Mortgage Note or eMortgage Note (as the case may be) and Mortgage, and all of Seller’s claims, liens, rights, title and interests in and to the Mortgaged Property in each case to the extent related to such Purchased Mortgage Loans, (iii) all Liens securing repayment of such Purchased Mortgage Loans, (iv) all Income with respect to such Purchased Mortgage Loans, (v) the Accounts, (vi) the Takeout Commitments and Takeout Agreements to the extent Seller’s rights thereunder specifically relate to such Purchased Mortgage Loans, (vii) all Hedging Arrangements to the extent specifically relating to such Purchased Mortgage Loans, (viii) the Income Collection Account, together with all interest on the Income Collection Account, all modifications, extensions and increases of the Income Collection Account and all sums now or at any time hereafter on deposit in the Income Collection Account or represented by the Income Collection Account and (ix) all proceeds of the foregoing including, without limitation, to the extent that they are proceeds of the foregoing, all MBS, and the right to have and receive such MBS when issued, that are, in whole or in part, based on, backed by or created from Purchased Mortgage Loans for which the full cash Repurchase Price has not been received by Administrative Agent, irrespective of whether such related Purchased Mortgage Loans have been released from this security interest. Seller hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to file such financing statements and amendments relating to the Mortgage Assets as Administrative Agent may deem appropriate. Seller shall pay all fees and expenses associated with perfecting such Liens including the cost of filing financing statements and amendments under the UCC, registering each Purchased Mortgage Loan with MERS and recording assignments of the Mortgages and registering each related eNote on the MERS® eRegistry and initiating transfers, loan data updates and other actions on the MERS® eRegistry, in each case as and

 

12

 

when required by Administrative Agent in its good faith discretion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon Seller’s payment of the Repurchase Price to Administrative Agent (for Buyers’ accounts), any security interest of Buyers in the related Purchased Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgage Assets shall be released. Upon Seller’s request, Administrative Agent shall take such actions as shall be reasonably necessary to evidence such termination of a security interest in such Purchased Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgage Assets or such MBS.

 

(b)                                 Non-Exclusive License. Seller hereby grants to Administrative Agent, as agent and representative of Buyers, and Administrative Agent’s permittees throughout the term of this Agreement, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license and right to use and exercise Seller’s rights in or to (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to Seller or any other Person) any and all computer software, systems and platforms, including eClosing Systems, Seller’s eVaults, and archived versions of the same, now or hereafter used to originate, manage and administer any of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and any related Credit Files and Servicing Records, wherever the same may be located, and including in such license Seller’s access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof, whether exclusive or nonexclusive, and any computer programs that are owned by or licensed to Seller and that are necessary to efficiently access, organize, input, read, print or otherwise output, handle or use such systems, platforms, information and data; provided that the foregoing grant shall (i) be solely to the extent such access rights and/or licenses may be granted to Administrative Agent and its permittees pursuant to all applicable Requirements of Law and the contractual arrangements governing such rights and/or licenses, and subject to any limitations set forth therein, (ii) be strictly limited to access of information relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans, (iii) not be exercisable unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (“continuing” meaning after such Event of Default has occurred and before it has either been cured by Seller or waived in writing by Administrative Agent), and (iv) be subject to Seller’s unrestricted right to utilize the same with respect to assets other than Purchased Mortgage Loans and their related Mortgage Assets.

 

(c)                                  Assignment of Takeout Commitment. The sale of each Purchased Mortgage Loan to Buyers shall include Seller’s rights (but none of the obligations) under the applicable Takeout Commitment and Takeout Agreement, if any, to which such Purchased Mortgage Loan is specifically allocated, to deliver such Purchased Mortgage Loan or the related MBS, as applicable, to the Approved Takeout Investor and to receive the net sum therefor specified or provided for in the related Takeout Commitment from the Approved Takeout Investor.

