Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

1. The Securitization:

 

Five Oaks Acquisition Corp. (“ FOAC ”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Five Oaks Investment Corp. (the “ Company ”), and Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp. (the “ Depositor ”) have entered into a Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of December 23 , 2014, (the “ MLPSA ”) pursuant to which the Depositor has acquired certain mortgage loans.  The Depositor sold the mortgage loans to CSMC Trust 2014-OAK1 (the “ Trust ”) pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement (the “ PSA ”), dated as of December 1, 2014, among the Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as master servicer and securities administrator, Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc., as a servicer, and Christiana Trust, a division of Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee.

 

The Trust issued certificates backed by the mortgage loans sold by FOAC, to the Depositor (the “ Certificates ”).  The Depositor sold the Certificates pursuant to the CPA described below, and the Certificates were then sold to investors in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to a preliminary offering circular as supplemented by the preliminary offering circular supplement (collectively, the “ Preliminary Offering Circular ”), each dated December 19, 2014, and in a final offering circular as supplemented by the final offering circular supplement each dated December 23, 2014 (collectively, the “ Final Offering Circular ”).  Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“ Credit Suisse Securities ”) and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“ Wells Fargo Securities ”) acted as initial purchasers (the “ Initial Purchasers ”) for the offering pursuant to the Certificate Purchase Agreement (the “ CPA ”) dated December 22, 2014 , among the Depositor, the Initial Purchasers, FOAC and the Company. The CPA provides that the FOAC and the Company will indemnify the initial purchasers, that under certain limited circumstances the depositor will indemnify the initial purchasers and that under certain limited circumstances the initial purchasers will indemnify the depositor, against certain civil liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribute to payments required to be made in respect thereof.

 

The Company purchased all of the subordinated Class B Certificates and certain of the Class A Certificates issued by the Trust.  The Company is not obligated to hold any of the Certificates and may sell the Certificates at any time.

 

In addition, the Company entered into an Indemnity Letter (the “ Indemnity Letter ”) dated December 23, 2014, among the Company, Credit Suisse Securities and the Depositor. Pursuant to the Indemnity Letter, the Company agrees to indemnify Credit Suisse Securities, the Depositor and their affiliates in connection with claims, damages or liabilities arising out of the transactions described above.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the MLPSA, the CPA and the Indemnity Letter do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements. The agreements have been filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as follows:

2. CPA 10.2
3. Indemnity Letter 10.3
4. PSA 10.4

 

  2. The Bank of America, N.A.  Repurchase Agreement:

 

On December 30, 2014, FOAC, entered into that certain Master Repurchase Agreement (the “ Repurchase Agreement ”) by and between Bank of America, N.A. (“ BANA ”) as buyer, and FOAC as seller, for the purpose of financing the acquisition of eligible residential mortgage loans, in furtherance of the Company’s previously announced strategy to aggregate and securitize such loans.

 

The Repurchase Agreement will be used by FOAC from time to time to sell certain eligible residential mortgage loans, to be acquired by FOAC from one or more originators, to BANA. The Repurchase Agreement provides for a 364-day facility term with an aggregate maximum capacity of $100,000,000 which is scheduled to mature on December 29, 2015, unless extended pursuant to its terms. The Repurchase Agreement contains margin call provisions that provide BANA with certain rights if there has been a decline in the market value of the purchased mortgage loans, such that BANA may require FOAC to transfer cash or eligible mortgage loans to eliminate any margin deficit resulting from such decline. Wells Fargo Bank N.A. will act as mortgage loan custodian.

The Company also entered into a guaranty, in favor of BANA (the “ Guaranty ”), pursuant to which it guaranteed FOAC’s obligations under the Repurchase Agreement. The Company, as guarantor, is subject to certain financial covenants in respect of the Repurchase Agreement.

 

In addition, the Repurchase Agreement contains certain events of default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and cure periods), including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or any representations and warranties, cross-defaults, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and other events of default customary for this type of transaction. The remedies for such events of default are also customary for this type of transaction and include, among others, repurchase of a purchased mortgage loan and the liquidation by BANA of the mortgage loans under the Repurchase Agreement.

