PURCHASE AND SALE PROCEDURES

Section 2.1   Sale of Mortgage Loans.

        2.1.1   Seller agrees to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to buy, from time to time, Eligible Mortgage Loans, in accordance with the terms hereof. Seller acknowledges that (i) the terms offered to Seller represent a premium available only for bulk purchases, and (ii) Purchaser may enter into various financial arrangements to make funds available to acquire Eligible Mortgage Loans. Accordingly, Seller guarantees that the average daily aggregate Acquisition Price for all Eligible Mortgage Loans offered by Seller to Purchaser in any Month shall not fall below fifty percent (50%) of the Seller’s Quick$ale® Limit. If Seller’s daily aggregate Acquisition Price for all Eligible Mortgage Loans falls below Fifty percent (50%) of the Seller’s Quick$ale® Limit for any two consecutive months, then Buyer, at Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion may (i) reduce the Seller’s Quick$ale® Limit or (ii) cancel this Agreement.

        2.1.2   In connection with such sale, Seller shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Purchaser (or Custodian, if so directed by the Purchaser) a Loan Purchase Detail (either electronically or via facsimile transmission) and all Submission Package Documents. In the case of a Direct Funding, Seller shall initially deliver Advance Submission Documents and shall, within two Business Days thereafter, deliver Submission Package Documents.

        2.1.3   Upon receipt of a Loan Purchase Detail and the related Submission Package Documents or Advance Submission Documents, as the case may be, subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent contained in Section 2.2 hereof, Purchaser shall purchase the related Eligible Mortgage Loan at the Acquisition Price.

        2.1.4   For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall have no right to replace or re-purchase any Purchased Loan other than a Defective Mortgage Loan.

        2.1.5   In no event shall Purchaser be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan (a) if the Acquisition Price of such Mortgage Loan, when combined with the aggregate Acquisition Price of all Purchased Loans then held by Purchaser, is in excess of the Seller Quick$ale ® Limit; or (b) if such Mortgage Loan is in a category to which a Seller Quick$ale® Sub-limit applies and the Acquisition Price of such Mortgage Loan, when combined with the aggregate Acquisition Price of any Purchased Loans in the same category which are then held by Purchaser, exceeds the applicable Seller Quick$ale ® Sub-limit.

        2.1.6   From and after the Acquisition Date, Seller shall hold a copy of each Mortgage Note, together with any Credit File Documents, and other Submission Package Documents or Advance Submission Documents, that are in, or may thereafter come into, its possession, for the benefit of Purchaser. Purchaser, as the case may be, shall appropriately identify such Credit File Documents, Submission Package Documents, or Advance Submission Documents, in Seller’s computer system to clearly reflect the ownership of any Purchased Loans.

Section 2.2   Purchase.

        2.2.1   In order to effect the purchase of an Eligible Mortgage Loan, Purchaser shall the same Business Day (or the following Business Day if the Loan Purchase Detail and all Submission Package Documents, or Advance Submission Documents, as the case may be, are not received prior to 10:30 a.m. San Francisco, California time) pay, or cause to be paid, the Acquisition Price therefore by wire transfer of immediately available funds, as follows:

	 	(a)	 	If such Mortgage Loan has been previously assigned by Seller to a Warehouse Lender in connection with any interim financing thereof, the amount owing to the Warehouse Lender shall be disbursed in accordance with the Warehouse Lender’s Wire Instructions furnished in connection with such Mortgage Loan; and
	 	 	 
	 	(b)	 	if such Mortgage Loan has not been previously assigned by Seller to a Warehouse Lender in connection with any interim financing thereof, or if any balance of the Acquisition Price remains after disbursement in accordance with the instructions contained in the Warehouse Lender’s Release furnished in connection with such Mortgage Loan, then to Seller or as directed by Seller in accordance with the Seller’s Wire Instructions.

        2.2.2   Simultaneously with the payment by Purchaser of the Acquisition Price with respect to any Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of subsection 2.2.1, Seller shall convey to Purchaser absolutely, and not by way of collateral assignment, all rights title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan, free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance. Seller shall confirm such conveyance by promptly executing a Loan Transfer Form.

        2.2.3   If, at any time after payment of the Acquisition Price, Seller holds, or receives, any documents or funds relating to a Purchased Loan, Seller agrees to immediately notify Purchaser, and to segregate and hold such documents and/or funds in trust for Purchaser and to deliver such documents or funds at the time and as directed by Purchaser or the Custodian.