Section 7 is amended by addition of the following new Section 7(d) to the end of Section 7:

 

(d)                                 Conditions Precedent to the Effectiveness of the Thirteenth Amendment to this Agreement. The effectiveness of the Thirteenth Amendment to MRA shall be subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent (any of which Administrative Agent may electively waive, in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion):

 

(i)                                     on or before the Thirteenth Amendment Effective Date, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered each of the documents listed on Exhibit 12A-E to the Thirteenth Amendment to MRA in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent and its counsel;

 

(ii)                                  as of the Thirteenth Amendment Effective Date, no material action, proceeding or investigation shall have been instituted or threatened, nor shall any material order, judgment or decree have been issued or proposed to be issued by any Governmental Authority with respect to Seller that has not been disclosed to Administrative Agent; and

 

(iii)                               Seller shall have paid to the extent due all fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred (including due diligence fees and expenses and reasonable legal fees and expenses) required to be paid under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

 

8.                                      Change in Requirement of Law

 

The following new Section 8(e) is added to Section 8 immediately following Section 8(d):

 

(e)                                  Increased eRisk. If at any time Administrative Agent determines (an “eRisk Determination”) that any Change in Law or in the MERS® eRegistry, or other event or circumstance, imposes or increases Administrative Agent’s or Buyers’ risk of making or maintaining purchases of eMortgage Loans, or of maintaining their obligations with respect to any eMortgage Loans Transactions, then Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to Seller, and (i) Administrative Agent and Seller shall endeavor in good faith to establish alternative terms and conditions to apply to eMortgage Loan Transactions to eliminate or satisfactorily reduce such risk, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to both Administrative Agent and Seller, and to amend this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to implement such changes. If Administrative Agent and Seller fail for any reason to execute such amendments on or before forty-five (45) days after Administrative Agent’s said notice to Seller, Administrative Agent may elect to give notice to Seller that, on or after forty-five (45) days thereafter, new eMortgage Loans will not be Eligible Mortgage Loans.

 

9.                                      Documents and Records Relating to Purchased Mortgage Loans

 

The title of Section 9 is amended to read as above and its text is amended to read as follows:

 

(a)                                 Segregation of Documents; Administrative Agent May Engage in Other Transactions. All documents in the possession of Seller relating to Purchased

 

14

 

Mortgage Loans shall be segregated from other documents and securities in its possession and shall be identified as being subject to this Agreement. Segregation may be accomplished by appropriate identification on the books and records of the holder, including a financial or securities intermediary or a clearing corporation. All of Seller’s interest in the Purchased Mortgage Loans (including the Servicing Rights) shall pass to Administrative Agent (as agent and representative of Buyers) on the Purchase Date and nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Administrative Agent from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Mortgage Loans or otherwise selling, transferring, pledging or hypothecating the Purchased Mortgage Loans, but no such transaction shall relieve Administrative Agent of its obligations to transfer the Purchased Mortgage Loans to Seller if and as required by Section 1, Section 3(f), Section 4(c), Subsection 3(j)(ii) or Section 22(c) or to credit, pay over or apply Income to the obligations of Seller pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 eClosing Transaction Records and Post-Purchase Support.

 

(i)                                     The eClosing Transaction Record of each Purchased Mortgage Loan that is an eMortgage Loan shall be stored and maintained by Seller or its Subservicer in a manner that preserves the integrity and reliability of the eClosing Transaction Record for the life of such eMortgage Loan plus a period consistent with applicable Agency Guidelines requirements.

 