 

The Company has outstanding master repurchase agreements with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, an affiliate of Bank of America.

Section 3. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of Five Oaks with respect to the Mortgage Loans .

In addition, with respect to a breach of a representation or warranty restated by an Originator that materially and adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, Five Oaks hereby agrees to cure the breach, or repurchase or substitute for any such Mortgage Loan when a representation and warranty restated by the related Originator to the Trustee was true and correct as of the date that the related Originator is restating the representations and warranties to the Trustee (if such date is not the Closing Date), but not true and correct as of the Closing Date. In any AAR Agreement where the related Originator restated representations and warranties to the Trustee as of the Closing Date, the Seller shall not have the obligations described in the prior sentence.

 

Any exceptions identified at the time Five Oaks purchased a Mortgage Loan from an Originator or other third party shall not be considered a breach of the underwriting guidelines representation and warranty provided that such exceptions and the related compensating factors are accurately described in the exhibit to the related purchase price and terms letter or other document that identifies the exceptions.

 

In addition, in no event shall any obligation which the Seller may have to cure, repurchase or substitute for any Mortgage Loans for which there has been a breach of any representation and warranty survive (to the extent such obligation has not expired earlier) beyond the earlier of (a) the termination of the Trust Fund and (b) the payment of all amounts due on the related Mortgage Loan.

 

Any substitution must be done within two years of the Closing Date.

 

Five Oaks hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with, CSFBMSC that (i) on the Closing Date, Five Oaks will have good, valid and marketable title to the Mortgage Loans, in each case free and clear of all liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, pledges, security interests, charges, encumbrances or other claims and (ii) upon transfer to CSFBMSC, CSFBMSC will receive good, valid and marketable title to all of the Mortgage Loans, in each case free and clear of any liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, pledges, security interests, charges, encumbrances or other claims.

 

- 3 -
 

 

Five Oaks hereby represents and warrants for the benefit of CSFBMSC and the Trustee that: (i) this Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Mortgage Loans in favor of CSFBMSC, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from Five Oaks; (ii) the Mortgage Notes constitute “instruments” within the meaning of the applicable UCC; (iii) Five Oaks, immediately prior to its transfer of Mortgage Loans under this Agreement, will own and have good, valid and marketable title to the Mortgage Loans free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person; (iv) Five Oaks has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the Mortgage Loans to the sale of the Mortgage Loans hereunder to CSFBMSC; (v) all original executed copies of each Mortgage Note that constitute or evidence the Mortgage Loans have been delivered to the Custodian (as assignee of CSFBMSC); (vi) Five Oaks has received a written acknowledgment from the Custodian that the Custodian is holding the Mortgage Notes that constitute or evidence the Mortgage Loans solely on behalf and for the benefit of CSFBMSC or its assignee; (vii) other than the security interest granted to CSFBMSC pursuant to this Agreement and security interests (if any) granted to lenders which will be automatically released on the Closing Date, Five Oaks has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Mortgage Loans; Five Oaks has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against it that include a description of collateral covering the Mortgage Loans other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to CSFBMSC hereunder or that will be automatically released upon the sale to CSFBMSC; (viii) Five Oaks is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filing against itself; and (ix) none of the Mortgage Notes that constitute or evidence the Mortgage Loans have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than CSFBMSC.