        2.2.4   The terms and conditions of each purchase of a Mortgage Loan are set forth in this Agreement and each Loan Transfer Form.

        2.2.5   If Purchaser rejects any Mortgage Loan pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.7 hereof, all Submission Package Documents, or Advance Submission Documents, as the case may be, delivered to Purchaser (or Custodian, as the case may be) in anticipation of such purchase shall be returned to the transmitting party.

Section 2.3   Fees.

        2.3.1   After the first sixty (60) days of the Term, if the average daily aggregate Acquisition Price of all Eligible Mortgage Loans offered to Purchaser in any month is less than Seventy-five Percent (75%) of the Seller Quick$ale® Limit, Seller shall pay to Purchaser a Shortfall Premium with respect to Purchaser’s agreement hereunder to hold funds available to acquire from Seller Eligible Mortgage Loans. 

10

        2.3.2   Seller shall pay to Purchaser, within ten (10) days after receipt of a statement therefore, any outstanding Administrative Costs or cost related to Defective Mortgage Loans.

        2.3.3   Purchaser reserves the right, and Seller expressly authorizes Purchaser, to deduct any Shortfall Premiums and Administrative Costs owed by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to subsections 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 from any Sale Commissions then due and payable.

Section 2.4   Sale Commissions.

        Provided no Default has occurred and is continuing, Purchaser shall pay to Seller a commission in connection with the re-sale of each Purchased Loan to a Designated Investor as compensation for the introduction of such Designated Investor to Purchaser (each, a “Sale Commission”). The Sale Commission with respect to a Mortgage Loan shall vary in accordance with the Takeout Price that Seller is able to negotiate with the Designated Investor, and shall equal the amount, if any, by which the Adjusted Takeout Proceeds exceed the Adjusted Acquisition Price. The Sale Commission for each Mortgage Loan shall be deposited into Seller’s Settlement Account on the Settlement Date for such Mortgage Loan. If a Mortgage Loan is purchased without a Takeout Commitment from a Designated Investor, or the Designated Investor fails to honor its Takeout Commitment with respect to a Purchased Loan, no Sale Commission shall be due.

Section 2.5   Updated Representations Concerning the Seller.

        2.5.1   Each delivery of a Loan Purchase Detail by Seller shall be deemed to constitute a representation that at the time of such delivery:

Section 2.8   Sale of Mortgage Loans to Takeout Investors.

        2.8.1   If Seller designates a Takeout Investor and provided the Adjusted Takeout Proceeds equal or exceeds the Adjusted Acquisition Price, Purchaser agrees to sell each Purchased Loan to the Designated Investor identified in, and party to, the Takeout Commitment included as part of the Submission Package Documents furnished in connection with such Purchased Loan. Such sale shall be made pursuant to the provisions of such Takeout Commitment. If no Designated Investor or Takeout Commitment is provided with respect to any Purchased 

15

Loan at the time of purchase, or such Designated Investor fails to honor its Takeout Commitment then Purchaser shall have the right, as owner of the Purchased Loan, to sell the Purchased Loan on such terms and to such third party, as Purchaser deems appropriate.

        2.8.2   The sale of each Mortgage Loan to Purchaser shall include, and Seller hereby assigns to Purchaser, free of any security interest, lien, claim or encumbrance of any kind, Seller’s rights, and by purchasing such Mortgage Loans, Purchaser assumes Seller’s deliver obligations, under each Takeout Commitment for the Mortgage Loan(s) specified therein to the Designated Investor and to receive the Takeout Price therefore from such Designated Investor. 

        2.8.3   Seller shall cause each Designated Investor to provide Settlement Information with respect to the Mortgage Loan(s) as to which it has delivered a Takeout Commitment.

        2.8.4   The Settlement Date shall occur on the Business Day upon which the Settlement Information and the applicable Takeout Proceeds are received by Purchaser (or Custodian, if applicable). Any Settlement Information and/or Takeout Proceeds received by Purchaser (or Custodian, if applicable) after 12:00 p.m. San Francisco, California time on a Business Day (or at any time on a day which is not a Business Day) shall be deemed for all purposes to have been received on the next Business Day.