(ii)                                  Seller shall cooperate with Administrative Agent in all activities necessary to enforce eMortgage Loans that are Purchased Mortgage Loans and related eNotes. Seller shall provide upon reasonable request by Administrative Agent, such affidavits, certifications, records and information regarding the creation and maintenance of the eNote and other Electronic Records in connection with any eMortgage Loan that Administrative Agent deems necessary or advisable to ensure admissibility of such eNote and other Electronic Records in a legal proceeding and may include, among other things, (a) a description of how the executed eNote and other Electronic Records have been stored to prevent against unauthorized access and unauthorized alteration and a description of how Seller’s eClosing System and Seller’s eVault can detect such unauthorized access or alteration, (b) a description of Seller’s eClosing System and Seller’s eVault controls in place to ensure compliance with applicable eCommerce Laws, including §201 of ESIGN and §16 of UETA, (c) a description of the steps followed by a Mortgagor to execute the eNote or other Electronic Record using Seller’s eClosing System, (d) a copy of each screen, as it would have appeared to the Mortgagor, of the eNote or other Electronic Record that Administrative Agent is seeking to enforce or defend, when Mortgagor signed the eNote or other Electronic Record, (e) a description of Seller’s eClosing System and Seller’s eVault controls in place at the time of signing to ensure the integrity of the data, and (f) testimony by an authorized officer or employee of Seller to support admission of the eNote and other Electronic Records into any legal proceeding to enforce or defend the eMortgage Loan.

 

15

 

(iii)                               Seller shall archive all versions of any eClosing System used to create eNotes and originate eMortgage Loans, and retain such versions including screenshots of each stage or version of the eClosing System process.

 

(iv)                              Seller shall retain the eClosing Transaction Record of each Purchased Mortgage Loan that is an eMortgage Loan in a manner that will provide Administrative Agent or its designees with ready access to such documents and records promptly following any request by Administrative Agent. With respect to each Purchased Mortgage Loan that is an eMortgage Loan, Seller must be able to provide to Administrative Agent, at any time upon Administrative Agent’s reasonable request, the eNote, any portions of the related Credit File or Servicing Record, and the eClosing Transaction Record, each in a format that is reasonably compatible with Administrative Agent’s systems then in use.

 

c.                                       Access to eClosing Systems, eVaults, and Expertise. Promptly following any reasonable request by Administrative Agent (and subject to the limitations applicable to onsite visits to Seller’s offices specified in Section 11(d)), Seller will, and will cause each Subservicer (if any) of eMortgage Loans and each eVault provider (if any), to give Administrative Agent access to (i) each eVault storing the Authoritative Copy of any eNote evidencing a Purchased Mortgage Loan, (ii) all software and systems used for the origination, management or administration of any Purchased Mortgage Loan or any related eClosing Transaction Record, Credit File or Servicing Record, and access to all media in which any part of such eClosing Transaction Record, Credit File or Servicing Record may be recorded or stored; (iii) Seller’s, or such Subservicer’s or eVault Provider’s, as applicable, know-how, expertise, and relevant data (such as customer lists) regarding any Purchased Mortgage Loan, or the policies, procedures and processes of such Person in originating, maintaining, servicing and otherwise managing eMortgage Loans and eNotes, and (iv) the personnel responsible for such matters.

EXHIBIT B

 

MORTGAGE LOAN
 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

With respect to each Purchased Mortgage Loan, (i) as of the Purchase Date for the purchase of any Purchased Mortgage Loans by Administrative Agent (as agent and representative of Buyers) from Seller and as of the date of this Agreement and any Transaction hereunder, and (ii) at all times while the Transaction Documents or any Transaction hereunder is in force and effect, Seller represents and warrants to Buyers and Administrative Agent that each of the statements set forth in the lettered clauses of this Exhibit B is true and correct in all material respects. For purposes of this Exhibit B and the representations and warranties set forth herein, a breach of a representation or warranty shall be deemed to have been cured with respect to a Mortgage Loan if and when Seller has taken or caused to be taken action such that the event, circumstance or condition that gave rise to such breach no longer adversely affects such Mortgage Loan. With respect to those representations and warranties that are made to the best of Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by Seller or Administrative Agent that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate, notwithstanding Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty (if Administrative Agent shall determine that a Purchased Mortgage Loan is not an Eligible Mortgage Loan because of the inaccuracy of such a representation or warranty, Administrative Agent will give Seller written notice specifying the affected Purchased Mortgage Loan or Loans).

 

(a)                                 Mortgage Loans as Described. The information set forth in the related Asset Schedule is complete, true and correct in all material respects as of the related Purchase Date.