 

In the event of any cure, repurchase or substitution obligations of Five Oaks specified in this Section 3, Five Oaks will cure the breach, or repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Section 3 and Section 4 below and in accordance with the timing requirements set forth in this Section 3 and Section 2.04 and Section 2.05 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Solely to the extent Five Oaks is specifically required to correct or cure a breach pursuant to this Section 3, Five Oaks shall cure or cause the cure of such breach within 90 days from the earlier of the date that Five Oaks discovered or was notified of such breach, and if Five Oaks does not cure or cause the cure of such breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts to enforce Five Oaks’s obligation to repurchase at the Repurchase Price or substitute that Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund on or prior to the Determination Date following the expiration of such 90-day period; provided, however, that, in connection with any such breach that could not reasonably have been cured within such 90-day period, Five Oaks shall be required to repurchase or substitute the Mortgage Loan no later than 120 days after its discovery or notice of such breach, and provided further, that, if such breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” (as defined in the Code), then notwithstanding the previous provisions of this paragraph, the Seller shall be required to repurchase or substitute the Defective Mortgage Loan within 60 days from the date the defect was discovered.

Section 4. Arbitration with respect to Remedies by Five Oaks .

 

Five Oaks and CSFBMSC agree that the resolution of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to an obligation or alleged obligation of Five Oaks to cure, repurchase or substitute a Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3 above shall be by Arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association. If any such controversy or claim has not been resolved to the satisfaction of both Five Oaks and CSFBMSC, either party may commence Arbitration to resolve the dispute; provided that a party may commence Arbitration with respect to one or more unresolved allegations only during the months of January, April, July and October, and all matters with respect to which Arbitration has been commenced in any such month shall be heard in a single Arbitration in the immediately following month or as soon as practicable thereafter; and provided further that if any Arbitration arising out of or relating to an obligation or alleged obligation of an Originator to repurchase a Mortgage Loan relating to the same representation and warranty has commenced and is continuing, then such Arbitration shall be joined with the Arbitration commenced hereunder.

 

(a)          To commence Arbitration, the moving party shall deliver written notice to the other party that it has elected to pursue Arbitration in accordance with this Section 4, provided that if Five Oaks has not responded to CSFBMSC's notification of a breach of a representation and warranty, CSFBMSC shall not commence Arbitration with respect to that breach before 60 days following such notification in order to provide Five Oaks with an opportunity to respond to such notification. Within 10 Business Days after a party has provided notice that it has elected to pursue Arbitration, each party may submit the names of one or more proposed Arbitrators to the other party in writing. If the parties have not agreed on the selection of an Arbitrator within 5 Business Days after the first such submission, then the party commencing Arbitration shall, within the next 5 Business Days, notify the American Arbitration Association in New York, New York and request that it appoint a single Arbitrator with experience in arbitrating disputes arising in the financial services industry.

 

(b)          It is the intention of the parties that Arbitration shall be conducted in as efficient and cost-effective a manner as is reasonably practicable, without the burden of discovery. Accordingly, the Arbitrator will resolve the dispute on the basis of a review of the written correspondence between the parties (including any supporting materials attached to such correspondence) conveyed by the parties to each other in connection with the dispute prior to the delivery of notice to commence Arbitration; however, upon a showing of good cause, a party may request the Arbitrator to direct the production of such additional information, evidence and/or documentation from the parties that the Arbitrator deems appropriate. If requested by the Arbitrator or any party, any hearing with respect to an Arbitration shall be conducted by video conference or teleconference, except upon the agreement of both parties or the request of the Arbitrator.

 

(c)          The finding of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties. Judgment upon any arbitration award rendered may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The costs of the Arbitrator shall be shared equally between both parties. Each party, however, shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs in connection with the Arbitration.

The Certificates will represent ownership interests in mortgage loans (the “ Mortgage Loans ”) consisting of two mortgage pools: a pool of fixed rate mortgage loans, which have original terms to maturity of 15 years and a pool of fixed rate mortgage loans which substantially have original terms to maturity of 30 years.

The Offered Certificates will have the characteristics set forth in the Preliminary Offering Circular and the Final Offering Circular.

Pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, to be dated as of December 1, 2014 (the “ MLPSA ”), between Five Oaks Acquisition Corp., as seller (the “ Sponsor ” or “ Five Oaks ”), and the Depositor, as purchaser, the Sponsor will sell all of its interest in the Mortgage Loans (excluding the servicing rights thereto) to the Depositor. Additionally, under the MLPSA, the Sponsor is obligated to cure, repurchase or substitute for any Mortgage Loan, if the representation and warranty made by the related Originator under the related AAR Agreement (as defined herein) was true and correct as of the date that the related Originator is restating the representations and warranties to the Trustee (if such restatement date is prior to the Closing Date), but not true and correct as of the Closing Date. In addition, under the MLPSA, the Sponsor is obligated as described therein to cure, repurchase or substitute for any Mortgage Loan as to which there has been an uncured breach of representations or warranties restated by each Originator to the Trustee that materially and adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, but only if each of the following conditions is met: (i) the related Originator fails to cure such breach or repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan after a valid demand has been made and remains unresolved and (ii) the related Originator is subject to a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or such Originator is no longer in existence.

Five Oaks, as owner of the servicing rights with respect to approximately 99.35% of the Mortgage Loans (by Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date) will be primarily responsible with respect to the such Mortgage Loans for (1) remitting the aggregate amount of required monthly advances and required prepayment interest shortfall amounts to PHH and SMS and each of PHH and SMS will then remit such amounts to the Securities Administrator to the extent received and (2) at its option, terminating any of SPS, SMS or PHH with or without cause, and appointing a successor servicer.

 

On the Closing Date, the Sponsor, the Trustee, and each Originator of the Mortgage Loans will enter into an assignment, assumption and recognition agreement (each, an “ AAR Agreement ”) pursuant to which the related originator will restate the representations and warranties to the Trustee that such Originator had made or restated to the Sponsor regarding the related Mortgage Loans.

The Sponsor’s liability under this Section 9(a) shall be in addition to any other liability that the Sponsor may otherwise have.

(b)          The Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, each of their respective directors and officers, and each Person, if any, that controls such Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, claims, expenses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures or liabilities to which such Initial Purchaser or any such director, officer or controlling Person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, to the extent that such losses, claims, expenses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in, or, taken together with the Preliminary Offering Circular, any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in the Depositor Information; and shall reimburse each Initial Purchaser and each of their respective directors, officers or controlling Persons for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Initial Purchaser or such director, officer or controlling Person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, expense, damage, liability or action; provided, that the Depositor shall not be obligated to so indemnify and hold harmless to the extent such liabilities are caused by a misstatement or omission resulting from an error or omission in the Sponsor Information or Initial Purchaser Information which was not corrected by information subsequently supplied by the Sponsor or Initial Purchasers, as applicable, within a reasonable period of time prior to the written confirmation of sale. The Depositor’s liability under this Section 9(b) shall be in addition to any other liability that the Depositor may otherwise have.

 

(c)          Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, each of its respective directors and officers, and each Person, if any, that controls the Depositor within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, claims, expenses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures or liabilities to which the Depositor or any such director, officer or controlling Person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, to the extent that such losses, claims, expenses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in, or, taken together with the Preliminary Offering Circular, any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in (i) the Initial Purchaser Information or (ii) any Derived Information disseminated by such Initial Purchaser (except in the case of this clause (ii), to the extent that any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission results (or is alleged to have resulted) from a Pool Error); and shall reimburse the Depositor and each of its respective directors, officers or controlling Persons for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Depositor or such director, officer or controlling Person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, expense, damage, liability or action; provided, that such Initial Purchaser shall not be obligated to so indemnify and hold harmless to the extent such liabilities are caused by a misstatement or omission resulting from an error or omission in the Sponsor Information which was not corrected by information subsequently supplied by the Sponsor to such Initial Purchaser within a reasonable period of time prior to the written confirmation of sale. The Initial Purchasers’ liability under this Section 9(c) shall be in addition to any other liability that an Initial Purchaser may otherwise have.

