On its Repurchase Date, termination of each Transaction will be effected by resale by Buyer to Seller or its designee of the Purchased Mortgage Loan that is the subject of the Transaction on a servicing released basis upon Buyer’s receipt of payment of the Repurchase Price therefor, on account of which Buyer will ship or authorize Seller or its counsel to ship to the relevant Approved Takeout Investor or Approved Custodian, or to Seller, as applicable, in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the related Mortgage Note, original in-blank Mortgage Assignment of the related Mortgage and other documents required by such Approved Takeout Investor’s Guide or guidelines. All such transfers to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, another Approved Takeout Investor or Seller are and shall be without recourse on Buyer and without any Buyer’s transfer warranties of UCC §3-417 or other warranty, express or implied.

(j)                 No Obligation to Transfer Purchased Mortgage Loans after an Event of Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, Buyer shall not be obligated to authorize or consent to the transfer of any Purchased Mortgage Loans to Seller or any Seller’s designee after Buyer, following the occurrence of an Event of Default has, pursuant to Section 11(d), either (x) given Seller credit for such Purchased Mortgage Loan or (y) elected to sell it.

(k)               Repurchase Funding; Repurchases after Default. In connection with any repurchase of a Purchased Mortgage Loan, Buyer will debit the Funding Account and Operating Account, if applicable, for the amount of the Repurchase Price. Without limiting Seller’s obligations hereunder, at any time after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, except for repurchases of Mortgage Loans or Pools of Mortgage Loans being sold to Approved Takeout Investors, Seller shall not be permitted to repurchase less than all of the Purchased Mortgage Loans without the prior written consent of Buyer, which may be granted or withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion.

(l)                 Reliance. With respect to any Transaction, Buyer may conclusively rely upon, and shall incur no liability to Seller in acting upon, any request or other communication that Buyer reasonably believes to have been given or made by a Person authorized to enter into a Transaction on Seller’s behalf.

(m)             Defective Mortgage Loans.

(i)                If, after Buyer purchases a Mortgage Loan, Buyer determines or receives notice (whether from Seller or otherwise) that a Purchased Mortgage Loan is (or has become) a Defective Mortgage Loan, upon Buyer’s election, Buyer may notify Seller, and Seller shall repurchase such Purchased Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price on the Early Repurchase Date (as such term is defined below).

(ii)              If Seller becomes obligated to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3(m)(i), Buyer shall promptly give Seller notice of such repurchase obligation and a calculation of the Repurchase Price therefor. On or before the second Business Day after such a notice is given (such day, the “Early Repurchase Date‎”‎), Seller shall repurchase the Defective Mortgage Loan by paying Buyer the Repurchase Price therefor. Buyer is authorized to charge any of Seller’s Accounts for such amount unless the Parties have agreed in writing to a different method of payment and Seller has paid such amount by such agreed method. If Seller’s Accounts do not contain sufficient funds to pay in full the amount due Buyer under this Section 3(m)(ii), or if the amount due is not paid by any applicable alternative method of payment previously agreed to by the Parties, Seller shall promptly deposit funds in the Operating Account sufficient to pay such amount due Buyer and notify Buyer of such deposit. After receipt of the payment of the Repurchase Price therefor from Seller, Buyer shall transfer such Purchased Mortgage Loans to Seller and deliver to Seller or Seller’s designee all original documents, if any, for the Mortgage Loan previously delivered to Buyer.

(a)               Accounts. Seller agrees to establish or cause to be established (i) each of the Accounts at Financial Institution on or before the date hereof and (ii) the Impound Collection Account and the Income Collection Account if and when required by Buyer for the purposes of Sections 11(b)(iii) and/or 11(b)(iv). Seller’s taxpayer identification number will be designated as the taxpayer identification number for each Account, the Impound Collection Account and Income Collection Account, and Seller shall be responsible for reporting and paying taxes on any income earned with respect to the Accounts, the Impound Collection Account and the Income Collection Account. Each such deposit account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Buyer, and Seller agrees that (i) Seller shall have no right or authority to withdraw or otherwise give any directions with respect to any of such deposit accounts or the disposition of any funds held in such deposit accounts; provided that Seller may cause amounts to be deposited into any such deposit account at any time, and (ii) Financial Institution may comply with instructions originated by Buyer directing disposition of the funds in such deposit accounts without further consent of Seller. Only employees of Buyer shall be signers with respect to such deposit accounts. Pursuant to Section 5, Seller has pledged, assigned, transferred and granted a security interest to Buyer in the Accounts, the Impound Collection Account and the Income Collection Account in which Seller has rights or power to transfer rights, or later acquires ownership, other rights or the power to transfer rights. Seller and Buyer hereby agree that Buyer has “control” of such deposit accounts within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC. Any provision hereof to the contrary notwithstanding and for the avoidance of doubt, Seller agrees and acknowledges that Buyer is not required to return to Seller funds on deposit in an Account or the Income Collection Account if any amounts are owed hereunder to Buyer by Seller.

(b)               Funding Account. The Funding Account shall be used for fundings of the Purchase Price and the Repurchase Price with respect to each Purchased Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 3. Seller shall cause all amounts to be paid in respect of the Purchase Commitments to be remitted by the relevant Approved Takeout Investor directly to Seller’s Funding Account without any requirement for any notice to or consent of Seller. On each Repurchase Date that occurs pursuant to Section 3(f) with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan, Buyer will apply the applicable amounts on deposit in the Funding Account to the unpaid Repurchase Price due to Buyer for such Purchased Mortgage Loan and, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer will transfer the remaining balance, if any, in the Funding Account to the Operating Account. At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Buyer, in its sole discretion, may apply the amounts on deposit in the Funding Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 4(e).

(c)               Operating Account.

(i)                 The Operating Account shall be used for the purposes of (1) Seller’s payment of Price Differential and any other amounts owing to Buyer under this Agreement, the Side Letter or any other Transaction Document, (2) Seller’s funding of any shortfall between (x) the proceeds of an Eligible Mortgage Loan being purchased by Buyer that are to be disbursed at its Origination and (y) the Purchase Price to be paid by Buyer for that Eligible Mortgage Loan and (3) Seller’s payment of any difference between the Repurchase Price and the amount received by Buyer from Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or another Approved Takeout Investor, as applicable, in connection with the repurchase of a Purchased Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3(k).

(ii)              On or before the fourth (4th) Business Day before each Remittance Date, Buyer will notify Seller in writing of the Price Differential and other amounts due Buyer on that Remittance Date. On or before the Business Day preceding each Remittance Date, Seller shall deposit into the Operating Account such cash, if any, as shall be required to make the balance in the Operating Account sufficient to pay all amounts due Buyer on that Remittance Date. On each Remittance Date, Buyer shall withdraw funds from the Operating Account to effect such payment to the extent of funds then available in the Operating Account. If the funds on deposit in the Operating Account are insufficient to pay the amounts then due Buyer in full, Seller shall pay the deficiency amount on the date such payment is due by wire transfer of such amount to the Operating Account, and Buyer shall withdraw the funds so deposited to pay such deficiency to the extent of the funds deposited.

(iii)            Funds deposited by Seller in the Operating Account to cover the shortfall, if any, referred to in clause (2) of Section 4(c)(i) will be disbursed by Buyer to the Closing Agent along with the Purchase Price of the related Eligible Mortgage Loan being purchased by Buyer to fund the Origination of such Mortgage Loan as provided in Section 3(a).

(iv)             At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer, in its sole discretion, may apply the amounts on deposit in the Operating Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 4(e).

(v)               Unless (1) a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (2) the balance in the Operating Account is equal to or less than any amounts then owing to Buyer or any Indemnified Party under this Agreement or another Transaction Document, Buyer may withdraw funds from the Operating Account.