 

(b)                                 Valid First Lien. The Mortgage is properly recorded (or, as to newly-Originated Mortgage Loans, is in the process of being recorded) and is a valid, existing and enforceable first Lien with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is indicated by Seller to be a first Lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged Property, free and clear of all adverse claims, and Liens having priority over the Lien of the Mortgage, subject only to (i) the Lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet delinquent, (ii) exceptions, covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording that are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to Seller, and that do not adversely affect the purchase by, or the purchase price to be paid by, the Approved Takeout Investor, and (iii) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject that do not individually or in the aggregate materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest securing the related Mortgage Loan on the property described therein and Seller has full right to sell and assign the related Mortgage Assets to Administrative Agent.

 

Exhibit B, Page 1

 

(c)                                  Validity of Mortgage Documents. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, Seller or its designee has in its possession all Servicing Files except for those Servicing Files (including for each eMortgage Loan, the eClosing Transaction Record) that Seller has disclosed to Administrative Agent are outstanding. The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are original and genuine, or in the case of an eNote, the copy of the eNote transmitted to Administrative Agent’s eVault is the Authoritative Copy and the tamper-seal on the eNote matches the tamper-seal stored on the MERS® eRegistry, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Mortgagor thereof, enforceable in all respects in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors and (ii) general principles of equity, whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law, and Seller has taken all action required by this Agreement or requested by Administrative Agent to transfer such rights of enforceability to Buyers. Neither the operation of any of the terms of any Mortgage or Mortgage Note, nor the proper exercise by any holder of any right thereunder, will render the Mortgage or Mortgage Note unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense, and no such right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto. All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had the legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties. All items required to be delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be delivered to Administrative Agent, within the time frames set forth in this Agreement, and if a document is delivered in imaged format, such images must be of sufficient quality to be readable and able to be copied. There is only one original executed Mortgage Note (or, in the case of an eNote, only one Authoritative Copy of the eNote, and each other copy of such Authoritative Copy is readily identifiable as a copy that is not the Authoritative Copy of the eNote) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, and, if an eMortgage Loan, the Mortgagor only signed the eNote at origination and did not also execute an original paper version.

 

(d)                                 Customary Provisions. The Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain 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, by trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure, subject to applicable federal and state laws and judicial precedent with respect to bankruptcy and right of redemption. 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, subject to applicable federal and state laws and judicial precedent with respect to bankruptcy and right of redemption. There is no homestead or other exemption or right available to the Mortgagor or any other person that 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. The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms that conform to the Agency Guidelines.

 

(e)                                  Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except only if the Mortgage Loan is not an eMortgage Loan, by written instruments that (a) have been recorded in the

 

Exhibit B, Page 2

 

applicable public recording office if required by law or if necessary to maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage and (b) have been delivered to Administrative Agent or the Custodian as required by this Agreement and the Custodial Agreement, and (c) if such instrument modifies an eNote, such modification is reflected on the MERS® eRegistry, and the eNote and related Mortgage Loan Documents remain valid, effective and enforceable and in compliance with all applicable eCommerce Laws and Agency Guidelines; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the insurer under the private mortgage insurance policy, if any, and by the title insurer, to the extent required by the related policy provided by Seller and is reflected appropriately on any and all documentation or data and is true and accurate in all material respects. No other instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the insurer under the private mortgage insurance policy, if any, and by the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is a part of the Asset File, the Loan Eligibility File and/or the Servicing File, as applicable. As of the Purchase Date, the full original principal amount of each Mortgage Loan has been fully disbursed as provided for in the Mortgage Loan Documents, and there is no requirement for any future advances.

 

(f)                                   No Defenses. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto; and the Mortgagor was not, as of the Origination Date, subject to an Act of Insolvency.