 

- 22 -
 

 

 

(d)          If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 shall for any reason be unavailable to an indemnified party under this Section 9, then the party which would otherwise be obligated to indemnify with respect thereto, on the one hand, and the parties which would otherwise be entitled to be indemnified, on the other hand, shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures and expenses of the nature contemplated herein and incurred by the parties hereto in such proportions that are appropriate to reflect the relative benefit to such indemnified party, on the one hand, and such indemnifying party, on the other hand, from the issuance and sale of the Offered Certificates or, if such allocation is not permitted by a court of competent jurisdiction, then on a basis appropriate to also recognize the relative fault of such parties in connection with the applicable misstatements or omissions as well as any other relevant equitable considerations, which may include such parties’ relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances; provided, however, that the total contribution of an Initial Purchaser shall not exceed the total fee paid to it under this Agreement. The relative benefits received by the Sponsor, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Offered Certificates shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Offered Certificates (before deducting expenses) received by the Sponsor, and the total fees received by the Initial Purchasers hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person that was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9, each officer and director of a party to this Agreement and each Person, if any, that controls a party to this Agreement within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such party.

 

(e)          Guarantor agrees with each indemnified party, for the sole and exclusive benefit of such indemnified party and not for the benefit of any assignee thereof or any other person or persons dealing with such indemnified party, to indemnify and hold harmless such indemnified party against any failure by the Sponsor to perform its obligations pursuant to Section 9(a) or (d) under this Agreement. Guarantor agrees that there are no conditions precedent to its obligations hereunder other than the failure of the Sponsor to perform its obligations pursuant to Section 9(a) or (d) within ten (10) Business Days of written demand therefor.

 

- 23 -
 

 

(f)           Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party (or if a claim for contribution is to be made against another party) under this Section 9, notify the indemnifying party (or other contributing party) in writing of the claim or the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party (or other contributing party) shall not relieve it from any liability it may have to any indemnified party (or to the party requesting contribution) otherwise than under this Section 9 hereof, except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that, by written notice delivered to each indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from an indemnified party, the indemnifying party elects to assume the defense thereof, it may participate (jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified) with counsel satisfactory to each indemnified party; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both an indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party or parties shall reasonably have concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it or them and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of such counsel, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this paragraph for fees of separate counsel, unless (i) such indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel (plus any local counsel) in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party to represent such indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) such indemnifying party shall have authorized the employment of counsel for such indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent or if there shall be a final judgment against the indemnified party, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. In no event shall any indemnifying party be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from its own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought thereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (i) does not include a statement as to or admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any such indemnified party, and (ii) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

In addition, no Initial Purchaser is advising the Depositor or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Depositor shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters, and no Initial Purchaser shall have any responsibility or liability to the Depositor with respect thereto.

In addition, the Depositor and the Initial Purchasers are not advising the Sponsor or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Sponsor shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters, and neither the Depositor nor the Initial Purchasers shall have any responsibility or liability to the Sponsor with respect thereto. Any review by the Depositor or an Initial Purchaser of the Sponsor, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Depositor or such Initial Purchaser (as applicable) and shall not be on behalf of the Sponsor.

 

SECTION 12.        Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Indemnities to Survive Delivery . All representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an Initial Purchaser or controlling Person, or by or on behalf of the Depositor or the Sponsor, and shall survive delivery of any Offered Certificates to the Initial Purchasers or termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

Re: CSMC 2014-OAK1

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

1. Overview

 

Reference is made to the Certificate Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 22, 2014 (the " CPA "), among Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“ Credit Suisse ”), Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (" Wells Fargo "; together with Credit Suisse, the " Initial Purchasers "), Five Oaks Acquisition Corp., Five Oaks Investment Corp. (the “ Company ”) and Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp. (the " Depositor "), pursuant to which the Depositor will sell the CSMC Trust 2014-OAK1 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (the " Certificates ") to the Initial Purchasers. The Certificates will be issued pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2014 (the " PSA "), among the Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as master servicer and securities administrator, and Christiana Trust, a division of Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee. The issuance of the Certificates and the transactions contemplated thereby shall be referred to herein as the " Transaction ." This letter agreement shall be referred to herein as the “ Agreement .” Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the CPA or the PSA.