(d)               Income Collection Accounts. Pursuant to Section 5, Seller has pledged, assigned and transferred the Income Collection Account to Buyer and granted Buyer a security interest in the Income Collection Account. No funds other than Income shall be deposited in the Income Collection Account. Where a particular Transaction’s term extends over the date on which Income is paid by the Mortgagor on any Purchased Mortgage Loan subject to that Transaction, that Income will be the property of Buyer until Seller has paid Buyer the full Repurchase Price in respect of such Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer agrees that Seller or its designee shall be entitled to receive and retain that Income to the full extent Seller would have been so entitled if the Purchased Mortgage Loans had not been sold to Buyer; provided that any Income received by Seller while the related Transaction is outstanding shall be deemed to be held by Seller solely in trust for Buyer pending the payment of the Repurchase Price in respect of such Transaction and the repurchase of the related Purchased Mortgage Loans, and if a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer may direct Seller in writing to deposit into the Income Collection Account (or such other account as Buyer may direct) (i) all Income then held by Seller in respect of Purchased Mortgage Loans subject to outstanding Transactions and (ii) all future Income in respect of Purchased Mortgage Loans subject to new or outstanding Transactions when received by Seller, and upon receipt of any such direction, Seller shall immediately cause all such Income then held to be deposited, and all such future Income to be deposited within one (1) Business Day after its receipt by Seller, into the Income Collection Account or to such other account as Buyer may direct.

(e)               Application of Funds. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at such times as Buyer may determine in its sole discretion, Buyer shall apply all Income and other amounts on deposit in all or any of the Accounts, other than mortgagors’ actual escrow payments held in any account and required to be used for the payment of Property Charges in respect of any Purchased Mortgage Loan, in the same order and manner as is provided in Section 11(e) for proceeds of dispositions of Purchased Mortgage Loans not repurchased by Seller.

(f)                Seller’s Obligations. The provisions of this Section 4 shall not relieve Seller from its obligations to pay the Repurchase Prices for the Purchased Mortgage Loans on the applicable Repurchase Dates and to satisfy any other payment obligation of Seller under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(a)               Security Interest. The Parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be absolute sales and purchases and not loans. However, in order to preserve Buyer’s rights under this Agreement in the event that a court or other forum recharacterizes the Transactions hereunder as loans and as security for the performance by Sellers of Seller’s Obligations, or in the event that a transfer of any Purchased Asset is otherwise ineffective as an outright transfer of such Purchased Asset to Buyer‎, 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 Buyer 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 hereunder (including, without limitation, all Servicing Rights with respect thereto), (ii) all Servicing Records, Mortgage Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the Mortgage Note and Mortgage, and all of Seller’s claims, liens, rights, title and interests in and to the Mortgaged Property in each case 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 Purchase Commitments and Forward Trade Commitments to the extent Seller’s rights thereunder relate to the Purchased Mortgage Loans and MBS, (vii) 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 (viii) all proceeds of the foregoing including, without limitation, 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 Repurchase Price has not been received by Buyer, irrespective of whether such Purchased Mortgage Loans have been released from this security interest. Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to file such financing statements and amendments relating to the Mortgage Assets as Buyer may deem appropriate, and irrevocably appoints Buyer as Seller’s attorney-in-fact to take such other actions as Buyer deems necessary or appropriate to perfect and continue the Lien granted hereby and to protect, preserve and realize on the Mortgage Assets. Seller shall pay all fees and expenses associated with perfecting such Liens including the cost of filing financing statements and amendments under the UCC and recording the Mortgage Assignments as and when required by Buyer in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) Mortgage Assets and any other collateral pledged or otherwise transferred to Buyer to secure the Obligations shall exclude (a) Fannie Mae Mortgage Servicing Rights, including, without limitation, any agreement between Fannie Mae and Seller or any Affiliate (“Seller Contract‎”‎) and all rights arising under any servicing contract pertaining to Mortgage Loans that have been sold to Fannie Mae (other than fee income, sale proceeds, and other amounts payable to Seller), (b) all custodial, clearing, suspense, escrow, and other accounts maintained by Seller for collection or processing of principal, interest, impound, or other payments with respect to Mortgage Loans serviced by Seller on behalf of Fannie Mae, (c) all funds held by Seller in any such account, and (d) Seller’s “Restricted Liquidity” held in Seller’s Fannie Mae Reserve Account, (ii) Buyer shall have no right to seize, retain, or reassign the servicing rights for any Mortgage Loan serviced by Seller for the benefit of Fannie Mae, unless approved in writing by Fannie Mae in its sole and absolute discretion, (iii) Buyer’s consent will not be required for any modification of the Fannie Mae Guide or the Seller Contract (including any Fannie Mae Purchase Commitment) and no such modification will constitute a breach of the Transaction Documents, (iv) Buyer will not assign, re-sell, re-pledge, or otherwise transfer any Purchased Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Assets; provided that Buyer may pledge Mortgage Assets to a Federal Reserve Bank or a Federal Home Loan Bank in connection with a simultaneous pledge of its corresponding rights as buyer under this Agreement, and (v) absent an Event of Default, Buyer is prohibited from recording an assignment of mortgage or similar instrument relating to any Purchased Mortgage Loan; provided that Buyer may file a precautionary UCC financing statement with respect to a Purchased Mortgage Loan in order to protect its rights as buyer under this Agreement.

(b)               Security Agreement or Arrangement or Other Credit Enhancement. The Parties intend that Section 5(a) is “a security agreement or arrangement or other credit enhancement”, as defined and described in Sections 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(ix) of the Bankruptcy Code, related to the repurchase agreement and securities contract established and evidenced by this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder.

(c)               Assignment of Purchase Commitment. The sale of each Mortgage Loan to Buyer shall include Seller’s rights (but none of the obligations) under the applicable Purchase Commitment to deliver the Mortgage Loan to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or another Approved Takeout Investor, as applicable, and to receive the net sum therefor provided for in the relevant Purchase Commitment from Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or the Approved Takeout Investor, as applicable. Effective on and after the Purchase Date for each Mortgage Loan purchased by Buyer hereunder, Seller assigns to Buyer, free and clear of any Lien, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in the applicable Purchase Commitment for such Mortgage Loan and any related Forward Trade Commitment; provided that Buyer shall not assume or be deemed to have assumed any of the obligations of Seller under any Purchase Commitment or Forward Trade Commitment.

(i)                 impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, Buyer (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

(ii)              impose on Buyer or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Transactions entered into by Buyer;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to Buyer of making or maintaining any purchase hereunder (or of maintaining its obligation to enter into any Transaction) or to increase the cost or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Buyer (whether of Repurchase Price, Price Differential or otherwise), then Seller will pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)               If Buyer reasonably determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s capital or on the capital of Buyer’s holding company as a consequence of this Agreement or the purchases made by Buyer under this Agreement to a level below that which Buyer or Buyer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration Buyer’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Buyer in good faith to be material, then from time to time Seller will pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer or Buyer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

Seller shall, and shall cause any other holder on Seller’s behalf, including any financial or securities intermediary, to identify on its books and records, all documents relating to Purchased Mortgage Loans that are in the possession of Seller or such other holder, as subject to this Agreement. All of Seller’s interest in each Purchased Mortgage Loan (including the Servicing Rights) shall pass to Buyer on its Purchase Date and nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer 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 Buyer of its obligations to transfer the Purchased Mortgage Loans to Seller pursuant to Section 3(f), Section 3(m)(ii) or Section 21(b).

(a)               To induce Buyer to enter into this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder, Seller and Parent represent and warrant as of the date of this Agreement and as of each Purchase Date that each of the following statements is and shall remain true and correct throughout the term of this Agreement and until all obligations, liabilities and indebtedness of Seller under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are paid in full:

(i)                 Organization and Good Standing; Subsidiaries. Seller warrants and represents that it is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Parent warrants and represents that it is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland. Seller has furnished to Buyer a true and complete copy of its certificate or formation as in effect as of the date of this Agreement, including all amendments thereto, and agrees to furnish to Buyer a true and complete copy of any amendment adopted after the date of this Agreement promptly after it is adopted. Seller and its Subsidiaries each has full legal power and authority to own its property and to carry on its business as currently conducted, and is duly qualified as a foreign limited liability company to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary, except in jurisdictions, if any, where a failure to be in good standing has no material adverse effect on its business, operations, assets or financial condition. For the purposes hereof, good standing shall include qualification for any and all licenses and payment of any and all taxes required in the jurisdiction of its organization and in each jurisdiction in which Seller or a Subsidiary transacts business. Seller has no Subsidiaries except as set forth in Exhibit D which lists the Subsidiaries as of the date of this Agreement, or as have been subsequently disclosed by it to Buyer in writing. With respect to Seller and each such Subsidiary, Exhibit D correctly states its name as it appears in its articles of formation filed in the jurisdiction of its organization, address, place of organization, each state in which it is qualified as a foreign corporation or entity, and in the case of the Subsidiaries, the percentage ownership (direct or indirect) of Seller in such Subsidiary.