 

(g)                                  No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults by Seller or any Subservicer in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and (1) all taxes, special assessments, governmental assessments, insurance premiums and municipal charges that previously became due and owing have been paid or are not delinquent, or escrow funds have been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such escrowed item that remains unpaid and that has been assessed but is not yet delinquent before any “economic loss” dates or discount dates (or if payments were made after any “economic loss” date or discount date, then Seller has paid any penalty or reimbursed any discount out of Seller’s funds) and (2) all flood and hazard insurance premiums and private mortgage insurance premiums that are due, have been paid without loss or penalty to the Mortgagor. As of the Purchase Date, other than payments due but not yet thirty (30) days or more delinquent, no event that, 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 a Mortgage Loan has occurred, including, as of the Origination Date, a violation of applicable law, local ordinances or city codes resulting from a deterioration or defect existing in any Mortgaged Property, and neither Seller nor its predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. Seller has received no notice of, and has no actual knowledge of, any event, including the bankruptcy filing or death of a Mortgagor, that has resulted in a Mortgagor default under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage. None of Seller or any Subservicer has advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance from any Person other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount due under the Mortgage Loan, unless otherwise permitted in the Agency Guidelines.

 

Exhibit B, Page 3

 

(h)                                 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 satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or release. Neither Seller nor any Subservicer 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, and neither Seller nor any Subservicer has waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor.

 

(i)                                     No Default. Other than payments due but not yet thirty (30) days or more delinquent, there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event that, 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 permitting acceleration, and neither Seller nor any Subservicer has waived any default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor. With respect to each Mortgage Loan (i) the first Lien securing the Mortgage Loan is in full force and effect, (ii) there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under such first Lien Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note, and (iii) no event that, 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 thereunder.

 

(j)                                    Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The Mortgage Loan has been closed and the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the account of the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for the mortgagee to advance additional funds thereunder and any and all requirements as to completion of any on site or off site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees, and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been paid or are in the process of being paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due to the mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage with exception to escrow holdbacks.

 

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

 

(l)                                     No Additional Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the Lien of the corresponding Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage.

 

(m)                             Origination; Payment Terms. The Mortgage Loan was Originated by Seller, which is a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or other similar institution that is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority or duly licensed by state licensing authority, if applicable. Seller and all other parties that 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

 

Exhibit B, Page 4

 

disposed of such interest, were) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and either (1) organized under the laws of such state, (2) qualified to do business in such state, (3) federal savings and loan associations, savings banks or national banks having principal offices in such state, (4) not doing business in such state or (5) not required by any Requirement of Law to be qualified to do business in such state. Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced or will commence no more than sixty (60) days after the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The Mortgage Loan requires interest payable in arrears on the first day of the month. Each Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment that is sufficient (i) during the period before the first adjustment to the Mortgage interest rate, to amortize the original principal balance fully over the original term thereof (unless otherwise provided in the Agency Guidelines) and to pay interest at the related Mortgage interest rate, and (ii) during the period following each interest rate adjustment date in the case of each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, to amortize the outstanding principal balance fully as of the first day of such period over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Note and to pay interest at the related Mortgage interest rate. The Mortgage Note does not permit negative amortization. Interest on the Mortgage Note is calculated on the basis of a 360 day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The Mortgage Loan is not a simple interest Mortgage Loan (meaning a Mortgage Loan on which interest is calculated on a daily basis). The Mortgage Loan does not require a balloon payment upon the maturity thereof. The Mortgage Note does not by its terms provide for the capitalization or forbearance of interest.

 

(n)                                 Ownership. At the time of Administrative Agent’s payment of the Purchase Price, Seller was the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note. Immediately before the Purchase Date, the Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, is not assigned or pledged by Seller (although it may be, or have been, subject to a Takeout Commitment) and Seller has good and marketable title thereto, full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to Buyers free and clear of any Lien, participation interest, equity, pledge or claim and full right and authority subject to no interest or participation in, or agreement with, any other Person to sell or otherwise transfer the Mortgage Loan, subject to any applicable Takeout Commitment. Following the sale of the Mortgage Loan, Buyers will own such Mortgage Loan and the other Mortgage Assets free and clear of any Lien except for the Lien created pursuant to this Agreement and subject to Seller’s repurchase rights and applicable Takeout Commitments and Buyers have a valid and perfected first priority security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan and the other Mortgage Assets then existing and thereafter arising in each case free and clear of any Lien, subject to Seller’s repurchase rights and applicable Takeout Commitments. After the related Purchase Date, Seller will not have any right to modify or alter the terms of the sale of the Mortgage Loan to Buyers and Seller will not have any obligation or right to repurchase the Mortgage Loan, except as provided in this Agreement or as otherwise agreed to by Seller and Buyers. Seller has full right to sell, assign and transfer the Mortgage Loan without the consent of the related Mortgagor or any other Person.