 

2. Acknowledgments and Agreements of the Company

 

The Company acknowledges that Credit Suisse and the Depositor are part of the Credit Suisse Group (the “ CS Group ”), a worldwide group of companies that is involved in a wide range of banking, investment banking, private banking, private equity, asset management and other investment and financial businesses and services, both for their own account and for the accounts of clients and customers. Credit Suisse and the other members of the CS Group provide a full range of securities services, including securities trading and brokerage activities. Credit Suisse and the other members of the CS Group may acquire, hold or sell, or may hold long or short positions, for their own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of the Company and any other company that may be involved in the transactions and other matters contemplated by this Agreement, as well as provide investment banking and other financial services to such companies. Credit Suisse and the other members of the CS Group may have interests, or be engaged in a broad range of transactions involving interests, that differ from those of the Company. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no member of the CS Group has any obligation to disclose such interests or transactions (or information relating thereto) to the Company and that Credit Suisse’s agreement to provide services to the Company hereunder will not require any other business or member of the CS Group to restrict its activities in any way or require the CS Group to provide the Company with any information whatsoever about, or derived from, those activities. Credit Suisse and the other members of the CS Group and certain of their respective employees, including members of the team performing in connection with the Transaction, as well as certain private equity funds associated or affiliated with the CS Group in which they may have financial interests, may from time-to-time acquire, hold or make direct or indirect investments in or otherwise finance a wide variety of companies, including parties with a potential direct or indirect interest in the Transaction. The CS Group has adopted policies and procedures designed to preserve the independence of its research analysts whose views may differ from those of the CS Group's investment banking department. Neither Credit Suisse nor any other member of the CS Group shall be liable to account to the Company for, or (to the extent permitted by law) disclose to the Company, any charges or other remuneration made or received by it.

The Company agrees that Credit Suisse has provided and may provide or otherwise assist other prospective purchasers in obtaining all or a portion of the financing with respect to a proposed transaction involving the Company or any of its affiliates. The Company further agrees that Credit Suisse may purchase assets of the Company or any of the Company’s affiliates. The Company waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have based on any actual or potential conflicts of interest in connection with Credit Suisse purchasing or providing or otherwise assisting any such prospective purchasers with any such financing or purchase.

 

The Company acknowledges and agrees that Credit Suisse is acting solely as Initial Purchaser with respect to the Transaction and that no fiduciary relationship between the Company and Credit Suisse has been created in respect of any transaction contemplated by the Transaction, regardless of whether Credit Suisse has advised or is advising the Company on other matters.

 

The Company agrees that Credit Suisse and/or one of its affiliates may purchase a portion of the Securities on the same terms and conditions as the other investors participating in any private placement so long as such purchase is disclosed to the Company.

 

The Company hereby agrees to waive all conflicts of interest, if any, that Credit Suisse or the Depositor may have in connection with Credit Suisse acting as an Initial Purchaser or the Depositor acting as depositor with respect to the Transaction.

 

The Company understands that neither Credit Suisse nor the Depositor is undertaking to provide any legal, regulatory, accounting or tax advice in connection with the Transaction. Neither Credit Suisse nor the Depositor shall be responsible for the underlying business decision of the Company to effect the Transaction or for the advice or services provided by any of the Company’s other advisors or contractors.

 

None of the Company, the Depositor or Credit Suisse shall, in any event, be responsible for any consequential or punitive damages.

3. Indemnification

 

Since the Depositor and Credit Suisse will be acting on behalf of the Company in connection with the Transaction, the Company, Credit Suisse and the Depositor agree to the indemnity provisions and other matters set forth in Annex A, which is incorporated by reference into this Agreement and is an integral part hereof. The obligations of the Company pursuant to Annex A shall be in addition to but not duplicative of its indemnity obligations to Credit Suisse and the Depositor under the CPA and shall survive the closing of the Transaction and the termination of the CPA.