(ii)              Authority and Capacity. Seller has all requisite power, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and each other Transaction Document and to perform the obligations required of it hereunder and thereunder. Parent has all requisite power, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and its Guaranty and to perform the obligations required of it hereunder and thereunder. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the valid and legally binding agreements of Seller, and this Agreement and its Guaranty constitute the valid and legally binding agreements of Parent, respectively enforceable in accordance with their terms (whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law), except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, conservatorship and similar laws, and by equitable principles. No consent, approval, authorization, license or order of or registration or filing with, or notice to, any Governmental Authority is required under any Requirement of Law before the execution, delivery and performance of or compliance by Seller with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the consummation by Seller of any transaction contemplated thereby, except for those that have already been obtained by Seller, and the filings and recordings in respect of the Liens created pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. No consent, approval, authorization, license or order of or registration or filing with, or notice to, any Governmental Authority is required under any Requirement of Law before the execution, delivery and performance of or compliance by Parent with this Agreement or the Guaranty or the consummation by Parent of any transaction contemplated thereby, except for those that have already been obtained by Parent. If either Seller or Guaranty is a depository institution, this Agreement is a part of, and will be maintained in, its official records.

(iii)            No Conflict. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor compliance with its terms and conditions, shall conflict with or result in the breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than Liens created pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents) of any nature upon the properties or assets of Seller or Guaranty under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of Seller’s or Parent’s organizational documents, or any mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Seller or Parent is now a party or by which it is bound (other than this Agreement and the Guaranty, as applicable) or require any consent under any such mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement or, instrument where the conflict, breach, default or nonconsent could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of Seller’s or Parent’s property or assets except the Lien in favor of Buyer securing Seller’s obligations hereunder, or result in or permit the acceleration of any of its debt pursuant to any agreement, instrument or indenture to which Seller or Parent is a party or by which it or its property may be bound or affected.

(iv)             Performance. Seller does not believe, nor does it have any reason or cause to believe, that it cannot perform, and Seller intends to perform, each and every covenant that it is required to perform under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

(v)               Ordinary Course Transaction. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are in the ordinary course of business of Seller, and neither the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of Mortgage Loans to Buyer nor the pledge, assignment, transfer and granting of a security interest to Buyer in the Mortgage Assets, by Seller pursuant to this Agreement is subject to the bulk transfer or any similar Requirement of Law in effect in any applicable jurisdiction.

(vi)             Litigation; Compliance with Laws. There is no Litigation pending or, to Seller’s knowledge threatened, that could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect or that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Mortgage Loans sold or to be sold pursuant to this Agreement. Seller has not violated any Requirement of Law applicable to Seller that, if violated, would materially and adversely affect the Mortgage Loans to be sold pursuant to this Agreement or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no Litigation pending or, to Parent’s knowledge threatened, that could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect. Parent has not violated any Requirement of Law applicable to Parent that, if violated, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(vii)          Approved Company. Seller currently holds all approvals, authorizations and other licenses from the Agencies required under the Guides (or otherwise) to Originate, hold, service and sell Multifamily Loans.

(viii)        Fidelity Bonds. Seller has purchased fidelity bonds and policies of insurance, all of which are in full force and effect, insuring Seller in the greater of (a) Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) and (b) the amount required by the Agencies, against loss or damage from any breach of fidelity by Seller or any officer, director, employee or agent of Seller, and against any loss or damage from loss or destruction of documents, fraud, theft or misappropriation, or errors or omissions, and endorsed to provide that for any loss affecting Buyer’s interest, Buyer will be named on the loss payable draft as its interest may appear.

(ix)             Solvency. Both as of the date hereof and immediately after giving effect to each Transaction hereunder, the ‎fair value of Seller’s assets is greater than the fair value of Seller’s liabilities (including contingent ‎liabilities if and to the extent required to be recorded as liabilities on the financial statements of ‎Seller in accordance with GAAP), and Seller (1) is not insolvent (as defined in 11 U.S.C. § ‎‎101(32)), (2) is able to pay and intends to pay its debts as they mature and (3) does not have an ‎unreasonably small capital to engage in the business in which it is engaged and proposes to ‎engage. Seller does not intend to incur, or believe that it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to ‎pay such debts as they mature. Seller is not transferring any Loans with any intent to hinder, ‎delay or defraud any Person.‎

(x)               Reporting. In its financial statements, Seller intends to report each sale of a Mortgage Loan hereunder as a financing in accordance with GAAP. Seller has been advised by or confirmed with its independent public accountants that such sales can be so reported under GAAP on its financial statements.

(xi)             Financial Condition. The balance sheets of Parent (and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis) and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows (“Financial Statements‎”‎) for the fiscal year ended on the Statement Date (the “Statement Date Financial Statements‎”‎) heretofore furnished to Buyer, fairly present the financial condition of Parent (and its consolidated Subsidiaries) on a basis as of the Statement Date and the results of its operations for the fiscal period ended on the Statement Date. On the Statement Date, Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries did not have either any known material liabilities — direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured — other than the contingent liabilities (if any) set forth on Schedule 9(a)(xi) and contingent liability on endorsements of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection in the ordinary course of business, or any known material liabilities for sales, long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, which are not disclosed by the Statement Date Financial Statements or reserved against in them or that have not been otherwise disclosed to Buyer in writing. Parent and Seller are each currently Solvent, and since the Statement Date, (i) there has been no Material Adverse Effect related to Parent (and its Subsidiaries), nor is Seller or Parent aware of any state of facts which (with or without notice, the lapse of time or both) would or could result in any such Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) there have been no material unrealized or anticipated losses from any loans, advances or other commitments of Seller (and its Subsidiaries).

(xii)          Regulation U. Neither Seller nor Parent is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying ‎Margin Stock, or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock, and ‎no part of the proceeds of Buyer’s purchases of Mortgage Loans hereunder will be used to ‎purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or ‎carrying any Margin Stock. Following the application of the proceeds of each such purchase, not ‎more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the value of the assets (either of Seller only or of Seller ‎and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) will be Margin Stock.‎

(xiii)        Investment Company Act. Neither Seller nor Parent or any of its other Subsidiaries is required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(xiv)         Agreements. Neither Seller nor Parent or any of its other Subsidiaries is a party to any agreement, instrument or indenture, or subject to any restriction, materially or adversely affecting its business, operations, assets or financial condition, except as disclosed in the financial statements described in Section 10(h). None of Seller’s Subsidiaries is subject to any dividend restriction imposed by a Governmental Authority other than those under applicable statutory law. Neither Seller nor Parent or any of Seller’s Subsidiaries is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement, instrument or indenture which default could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No holder of any Debt of Seller or of any of its Subsidiaries has given notice of any alleged default thereunder, or, if given, the same has been cured or will be cured by Seller or the relevant Subsidiary within the cure period provided therein. No Act of Insolvency with respect to Seller or Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective properties, is pending, contemplated or, to the knowledge of Seller or Parent, threatened.

(xv)           Title to Properties. Seller and its Subsidiaries have good, valid, insurable (in the case of real property) and marketable title to (i) all of its material Properties and assets (whether real or personal, tangible or intangible) that are reflected on or referred to in the Statement Date Financial Statements or in the more current Financial Statements (if any) most recently furnished to Buyer after the date of this Agreement, except for such properties and assets as have been disposed of since the date of such current Financial Statements either in the ordinary course of business or because they were no longer used or useful in the conduct of its business, and all such Properties and assets are free and clear of all Liens except for (i) the lien of current (nondelinquent) real and personal property taxes and assessments, (ii) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters to which like properties are commonly subject that do not materially interfere with the use of the property as it is currently being used, (iii) purchase money and financing Liens against equipment or other personal property and the other Liens described in Schedule 9(a)(xv); (iv) such other Liens, if any, as are disclosed in such Financial Statements and (v) Permitted Encumbrances.