 

(o)                                 Transfer of Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan is a MERS Designated Mortgage Loan. The original Mortgage was recorded in the appropriate jurisdictions wherein such recordation is necessary to perfect the Lien thereof as against creditors of the Mortgagor, or is in the process of being recorded. Seller has registered the Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System or will do so within five (5) Business Days after the Purchase Date. No Person (other than

 

Exhibit B, Page 5

 

Administrative Agent, which may, at its election, list itself as interim funder) is listed as interim funder on the MERS® System with respect to such Mortgage Loan.

 

(p)                                 Hazard Insurance. All buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer generally acceptable under the Agency Guidelines against loss by fire, hazards covered by extended coverage insurance and such other hazards as are required in the Agency Guidelines pursuant to an insurance policy conforming to the requirements of Agency Guidelines and providing coverage as required by Agency Guidelines. All such insurance policies are in full force and effect and contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the originator of the Mortgage Loan, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums due and owing thereon have been paid. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, or by regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, the Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect which policy conforms to the requirements of the Agency Guidelines. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the 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 in full force and effect. Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor, any Subservicer or any prior servicer having engaged in, any act or omission that would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either, including, to Seller’s knowledge, 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 Seller, in any case, to the extent it would impair coverage under any such policy.

 

(q)                                 Title Insurance. The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA, CLTA or TLTA lender’s title insurance policy, acceptable to the applicable Agency or as mandated by applicable state law, if any, issued by a title insurer acceptable to the applicable Agency or qualified as required under applicable state law and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring Seller, its successors and assigns as to the first priority of the lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, subject to the exceptions in clause (b) above, and, if such Mortgage Loan is an adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, 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 or monthly payment. 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. Seller and its successors and assigns are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force

 

Exhibit B, Page 6

 

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 Seller has not done, by act or omission, anything that would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy.

 

(r)                                    Closing Protection Letter. For each Wet Loan for which the related Settlement Agent involved in the Wet Funding (x) is Title Source, Inc., there is either (1) a blanket Closing Protection Letter covering settlements of multiple Mortgage Loans (which shall not be required to be included in each Loan File), or (2) a fidelity bond covering Title Source, Inc., naming Administrative Agent as loss payee, as its interest may appear, and providing Administrative Agent with a right to directly provide written notice of a claim if Seller fails to give written notice of such loss; provided that Seller shall have forty-five (45) days following the date of this Agreement to put in place the right for Administrative Agent to directly provide such written notice, or (y) is not Title Source, Inc., (1) a fully executed Closing Protection Letter, or (2) a blanket Closing Protection Letter covering settlements of multiple Mortgage Loans (which shall not be required to be included in each Loan File); provided that up to ten percent (10%) of the Wet Loans Originated by Seller in any calendar month may be settled by Settlement Agents (other than Title Source, Inc.) for which no Closing Protection Letter is applicable.

 

(s)                                   Private Mortgage Insurance Policy. In the event that a private mortgage insurance policy is required by the applicable Agency, the Mortgage Loan has a valid and transferable private mortgage insurance policy. Unless the private mortgage insurance policy for a Mortgage Loan was cancelled at the request of the Mortgagor or automatically terminated, in either case in accordance with applicable law, all premiums have been paid and all provisions of such private mortgage insurance policy have been and are being complied with. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a primary mortgage insurance policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to pay the private mortgage insurance policy premium, if any, with respect to such Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage interest rate for the Mortgage Loan set forth in the related Asset Schedule is net of any such insurance premium.