 

4. General

 

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, Credit Suisse and their respective successors. Except as contemplated by Annex A, this Agreement is not intended to confer rights upon any persons not a party hereto (including security holders, employees or creditors of the Company). This Agreement and the CPA constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior agreements, both written and oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction herein (including Annex A) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable or against public policy, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions contained herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be modified or invalidated.

 

All aspects of the relationship created by this Agreement (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein, without regard to the principle of conflicts of laws thereof or of any other jurisdiction (other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Laws), and, in connection therewith, the parties hereto consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, in each case sitting in New York County, and agree to venue in such courts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely for purposes of enforcing the Company’s obligations under Annex A, the Company consents to personal jurisdiction, service and venue in any court proceeding in which any claim or cause of action relating to or arising out of this Agreement is brought by or against any Indemnified Party (as such term is defined in Annex A). THE INITIAL PURCHASER AND THE COMPANY EACH HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM, COUNTER CLAIM OR ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

(the " Depositor ") to act in the capacities described in the agreement to which this Annex A is attached (the “ Agreement ”), the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, Credit Suisse, their respective affiliates, and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the Depositor and Credit Suisse and each other entity or person, if any, controlling the Depositor, Credit Suisse or any of its respective affiliates within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Depositor, Credit Suisse and each such entity or person being collectively referred to as an “ Indemnified Party ”), from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (i) arising out of or in connection with the Transaction or any transaction related thereto, or any other matter contemplated by the CPA, subject to the express exceptions set out in Section 9 of the CPA and including but not limited to any liability the Depositor or Credit Suisse may have to any rating agency or third-party diligence vendor; provided that the Company shall not be liable for any credit losses that may arise as a result of the Depositor’s purchase of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement between the Seller and the Depositor; (ii) arising out of, based upon or in connection with any breach by the Company of any representation or warranty that is judicially determined to have occurred or failure to comply with any of the agreements of the Company set forth in the Agreement and any other agreement to be entered into by the Company (other than any asset-level representations and warranties made by the Company and/or its affiliates in Section 3. of the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of December 23, 2014, between Five Oaks Acquisition Corp. and the Depositor) on the one hand, and the Depositor and/or Credit Suisse, on the other hand, with respect to the Transaction or any transaction related thereto; or (iii) arising out of any incorrect, or late, filing required to be made by the Depositor or its affiliates in connection with the Transaction that would not have occurred but for an improper action of omission by the Company. This Annex A may be referred to herein as an “ Indemnity Agreement ”. Terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth or referenced in the Agreement.

 

The Company will reimburse each Indemnified Party for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating, preparing for or defending any such action or claim referred to in the preceding paragraph, whether in connection with pending or threatened litigation to which the Indemnified Party is a party), in each case, as such expenses are incurred or paid. With respect to the preceding paragraph, the Company will not, however, be responsible for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or expenses related thereto) incurred by any Indemnified Party that are finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of any Indemnified Party. In addition, the Company shall in no event be responsible for any consequential or punitive damages.

 

 
 

 

In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within 30 days of receipt of written notice from the Indemnified Party of such proceeding, to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party and any others the Company may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding; provided that the failure to notify the Company shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under this Annex A except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the Company shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Annex A. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Company and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the Company or the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the Company shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such Indemnified Parties, and that all such reasonable fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred and paid. In the case of any such separate firm for the Indemnified Parties, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Depositor or Credit Suisse, as applicable, and acceptable to the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

 

The Company will not, without the Depositor's or Credit Suisse’s, as applicable, prior written consent, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes a release of each Indemnified Party from any liabilities arising out of such action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding. The Company will not permit any such settlement, compromise, consent or termination to include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party, without such Indemnified Party’s prior written consent. No Indemnified Party seeking indemnification, reimbursement or contribution under this Indemnity Agreement will, without the Company’s prior written consent, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding referred to herein.