(xvi)         ERISA. All plans (“Plans‎”‎) of a type described in Section 3(3) of ERISA in respect of which Seller or any Subsidiary of Seller is an “employer,” as defined in Section 3(5) of ERISA, are in substantial compliance with ERISA, and none of such Plans is insolvent or in reorganization, has an accumulated or waived funding deficiency within the meaning of Section 412 of the IRC, and neither Seller nor any Subsidiary of Seller has incurred any material liability (including any material contingent liability) to or on account of any such Plan pursuant to Sections 4062, 4063, 4064, 4201 or 4204 of ERISA. No proceedings have been instituted to terminate any such Plan, and no condition exists that presents a material risk to Seller or a Subsidiary of Seller of incurring a liability to or on account of any such Plan pursuant to any of the foregoing Sections of ERISA. No material liability exists with respect to any Plan in which Seller, Parent or any other Subsidiary Parent is an “employer”, or any trust forming a part thereof, that has been terminated since December 1, 1974.

The amounts reserved, as a liability for income and other taxes payable, in the financial statements described in Section 10(h) are sufficient for payment of all unpaid federal, state and local income, excise, property and other taxes, whether or not disputed, of Seller and its Subsidiaries, accrued for or applicable to the period and on the dates of such financial statements and all years and periods prior thereto and for which Seller and Seller’s Subsidiaries may be liable in their own right or as transferee of the assets of, or as successor to, any other Person.

(i)                 Seller is approved by either Ginnie Mae as an approved issuer, Fannie Mae as an approved lender, Freddie Mac as an approved seller/servicer (as the case may be), and by FHA as an approved mortgagee, in each case in good standing (such approvals and conditions, collectively, “Agency Approvals”), with no event having occurred or Seller’s having any reason whatsoever to believe or suspect will occur prior to the issuance of the related MBS, including a change in insurance coverage, that would either make Seller unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for maintaining all such Agency Approvals or require notification to the relevant Agency or to HUD or FHA. Should Seller for any reason cease to possess all such Agency Approvals, or should notification to the relevant Agency or to HUD or FHA be required, Seller shall so notify Buyer immediately in writing. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Seller shall take all necessary action to maintain all of its Agency Approvals at all times during the term of this Agreement and each outstanding Transaction. Seller has adequate financial standing, servicing facilities, procedures and experienced personnel necessary for the sound servicing of mortgage loans of the same types as may from time to time constitute Pooled Loans.

(ii)              Each Pooled Loan is an Agency Eligible Mortgage Loan.

(iii)            All of the representations and warranties made or deemed made respecting such Pooled Loan contained in (or incorporated by reference in) the relevant Guide (collectively, the “Standard Agency Mortgage Loan Representations‎”‎) are (and will be as of all relevant dates) true and correct in all material respects, and any material exceptions or modifications to such Standard Agency Mortgage Loan Representations have been approved by the related Agency.

(v)               The MBS to be issued on account of the Pooled Loans is covered by a Purchase Commitment and does not exceed the availability under such Purchase Commitment. Each Purchase Commitment is a legal, valid and binding obligation of an Approved Takeout Investor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

Each time Seller delivers or causes to be delivered to Buyer a copy (instead of the original) of any document pursuant or relating to this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any Transaction, Seller shall be deemed to warrant, represent and certify to Buyer at the time of delivery that such copy is a true, correct and complete copy of the original of that document unless such document is accompanied by Seller’s written statement that such document is incorrect or incomplete in the manner specified in such statement.

(e)               Survival of Representations. All the representations and warranties made by Seller to Buyer in this Agreement are binding on Seller regardless of whether the subject matter thereof was under the control of Seller or a third party. Seller acknowledges that Buyer will rely upon all such representations and warranties with respect to each Purchased Mortgage Loan purchased by Buyer hereunder, and Seller makes such representations and warranties in order to induce Buyer to purchase the Mortgage Loans. The representations and warranties by Seller in this Agreement with respect to a Purchased Mortgage Loan shall be unaffected by, and shall supersede and control over, any provision in any existing or future endorsement of any Purchased Mortgage Loan or in any Assignment of Mortgage with respect to such Purchased Mortgage Loan to the effect that such endorsement or assignment is without recourse or without representation or warranty. All Seller’s representations and warranties shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Note and other Mortgage Loan Documents and the Loan Purchase Detail, the purchase by Buyer of Purchased Mortgage Loans, transfer of the servicing for the Purchased Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer, delivery of Purchased Mortgage Loans to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, delivery of MBS to an Approved Takeout Investor, repurchases of the Purchased Mortgage Loans by Seller and termination of this Agreement. The representations and warranties of Seller in this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Buyer and its successors and assigns, notwithstanding any examination by Buyer of any Mortgage Loan Documents, related files or other documents delivered to Buyer.

(ii)           (A)       All payments made by Seller under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto imposed by any Governmental Authority, excluding taxes imposed on (or measured by) its net income (however denominated) or capital, 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, “Taxes‎”‎), all of which shall be paid by Seller for its own account not later than the date when due. If Seller is required by any Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder, it 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 due, (c) deliver to Buyer, promptly, original tax receipts and other evidence satisfactory to Buyer of the payment when due of the full amount of such Taxes and (d) pay to Buyer such additional amounts as may be necessary so that such Buyer receives, free and clear of all 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, Seller agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with all applicable Requirements of Law any current or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including 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)       Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including additional amounts with respect thereto), and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 10(f), and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, provided that Buyer shall have provided Seller with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Seller, of payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, as the case may be.

(D)       Any assignee of Buyer that is not incorporated or otherwise created under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia (a “Foreign Buyer‎”‎) shall provide Seller with properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying (X) that such Foreign Buyer is either (1) entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party that eliminates United States withholding tax under Sections 1441 through 1442 of the Code on payments to it or (2) otherwise fully exempts from United States withholding tax under Sections 1441 through 1442 of the Code on payments to it, or (Y) that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, on or before the date upon which each such Foreign Buyer becomes a purchaser of Mortgage Loans hereunder. Each Foreign Buyer will resubmit the appropriate form on the earliest of (x) the third anniversary of the prior submission or (y) on or before the expiration of thirty (30) days after there is a “change in circumstances” with respect to such Foreign Buyer as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.1441(e)(4)(ii)(D). For any period with respect to which a Foreign Buyer has failed to provide Seller with the appropriate form or other relevant document pursuant to this Section 10(f)(ii) (unless such failure is due to a change in any Requirement of Law occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Foreign Buyer shall not be entitled to any “gross-up” of Taxes or indemnification under this Section 10(f) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that should a Foreign Buyer, that is otherwise exempt from a withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, Seller shall take such steps as such Foreign Buyer shall reasonably request to assist such Foreign Buyer to recover such Taxes.

(E)       Without prejudice to the survival or any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 10(f) shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 10(f) shall require Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

(F)       Each Party acknowledges that it is its intent, for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes only, to treat each purchase transaction hereunder as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Mortgage Loans and that the Purchased Mortgage Loans are owned by Seller in the absence of an Event of Default by Seller. All Parties agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment unless required by law.

(g)               Insurance. Seller shall maintain, at no cost to Buyer, (a) errors and omissions insurance or mortgage impairment insurance and blanket bond coverage, with such companies and in such amounts as to satisfy the current requirements of the relevant Guide applicable to a qualified mortgage originating institution, and shall cause Seller’s policy to be endorsed with the Blanket Bond Required Endorsement and (b) liability insurance and fire and other hazard insurance on its properties, with responsible insurance companies reasonably acceptable to Buyer, in such amounts and against such risks as is customarily carried by similar businesses operating in the same vicinity.

(i)             accelerate the Repurchase Date of each outstanding Transaction whose Repurchase Date has not already occurred and cancel any Transaction whose Purchase Date has not yet occurred;

(ii)            terminate and replace Seller as interim servicer with respect to any Mortgage Assets at the cost and expense of Seller;

(iii)          direct Seller to cause all Income to be transferred into the Income Collection Account and all escrow payments received to be deposited in the Impound Collection Account within one (1) Business Day after receipt by Seller;

(iv)           direct, or cause Seller to direct, all Mortgagors to remit all Income directly to an account specified by Buyer;

(v)            direct any Closing Agent or other bailee in possession of any Mortgage Note or other Mortgage Loan Document for any Purchased Mortgage Loan to deliver the same to Buyer or its designee (Buyer agrees to not do so unless an Event of Default has occurred); and

(vi)           terminate any commitment of Buyer to purchase Mortgage Loans under this Agreement or otherwise.