 

(t)                                    Optional Insurance. No single payment credit life insurance or other optional insurance product that has been considered “predatory” by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac has been obtained with the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan in connection with the Origination of such Mortgage Loan at the Origination Date.

 

(u)                                 Insurance. All policies of insurance, of whatever type, required either by the applicable Agency in connection with the closing of the Mortgage Loan or by this Agreement, remain in full force and effect. Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagors having engaged in, any act or omission that would impair the coverage, validity or binding effect of any such policies or that has resulted or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any applicable special hazard insurance policy, private mortgage insurance policy or bankruptcy bond, irrespective of the cause of such failure of coverage. In connection with the placement of any such insurance, no unlawful commission, unlawful fee, or other unlawful compensation has been or will be received by Seller or any Subservicer or any designee of Seller or any Subservicer or any corporation in which Seller, any Subservicer or, to Seller’s Knowledge, any officer, director, or employee of Seller or any Subservicer had a financial interest at the time of placement of such insurance.

 

Exhibit B, Page 7

 

(v)                                 Mortgaged Property Undamaged; No Condemnation Proceedings. As of the related Purchase Date, there are no material uninsured casualty losses or material casualty losses where coinsurance has been, or Seller has reason to believe will be, claimed by the insurance company or where the loss, exclusive of contents, is, or will be, materially greater than the recovery (less actual costs and expenses incurred in connection with such recovery) from the insurance carrier. No casualty insurance proceeds have been used by Seller to reduce Mortgage Loan balances or for any other purpose except to make repairs to the Mortgaged Property, except as allowed pursuant to applicable law and the Mortgage Loan documents. All damage with respect to which casualty insurance proceeds have been received by or through Seller has been properly repaired or is in the process of being repaired using such proceeds. There is no material damage to the Mortgaged Property from waste, fire, windstorm, flood, tornado, earthquake or earth movement, to Seller’s actual knowledge, hazardous or toxic substances or other casualty that would materially adversely affect the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan. There is no proceeding pending or, to the Seller’s actual knowledge, threatened in writing for the partial or total condemnation of the Mortgaged Property that would adversely affect the Mortgage Loan.

 

(w)                               Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements subject to the Mortgage that 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 wholly within the project with respect to a condominium unit) and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property, all except those that are insured against by the title insurance policy referred to in clause (q) above and all improvements on the Mortgaged Property comply with all applicable zoning and subdivision laws and ordinances.

 

(x)                                 Appraisal. The Asset File, the Loan Eligibility File and/or the Servicing File, as applicable, contains an appraisal or an underwriting property valuation using an automated valuation model of the related Mortgaged Property, or an Appraised Value Alternative, in each case, in a form acceptable to the applicable Agency, and in the case of an appraisal, made and signed, before the approval of the Mortgage Loan application, by a qualified appraiser, duly appointed by Seller, who had no interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan and who met the minimum qualifications of the applicable Agency. Each appraisal of the Mortgage Loan was made in accordance with the requirements of Title XI of the Federal Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the Origination Date of the Mortgage Loan;

 

(y)                                 Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. As of the Purchase Date, the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law.

As of the date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property was used for commercial purposes, and since the date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property has been used for commercial purposes; provided that Mortgaged Properties that contain a home office shall not be considered as being used for commercial purposes as long as the entire 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. The Mortgaged Property is not a Manufactured Home or a mobile home.

 

(aa)                          Environmental Matters. There is no pending action or proceeding directly involving any Mortgaged Property of which Seller is aware in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue and 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. The Mortgaged Property is free from toxic or hazardous substances in unlawful quantities or concentrations and there exists no violation of any local, state or federal environmental law, rule or regulation with respect to the Mortgaged Property.

 

(bb)                          Unacceptable Investment. Seller has no actual knowledge of any specific circumstances or condition with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that cause, or would reasonably be expected to cause, private institutional investors that invest in loans similar to the Mortgage Loan to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment or materially adversely affect the value or the marketability of the Mortgage Loan in comparison to similar loans.