        2.8.5   If a Designated Investor delivers Takeout Proceeds but fails to provide the Settlement Information or provides Defective Settlement Information, Purchaser (or Custodian, on Purchaser’s behalf) will notify the Designated Investor and Seller. If the Designated Investor fails to provide the Settlement Information or to correct the Defective Settlement Information, within one (1) Business Day after receipt of such notification, Purchaser may, in its sole discretion:

	 	(a)	 	return any Takeout Proceeds for which it has incomplete Settlement Information to the Designated Investor; or
	 	 	 
	 	(b)	 	place such Takeout Proceeds in a non-interest bearing account until the requisite Settlement Information is provided.

Section 2.9   Seller’s Obligations with respect to Defective Mortgage Loans.

        2.9.1   The sale of Mortgage Loans described herein are not Caveat Emptor, it being understood that the Purchaser is expressly relying on the representations as to each Mortgage Loan provided in Section 2.5 hereof. Accordingly, if, after Purchaser purchases a Mortgage Loan, Purchaser determines or receives notice (whether from Seller, Takeout Investor, Custodian or otherwise) that a Purchased Loan is a Defective Mortgage Loan, Purchaser (or Custodian, on Purchaser’s behalf) shall promptly notify Seller and Seller shall, within three (3) business days, re-purchase such Purchased Loan at the Adjusted Acquisition Price.

        2.9.2   The parties further agree that if a payment default occurs on the first or second date payment was due under a Mortgage Note, Purchaser may notify Seller and Seller shall, within three (3) business days, re-purchase such Purchased Loan at the Adjusted Acquisition Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller gives to Purchaser the notice concerning first and second payment defaults required by paragraph 3.1.1(f) of this Agreement, then in no event shall the aggregate Acquisition Price for all Mortgage Loans that Seller is required to re-purchase under this subsection exceed ten percent (10%) of the aggregate Acquisition Price of all Mortgage Loans theretofore acquired by Purchaser from Seller.

        2.9.3   In the case of a Direct Funding, if the Seller fails to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser (or Custodian on behalf of Purchaser) the Submission Package Documents within two (2) Business Days following the Acquisition Date, Purchaser (or Custodian on Purchaser’s behalf) shall promptly notify Seller, and Seller shall within one Business Day, re-purchase such Purchased Loan at the Adjusted Acquisition Price.

        2.9.4   Upon receipt of the Adjusted Acquisition Price from the Seller, Purchaser (or Custodian on behalf of Purchaser) shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Seller all Submission Package Documents, or Advance Submission Documents, as the case may be, previously delivered to Purchaser (or Custodian, as the case may be).

RECORD TITLE TO MORTGAGE LOANS;
INTENT OF PARTIES; SECURITY INTEREST

Section 4.1   Title.

        Purchaser may elect, in its sole discretion, not to complete and record any Assignments in Blank for the sole purpose of facilitating the servicing of the related Mortgage Loan. In such event, Seller agrees until further notice to remain the last named payee or endorsee of each Mortgage Note and the mortgagee or assignee of record of each Mortgage in trust for the benefit of Purchaser.

Section 4.2   Books and Records.

        Seller shall maintain a complete set of books and records for each Purchased Loan, which shall be clearly marked to reflect the Purchaser’s ownership interest in such Purchased Loan.

Section 4.3   Security Interest.

        Without prejudice to the provisions of subsection 1.2.3 and the expressed intent of the parties, in the event, for any reason, any transaction involving a Mortgage Loan is construed by any Regulatory Authority as a borrowing rather than as a true sale and absolute conveyance, the Seller and Purchaser intend and agree that Purchaser shall have a perfected first priority security interest in the Purchased Items. In such case, Seller shall be deemed to have hereby granted to Purchaser (and possession of any promissory notes, instruments and documents by Custodian shall constitute possession on behalf of Purchaser for this purpose) a security interest in and lien upon the Purchased Items. In such an event, the Purchaser agrees that such security interest shall be of first priority and shall be free and clear of adverse claims, liens and interests. In such event, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement, the Custodian, if any, shall be deemed to be an independent custodian for purposes of perfection of the security interest granted to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall have all of the rights of a secured party under applicable law.

Section 4.4   Transfers of Mortgage Loans by Purchaser.

        For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, assign all of its right, title and interest in, or grant a security interest in, any Purchased Loan, subject only to its obligation to deliver such Purchased Loan to any Designated Investor pursuant to Section 2.7. Purchaser need give no notice of such assignment to Seller or the Takeout Investor. Assignment by Purchaser of the Mortgage Loans as provided in this Section 4.4 shall not release Purchaser from its obligations otherwise under this Agreement.