(c)               If Buyer has exercised its option under Section 11(b)(i), then (i) Seller’s obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Mortgage Loans then subject to outstanding Transactions shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (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 (x) the greater of (i) the Pricing Rate for such Transaction and (ii) the Prime Rate plus five percent (5%) to (y) the Repurchase Price for such Transaction as of the accelerated Repurchase Date as determined pursuant to Section 11(b) (decreased as of any day by (A) any amounts retained by Buyer with respect to such Repurchase Price pursuant to Section 11(b)(iii) and 11(b)(iv) and (B) any proceeds from the sale of Purchased Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 11(d), on a 360 day per year basis for the actual number of days during the period from and including the date of the Event of Default giving rise to such option to but excluding the date of payment of the Repurchase Price as so increased), (iii) all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be paid over to and retained by Buyer and shall be applied to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and all other amounts owed by Seller to Buyer or any other Indemnified Party under the Transaction Documents, (iv) in accordance with Section 4, all amounts on deposit in the Accounts, shall be applied by Buyer to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and all other amounts owed by Seller to Buyer or any other Indemnified Party under the Transaction Documents, (v) Seller shall, if directed by Buyer in writing, immediately deliver to Buyer any documents then in Seller’s possession relating to any Purchased Mortgage Loans subject to such Transactions and (vi) Buyer may, by notice to Seller, declare the Termination Date to have occurred.

(d)               Upon the exercise by Buyer of its option under Section 11(b)(i), without prior notice to Seller, Buyer may (A) immediately sell, on a servicing released or servicing retained basis as Buyer deems desirable, in a recognized market at such price or prices as Buyer may in its sole discretion deem satisfactory, any or all Purchased Mortgage Loans and MBS subject to such Transactions and apply the proceeds thereof to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by Seller to Buyer or any other Indemnified Party under the Transaction Documents or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Mortgage Loans and MBS, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Mortgage Loans in an amount equal to the Market Value therefor on such date against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by Seller to Buyer or any other Indemnified Party under the Transaction Documents.

(e)               The proceeds of any disposition or the amount of any credit described above shall be applied first, to the costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default (including legal fees, consulting fees, accounting fees, file transfer and inventory fees, costs and expenses incurred in respect of a transfer of the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and costs and expenses incurred in connection with a disposition of the Purchased Mortgage Loans); second, to costs of cover and/or related hedging transactions; third, to the aggregate and accrued Price Differential owed hereunder, fourth, to the remaining aggregate Repurchase Prices owed hereunder; fifth, to any other accrued and unpaid obligations of Seller hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and sixth, any remaining proceeds shall be paid to Seller or other Person legally entitled thereto.

(f)                The Parties acknowledge and agree that:

(i)             Buyer has no desire or intention to hold any of the Purchased Mortgage Loans or MBS for investment under any circumstances, and if (x) Seller fails to repurchase any Purchased Mortgage Loan or MBS when required to do so by this Agreement, whether before or after its termination, or (y) any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (z) Buyer has not made an affirmative election under the circumstances then prevailing to retain such Purchased Mortgage Loan or MBS pursuant to clause (B) of Section 11(d), Buyer will sell it (i) if practicable and if the sale can be made without Buyer’s having to undertake representation, warranty or other obligations that Buyer, acting in its sole discretion, considers unacceptable, to the relevant Approved Takeout Investor (if any), or (ii) by private sale to another Person in the secondary mortgage market or securities market, as applicable, undertaking only such representation, warranty and other obligations, if any, to such Person as Buyer, acting in its sole discretion, considers acceptable, at the earliest reasonable opportunity and for such price as Buyer, acting in its sole discretion, determines to be the optimal price available at the time of such sale; provided that if at any time Buyer determines that the secondary market for Multifamily Mortgage Loans or securities market, as applicable, is illiquid, disrupted or dysfunctional, Buyer may elect to postpone sales of Purchased Mortgage Loans or MBS or both for so long as Buyer determines that any such market conditions persist, and no such delay shall be construed to constitute or require a change in the classification of the Purchased Mortgage Loans or MBS in Buyer’s hands from “held for sale” to “held for investment”, and in all cases, to the maximum extent not prohibited by applicable law, their Market Value shall be the only “reasonable determinant of value” of Purchased Mortgage Loans or MBS for purposes of Section 562 of the Bankruptcy Code;

(ii)            in the absence (whether because of market disruptions or for any other reason whatsoever) of a generally recognized source for secondary mortgage market prices of, or for bid or offer quotations for, any one or more Purchased Mortgage Loans at any time, whether before or after any termination of this Agreement, if Buyer elects to determine the Market Values of Purchased Mortgage Loans, Buyer may use such means, methods, averaging, weighting, calculations and assumptions as it shall determine in its sole discretion to be appropriate, and Buyer’s determination shall be conclusive and binding, absent manifest error, for all purposes, it being the Parties’ specific intention to include therein the purposes of Sections 559 and 562 of the Bankruptcy Code; and

(iii)           in determining the Market Value of any Purchased Mortgage Loans, it is reasonable for Buyer to use and rely on the information regarding such Purchased Mortgage Loans provided by Seller without being required to check or verify the accuracy or completeness of such information.

(g)               The Parties further recognize that if, under the circumstances described in clause (x) or clause (y) of Section 11(f)(i), Buyer has elected to sell Purchased Mortgage Loans, the market for Mortgage Loans may then be insufficiently liquid or dysfunctional in other respects, they agree that Buyer may elect the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Mortgage Loan, and nothing contained herein shall obligate Buyer (i) to liquidate any Purchased Mortgage Loan immediately after Seller’s failure to repurchase it when required by this Agreement, the occurrence of an Event of Default or any termination of this Agreement, or (ii) to liquidate all Purchased Mortgage Loans in the same manner or on the same day, and no exercise by Buyer of any right or remedy shall constitute a waiver of any other right or remedy. Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (i) the amount of all reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, (ii) damages in an amount equal to the cost (including all fees, expenses and commissions reasonably incurred) of entering into replacement transactions and entering into or terminating hedge transactions in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default and (iii) any other loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(h)               To the extent permitted by applicable law, Seller shall be liable to Buyer for interest on any amounts owing by Seller hereunder, from the date Seller becomes liable for such amounts hereunder until such amounts are (i) paid in full by or on behalf of Seller or (ii) satisfied in full by the exercise of Buyer’s rights hereunder. Interest on any sum payable by Seller to Buyer under this Section 11(h) shall be at a rate equal to the greater of (x) the Pricing Rate for the relevant Transaction and (y) the Prime Rate plus five percent (5%).

(i)                 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights hereunder, any rights otherwise available to it under any other agreement entered into in connection with the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, under applicable law or in equity.

(j)                 Seller hereby acknowledges, admits and agrees that Seller’s obligations under this Agreement are recourse obligations of Seller.

(k)               Notwithstanding any optionality that is otherwise available to Buyer pursuant to this Section 11, before exercising any of the remedies set forth therein with respect to a Purchased Mortgage Loan that is subject to a takeout commitment of Fannie Mae, Buyer shall be obligated to deliver to Fannie Mae a written offer to sell such Purchased Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions of such takeout commitment. If Fannie Mae either (i) expressly declines to purchase a Purchased Mortgage Loan that has been so offered for sale, or (ii) fails to respond to Buyer within ten (10) Business Days after receiving such an offer, whichever first occurs, then Buyer shall be free to make an election of remedies as specified in this Section 11 with respect to such Purchased Mortgage Loan. For purposes of clarification, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Seller and Buyer confirm that any such sale of a Purchased Mortgage Loan to Fannie Mae shall be on a servicing-released basis and subject to all applicable Agency requirements; provided that Buyer shall not be required to undertake any representation or warranty that Buyer considers unacceptable in its sole discretion. The parties acknowledge that Fannie Mae is a third party beneficiary of this Section 11(k) and shall deliver such further assurances as Fannie Mae may reasonably require. Lender acknowledges that the execution and delivery of such further assurances are within the scope of the power of attorney set forth in Section 18.

(a)               As a condition of purchasing an Eligible Mortgage Loan, Buyer hereby engages Seller to interim service such Purchased Mortgage Loan as agent for Buyer for a term (the “Interim Servicing Term‎”‎) commencing on the Purchase Date of such Purchased Mortgage Loan and ending on the first Remittance Date thereafter, as such term may be renewed from time to time as provided in Section 12(a)(v), on the following terms and conditions:

   (i)                 Seller shall interim service and temporarily administer the Purchased Mortgage Loan on behalf of Buyer in accordance with prudent mortgage loan servicing standards and procedures generally accepted in the mortgage banking industry and in accordance with all applicable requirements of the Agencies, Requirements of Law, the provisions of any applicable servicing agreement, and the requirements of any applicable Purchase Commitment and the Approved Takeout Investor, so that the eligibility of the Purchased Mortgage Loan for purchase under such Purchase Commitment is not voided or reduced by such interim servicing and temporary administration.

   (ii)              ‎If any Eligible Mortgage Loan that is proposed to be sold on a Purchase ‎Date is serviced by a servicer other than Seller or any of its Affiliates (a “Subservicer”), or if ‎the interim servicing of any Purchased Mortgage Loan is to be transferred to a Subservicer, each ‎Seller shall provide a copy of the related subservicing agreement and a Subservicer Instruction ‎Letter executed by such Subservicer (collectively, the “Subservicing Agreement”) to Buyer ‎before such Purchase Date or interim servicing transfer date, as applicable. Each such ‎Subservicing Agreement shall be in form and substance acceptable to Buyer. In addition, ‎Seller shall have obtained the prior written consent of Buyer for such Subservicer to subservice ‎Purchased Mortgage Loans, which consent may be withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion. In no event ‎shall Seller’s use of a Subservicer relieve Seller of its obligations hereunder, and ‎Seller shall remain liable under this Agreement as if Seller were interim servicing such Purchased ‎Mortgage Loans directly. Any termination of Seller as interim servicer shall automatically ‎terminate each Subservicer. If any Agency or Governmental Authority revokes or ‎materially restricts any Subservicer’s authority to originate, sell or service Mortgage Loans, or if ‎any Subservicer shall fail to meet all requisite originator, seller and servicer eligibility ‎qualifications promulgated by any Agency, Buyer may direct Seller to immediately terminate ‎such Subservicer as a subservicer of any or all of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Seller ‎shall promptly cause the termination of such Subservicer as directed by Buyer.‎

   (iii)            Seller acknowledges that it has no right, title or interest in the Servicing Rights for any Purchased Mortgage Loan, and agrees that it may not transfer or assign any rights to master service, service, interim service, subservice or administer any Purchased Mortgage Loan before Seller’s repurchase thereof from Buyer (by payment to Buyer of the Repurchase Price on the applicable Repurchase Date) other than an interim servicing transfer to a Subservicer approved by Buyer pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement approved by Buyer as described above in this Section 12.

   (iv)             Seller shall deliver all physical and contractual servicing materials, files and records for the servicing of each Purchased Mortgage Loan, together with all of the related Servicing Records that are not already in Buyer’s possession, to Buyer’s designee upon the earliest of (w) the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default hereunder unless Buyer gives written notice to Seller that the Interim Servicing Term is renewed and specifying the renewal term, (x) the expiration (and non-renewal) of the Interim Servicing Term or (y) the transfer of servicing to any entity approved by Buyer and the assumption thereof by such entity. Seller’s transfer of the Servicing Records and the physical and such contractual servicing materials, files and records under this Section 12(a)(iv) shall be in accordance with customary standards in the industry and such transfer shall include the transfer of the gross amount of all escrows held for the related mortgagors without reduction for unreimbursed advances or “negative escrows”.

   (v)               The Interim Servicing Term will be deemed renewed on each Remittance Date following the second Remittance Date after the related Purchase Date for a renewal term extending to the next succeeding Remittance Date unless (i) Seller has sooner been terminated as interim servicer of all of the Purchased Mortgaged Loans or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred on or before such Remittance Date, in which latter event the Interim Servicing Term will expire on such Remittance Date unless Buyer gives written notice to Seller that the Interim Servicing Term is renewed and specifying the renewal term.

   (vi)             The Interim Servicing Term will automatically terminate and Seller shall have no further obligation to interim service such Purchased Mortgage Loan as agent for Buyer or to make the delivery of documents required under this Section 12, upon receipt by Buyer of the Repurchase Price therefor.

   (vii)          Buyer has no obligation to pay Seller a fee for the interim servicing obligations Seller agrees to assume hereunder, no fee or other compensation will ever accrue or be or become owing, due or payable for or on account of such interim servicing and such interim servicing rights have no monetary value.

(b)               During the period Seller is interim servicing the Purchased Mortgage Loans as agent for Buyer, Seller agrees that Buyer is the owner of the related Servicing Rights, Credit Files and Servicing Records and Seller, acting as interim servicer, shall at all times maintain and safeguard the Credit File for the Purchased Mortgage Loan (including photocopies or images of the documents delivered to Buyer), and accurate and complete records of its interim servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loan, Seller’s possession of the Credit Files and Servicing Records being for the sole purpose of interim servicing such Purchased Mortgage Loans and such retention and possession by Seller being in a temporary custodial capacity only.

(c)               Seller further covenants as follows:

   (i)                 Buyer may, at any time during Seller’s business hours on reasonable notice (provided that after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, no notice shall be required), examine and make copies of all such documents and records relating to interim servicing and administration of the Purchased Mortgage Loans;

   (ii)              At Buyer’s request, Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer reports regarding the status of any Purchased Mortgage Loan being interim serviced by Seller, which reports shall include a description of any event that would cause the Purchased Mortgage Loan to become a Defaulted Loan or a Defective Mortgage Loan or any other circumstances that could cause a material adverse effect on such Purchased Mortgage Loan, Buyer’s title to or security interest in such Purchased Mortgage Loan or the collateral securing it; Seller may be required to deliver such reports until the repurchase of the Purchased Mortgage Loan by Seller;

   (iii)            Seller shall immediately notify Buyer if it becomes aware of any payment default that occurs under any Purchased Mortgage Loan; and

   (iv)             If, during the Post-Origination Period, any Mortgagor contacts Seller requesting a payoff quote on the related Purchased Mortgage Loan, Seller shall ensure that any payoff quote provided requires Mortgagor to wire payoff funds directly to the Funding Account and includes wiring instructions therefor.

(d)               Seller shall release its custody of the contents of any Credit File only (i) in accordance with the written instructions of Buyer, (ii) when such release is required as incidental to Seller’s servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loan, or is required to fulfill the related Purchase Commitment or comply with the relevant Guide, or (iii) as required by any Requirements of Law.

(e)               Buyer shall have the right to appoint a successor interim servicer, or a regular servicer, to service any Purchased Mortgage Loan (each a “Successor Servicer‎”‎) at any time (i) after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, or (ii) before the pending expiration of the Interim Servicing Term (such appointment pursuant to this clause (ii) to be effective upon such expiration). If Buyer elects to make such an appointment after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, Seller shall be assessed all costs and expenses incurred by Buyer associated with transferring the physical and contractual servicing materials, files and records for the servicing of each Purchased Mortgage Loan, together with all related Servicing Records, to the Successor Servicer. In the event of such an appointment, Seller shall perform all acts and take all action so that any part of the Credit File and related Servicing Records held by Seller, together with any and all mortgagors’ escrow payments held in any account and all other receipts relating to such Purchased Mortgage Loan, are promptly delivered to the Successor Servicer, and shall otherwise fully cooperate with Buyer in effectuating such transfer. Seller shall have no claim for lost interim servicing income, any termination fee, lost profits or other damages if Buyer appoints a Successor Servicer hereunder. Buyer may, in its sole discretion if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without payment of any termination fee or any other amount to Seller, sell any or all of the Purchased Mortgage Loans on a servicing released basis, at the sole cost and expense of Seller.

(f)                In the event Seller is terminated as interim servicer of any Purchased Mortgage Loan, whether by expiry of the Interim Servicing Term or by any other means, Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in effecting such termination and transferring all authority to interim service such Purchased Mortgage Loan to the Successor Servicer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller shall, in the manner and at such times as the Successor Servicer or Buyer shall reasonably request (i) promptly transfer all data in its possession relating to the applicable Purchased Mortgage Loans and other Mortgage Assets to the Successor Servicer in such electronic format as the Successor Servicer may reasonably request, (ii) promptly transfer to the Successor Servicer, Buyer or Buyer’s designee all other files, records, correspondence and documents relating to the applicable Purchased Mortgage Loans and other Mortgage Assets and (iii) fully cooperate and coordinate with the Successor Servicer and/or Buyer to comply with any applicable so-called “goodbye” letter requirements, notices or other applicable requirements of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act or other applicable Requirements of Law applicable to the transfer of the servicing of the applicable Purchased Mortgage Loans. Seller agrees that if Seller fails to cooperate with Buyer or any Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of Seller as servicer of any Purchased Mortgage Loan or the transfer of all authority to service such Purchased Mortgage Loan to such Successor Servicer in accordance with the terms hereof, Buyer will be irreparably harmed and entitled to injunctive relief and shall not be required to post bond.

(g)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Transaction Document, Seller and Buyer agree that all Servicing Rights with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans are being transferred hereunder to Buyer on the applicable Purchase Date, the Purchase Price for the Purchased Mortgage Loans includes full and fair consideration for such Servicing Rights and such Servicing Rights will be conclusively deemed to be transferred by Buyer to Seller upon Seller’s payment of the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Mortgage Loans.

Buyer and Seller acknowledge that, and have entered into this Agreement and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder, together with the provisions of the Side Letter, constitute a single business and contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other. Accordingly, each of Buyer and Seller agrees (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder and its obligations under the Side Letter, 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 Transactions hereunder or any obligations under the Side Letter and (iii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any Transaction or any agreement under the Side Letter shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder or any agreement under the Side Letter, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all such notices, statements, demands or other communications shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given and received (i) if sent by facsimile, upon the sender’s receipt of confirmation of transmission of such facsimile from the sending facsimile machine or (ii) if emailed, upon confirmation of receipt by the recipient (including by the recipient’s replying to the email or by the sender’s receiving a read receipt when the sender has chosen MS Outlook’s “request a read receipt” option, or a substantially similar option under another email program, for the email when sent), provided that for both clauses (i) and (ii), if such transmission-confirmed facsimile is sent or such read receipt is received outside of the recipient’s normal business hours, the faxed or emailed communication shall be deemed received at the opening of business on the next Business Day, or (iii) if hand delivered, when delivery to the address below is made, as evidenced by a confirmation from the applicable courier service of delivery to such address, but without any need of evidence of receipt by the named individual required and (iv) if mailed by Express Mail or sent by overnight courier, on the following Business Day, in each case addressed as follows:

Either Party may revise any information relating to it by notice in writing to the other Party given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.

(a)               Seller will pay its own legal and accounting fees and other costs incurred in respect of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and this facility. Seller will promptly pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in connection with (i) preparation, negotiation, and documentation of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (ii) administration of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and any amendment or waiver thereto and purchase and resale of Mortgage Loans by Buyer hereunder, (iii) protection of the Purchased Mortgage Loans (including all costs of filing or recording any assignments, financing statements, amendments and other documents), (iv) performance of due diligence and audits in respect of Mortgage Loans purchased or proposed for purchase hereunder and Seller’s business and finances, by Buyer or any agent of Buyer, conducted before and after the date hereof, and (v) enforcement of Buyer’s rights hereunder and under any other Transaction Document (including costs and expenses suffered or incurred by Buyer in connection with any Act of Insolvency related to Seller or to Parent or any other Guarantor, appeals and any anticipated post-judgment collection services).

(b)               In addition to its other rights hereunder, Seller shall indemnify Buyer and Buyer’s Affiliates and Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, agents, advisors and employees (each, an “Indemnified Party‎”‎ and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties‎”‎) against, and hold Buyer and each of them harmless from, any losses, liabilities, damages, claims, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) suffered or incurred by any Indemnified Party (“Losses‎”‎) relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other related document, or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any use or proposed use of proceeds thereof and amendment or waiver thereof, or any breach by Seller, Parent or any other Guarantor of any covenant, representation or warranty contained in any of such documents, or arising out of, resulting from, or in any manner connected with, the purchase by Buyer of any Mortgage Loan or the servicing of any Purchased Mortgage Loans by Seller; provided that Seller shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnified Party to the extent such Losses result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. The provisions of this Section 15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

If Seller believes that a Mortgage Note or other Mortgage Loan Document for a Purchased Mortgage Loan that has been delivered to Buyer contains one or more errors or omissions that are correctable and the correction of which is necessary to facilitate the purchase or enforceability of that Mortgage Loan, then Seller may deliver to Buyer a written request for the release of the Mortgage Note or other such document to Seller for the purpose of making that correction and stating the specific reason for the release. If Buyer, in its sole discretion, deems the reason stated by Seller in such request to be sufficient to warrant release of possession of the Mortgage Note or such other document to such Seller for correction, then Buyer will deliver the Mortgage Note or such other Mortgage Loan Document to Seller at its earliest convenience. Seller shall return to Buyer the corrected Mortgage Note or other document provided by no later than the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the date it is released by Buyer. Whenever the Mortgage Note or any other Mortgage Loan Document for any Purchased Mortgage Loan is in the possession of Seller, Seller shall hold it in trust for the benefit of Buyer. At no time shall the sum of the Outstanding Principal Balances of Purchased Mortgage Loans whose Mortgage Notes or other Mortgage Loan Documents have been (and still are) released to Seller pursuant to this Section 16 exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000).

Seller shall (i) promptly provide such further assurances or agreements as Buyer may request in good faith in order to effect the purposes of this Agreement and (ii) on or before the date hereof, mark its systems and/or other data processing records evidencing the Purchased Mortgage Loans with a legend or other identifier, acceptable to Buyer, evidencing that Buyer has acquired an interest therein as provided in this Agreement.

Buyer is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of Seller for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instruments that Buyer may, in good faith, deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, including (i) receiving, endorsing and collecting all checks made payable to the order of Seller representing any Income on any of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and giving full discharge for the same, (ii) perfecting and continuing the Lien granted by this Agreement and (iii) protecting, preserving and realizing on the Mortgage Assets, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Buyer agrees to not exercise the power granted by this Section 18 unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided that Buyer may (i) add and amend endorsements in Seller’s name of Mortgage Notes either in blank or to an Agency or its designee, cancel endorsements and re-endorse Mortgage Notes in Seller’s name and receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of Seller representing any Income on any of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and give full discharge for the same and (ii) take such actions as it deems in good faith to be necessary or appropriate to accomplish the purposes hereof, to perfect and continue the Lien granted hereby and to protect and preserve the Mortgage Assets, at any time before or after any Event of Default shall have occurred.

(a)          Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, any amounts to be transferred by Buyer to Seller hereunder shall be deposited in immediately available funds to the account of Seller:

(b)         Any amounts to be transferred by Seller to Buyer hereunder shall be sent by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of Buyer at:

(c)         Amounts received after 2:00 p.m., Houston, Texas time, on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been paid and received on the next succeeding Business Day.

This Agreement, as supplemented by the Side Letter, supersedes any existing agreements between the Parties containing terms and conditions for repurchase transactions. Each provision and agreement of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any of such other provisions or agreements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any phrase or clause of any Transaction Document would render any provision or agreement of that (or any other) Transaction Document unenforceable, such phrase or clause shall be disregarded and deemed deleted, and such provision or agreement shall be enforced as fully as if the offending phrase or clause had never appeared.

(a)               The rights and obligations of Seller under this Agreement and under any Transaction shall not be assigned by Seller without the prior written consent of Buyer and any such assignment without the prior written consent of Buyer shall be null and void.

(b)               Buyer may assign all or any portion of its rights, obligations and interest under this Agreement and in the Mortgage Assets at any time without the consent of any Person, provided that any such assignment, other than an assignment to an Affiliate of Buyer, is subject to the prior written consent of Seller so long as an Event of Default or Default has not occurred and is not continuing. Any such assignment shall be in a minimum amount of at least Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) unless otherwise consented to by Seller; provided that Seller’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing. Resales of Purchased Mortgage Loans by Buyer (subject to (i) Seller’s right to repurchase the Purchased Mortgage Loans before termination of this Agreement or Buyer’s liquidation of the Purchased Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 11 and (ii) Buyer’s obligation to deliver the same to Seller or its designee upon receipt of the Repurchase Price therefor)in accordance with applicable law, shall be permitted without restriction. Buyer may sell participation interests in all or any portion of its rights, obligations and interest under this Agreement and in the Mortgage Assets to any Person at any time without the consent of any Person. In addition to, and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in, the foregoing, Buyer may assign its rights to enforce this Agreement as to any Mortgage Loan to any Person that subsequently purchases such Mortgage Loan from Buyer or provides financing to Buyer with respect to such Mortgage Loan.

(c)               In addition to the foregoing, Buyer may, at any time in its sole discretion, pledge or grant a Lien in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including any rights to Mortgage Assets and any rights to payment of the Repurchase Price) to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or a Federal Home Loan Bank, without notice to or consent of Seller; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest would release Buyer from any of its obligations under this Agreement, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for Buyer as a party to this Agreement.

(e)               Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 21, Buyer shall not be precluded from assigning, charging or otherwise dealing with all or any part of its interest in any sum payable to it under Section 11.

(f)                This Agreement and all Transactions outstanding hereunder shall terminate automatically without any requirement for notice on the date occurring on or after the Termination Date on which all Repurchase Prices and all other obligations of Seller under the Transaction Documents have been paid in full.

(a)               This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.

(b)               Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by telecopy, emailed pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, “delivery” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require Buyer to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent.

Seller hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Nothing in this Section 23 shall affect the right of Buyer to bring any action or proceeding against Seller or its Property in the courts of other jurisdictions.Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each Party consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to it at its address for notices hereunder specified in Section 14.

EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OR OTHER AGENT (INCLUDING ANY ATTORNEY) OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 24.

No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by Buyer shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy hereunder by Buyer shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by any Party to a departure herefrom shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the Parties hereto.

(a)               If assets of an employee benefit plan subject to any provision of ERISA are intended to be used by Seller in a Transaction, Seller shall so notify Buyer before the Transaction. Seller shall represent in writing to Buyer that the Transaction does not constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or is otherwise exempt therefrom, and Buyer may proceed in reliance thereon but shall not be required so to proceed.

(b)               Subject to the last sentence of Section 26(a), any such Transaction shall proceed only if Seller furnishes or has furnished to Buyer its most recent available audited statement of its financial condition and its most recent subsequent unaudited statement of its financial condition.

(c)               By entering into a Transaction pursuant to this Section 26, Seller shall be deemed (i) to represent to Buyer that since the date of Seller’s latest such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in Seller’s financial condition that Seller has not disclosed to Buyer, and (ii) to agree to provide Buyer with future audited and unaudited statements of its financial condition as they are issued, so long as any such Transaction is outstanding.

(a)               The Parties intend and acknowledge that each Transaction, as well as the Guaranty, is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code. Seller and Parent each hereby agrees that it shall not challenge the characterization of this Agreement or the Guaranty as a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, or as a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code in any dispute or proceeding.

(b)               It is understood that either Party’s right to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or to liquidate Mortgage Loans delivered to it in connection with Transactions hereunder, or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 11, is a contractual right to accelerate, terminate or liquidate this Agreement or such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and 559 of the Bankruptcy Code.

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

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

(e)               It is understood and agreed that this Agreement constitutes a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, and that either Party’s right to cause the termination, liquidation, or acceleration of, or to offset net termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations arising under or in connection with, this Agreement or any Transaction is a contractual right to cause the termination, liquidation, or acceleration of, or to offset net termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations arising under or in connection with, this Agreement or any Transaction as described in Section 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:

(a)               in the case of Transactions in which one of the Parties is a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC‎”‎) under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the “1934 Act‎”‎), the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (“SIPA‎”‎) do not protect the other Party with respect to any Transaction hereunder;

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

(c)               in the case of Transactions in which one of the Parties is a financial institution, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a Transaction hereunder other than funds on deposit in a deposit account with such financial institution are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by either the FDIC or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund.

Confidential Terms. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all written or computer-readable information provided by one Party to any other regarding the terms set forth in any of the Transaction Documents or the Transactions contemplated thereby (the “Confidential Terms‎”‎) shall be kept confidential and shall not be divulged to any Person (other than Affiliates and Subsidiaries thereof) without the prior written consent of such other Party except to the extent that (i) such Person is an Affiliate, Subsidiary, division, or parent holding company of a Party or a director, officer, employee or agent (including an accountant, legal counsel and other advisor) of a Party or such Affiliate, division or parent holding company, (ii) in such Party’s opinion it is necessary to do so in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies or regulatory bodies (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) or in order to comply with any applicable federal or state laws or regulations, (iii) any of the Confidential Terms are in the public domain other than due to a breach of this covenant, (iv) in the event of a Default or an Event of Default Buyer reasonably determines such information to be necessary or desirable to disclose in connection with the marketing and sales of the Purchased Mortgage Loans or otherwise to enforce or exercise Buyer’s rights hereunder, or (v) to the extent Buyer deems necessary or appropriate, in connection with an assignment or participation under Section 21 or in connection with any hedging transaction related to Purchased Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, the Parties may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, any fact that may be relevant to understanding the U.S. federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such U.S. federal, state and local tax treatment and that may be relevant to understanding such tax treatment, and the Parties may disclose information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the financing industry; provided that Seller may not disclose (except as provided in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 29) the name of or identifying information with respect to Buyer or any pricing terms (including the Pricing Rate, Facility Fee or other fee, Purchase Price Percentage and Purchase Price) or other nonpublic business or financial information (including any sublimits and financial covenants) that is unrelated to the U.S. federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions and is not relevant to understanding the U.S. federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, without the prior written consent of Buyer. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Terms as provided in this Section 29 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Terms as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. The provisions set forth in this Section 29 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of one (1) year following such termination.

Except to the extent specifically permitted herein, Seller hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives all right to setoff that it may have under contract (including this Agreement), applicable law, in equity or otherwise with respect to any funds or monies of Buyer (or any disclosed principal for which Buyer is acting as agent) at any time held by or in the possession of Seller.

Seller agrees that Buyer may set off any funds or monies of Seller at any time held by or in the possession of Buyer in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise, against any amounts Seller owes to Buyer, or against any amounts Seller owes to any other Indemnified Party, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

SELLER WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT SELLER MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER FROM BUYER IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

The following notification is provided to Seller pursuant to Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act of 2001, 31 U.S.C. Section 5318:

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or entity that opens an account, including any deposit account, treasury management account, loan, other extension of credit, or other financial services product. What this means for Seller: When Seller opens an account, if Seller is an individual, Buyer will ask for Seller’s name, taxpayer identification number, residential address, date of birth, and other information that will allow Buyer to identify Seller, and if Seller is not an individual, Buyer will ask for Seller’s name, taxpayer identification number, business address, and other information that will allow Buyer to identify Seller. Buyer may also ask, if Seller is an individual, to see Seller’s driver’s license or other identifying documents, and if Seller is not an individual to see Seller’s legal organizational documents or other identifying documents.

(a) Seller and Parent each acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that Buyer will not have any obligations except those obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and Buyer is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s-length contractual counterparty to Seller and Parent with respect to the Transaction Documents and the Transactions and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, Seller, Parent or any other Person. Seller and Parent each agrees that it will not assert any claim against Buyer based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Person in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions. Additionally, Seller and Parent each acknowledges and agrees that Buyer is not advising Seller or Parent as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction. Seller and Parent will consult with their own advisors concerning such matters and each shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the Transactions, and Buyer shall have no responsibility or liability to Seller or Parent with respect thereto.

(b) Seller and Parent each further acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that Buyer is a full service banking or securities firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, Buyer may provide investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for its own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, Seller, Parent and other companies with which Seller or Parent may have commercial or other relationships. With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by Buyer or any of its customers, all rights in respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion.

(c) In addition, Seller and Parent each acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that Buyer and its Affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which Seller or Parent may have conflicting interests regarding the Transactions and otherwise. Buyer will not use confidential information obtained from Seller or Parent by virtue of the Transactions or its other relationships with Seller in connection with the performance by Buyer of services for other companies, and Buyer will not furnish any such information to other companies. Seller also acknowledges that Buyer has no obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or to furnish to Seller or Parent, confidential information obtained from other companies.