 

If the indemnification provided for in this Indemnity Agreement is unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Depositor and Credit Suisse, on the other hand, from the Transaction or any transaction related thereto or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and of the Depositor and Credit Suisse, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on one hand, and the Depositor and Credit Suisse, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the proceeds received or proposed to be received by the Company from the Transaction or the applicable transaction related thereto (before deducting expenses) bear to the total placement fees received or proposed to be received by Credit Suisse pursuant to the Transaction or the applicable transaction related thereto. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Depositor and Credit Suisse, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether such action or omission was taken by the Company or by the Depositor and Credit Suisse and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to prevent such action or omission.

 

 
 

 

The Company, the Depositor and Credit Suisse agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Indemnity Agreement were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Indemnity Agreement, in no event shall the aggregate contribution by all Indemnified Parties to the amount paid or payable exceed the aggregate amount of fees actually received by Credit Suisse in connection with the Transaction or any transaction related thereto.

 

The Company’s obligations hereunder shall be in addition to any rights that any Indemnified Party may have at common law or otherwise.

On the Closing Date, the Depositor will acquire the Mortgage Loans from the Seller and will be the owner of the Mortgage Loans and related property being conveyed by the Depositor to the Trustee hereunder for inclusion in the Trust Fund.

The Depositor has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Agreement to provide for the conveyance to the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans and the related property constituting the Trust Fund. All covenants and agreements made by the Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement and in this Agreement and by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, SPS and the Trustee herein, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Fund, are for the benefit of the Holders from time to time of the Certificates.

Notwithstanding the above, with respect to any Class of Subordinate Certificates (other than the lowest numerical Class of Subordinate Certificates outstanding), if on any Distribution Date the sum of the Class Subordination Percentage of such Class and the aggregate Class Subordinate Percentages of all Classes of Subordinate Certificates which have higher numerical Class designations than that Class is less than the Original Applicable Credit Support Percentage for that Class, no distribution of principal will be made to any such Classes on that Distribution Date. Instead, the Subordinate Principal Distribution Amounts on that Distribution Date will be allocated among the more senior Classes of Subordinate Certificates, pro rata, based on their respective Class Principal Amounts.

 

Notwithstanding the above, with respect to each Class of Subordinate Certificates (other than the lowest numerical Class of Subordinate Certificates outstanding), if on any Distribution Date the Class Principal Amount of that Class and the aggregate of the Class Principal Amounts of all Classes of Subordinate Certificates that have a lower payment priority than that Class is reduced to less than or equal to 1.60% of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date, the portion of each Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount otherwise distributable to such Class or Classes on such Distribution Date and each succeeding Distribution Date will be allocated among the Subordinate Certificates with a higher payment priority then entitled to principal, pro rata, based on their respective Class Principal Amounts, and any remaining Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount will be included in the Senior Principal Distribution Amount for the related Certificate Group (based on such Certificate Group’s pro rata share of the aggregate Senior Principal Distribution Amount) for such Distribution Date.

 

In addition, until the aggregate Class Principal Amount of each of the Class 1-A-1, Class 2-A-1, Class 2-A-2, Class 2-A-3, Class 2-A-4 and Class 2-A-5 Certificates, assuming, for purposes of this calculation, that no Exchanges have occurred, is reduced to zero, if on any Distribution Date, the Aggregate Subordinate Percentage for such Distribution Date is less than 8.45%, the Senior Principal Distribution Amount for each Certificate Group for such Distribution Date will include all principal collections on the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Pool distributable on that Distribution Date, and the Subordinate Principal Distribution Amounts will be zero.

If on any Distribution Date the aggregate of the Class Principal Amounts of the Subordinate Certificates is less than or equal to 1.60% of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date, the Senior Principal Distribution Amounts for such Distribution Date and each succeeding Distribution Date will include all principal collections on the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Pool on that Distribution Date, and the Subordinate Principal Distribution Amounts will be zero, until the aggregate Class Principal Amount of the Class 1-A-1, Class 2-A-1, Class 2-A-2, Class 2-A-3, Class 2-A-4 and Class 2-A-5 Certificates is reduced to zero, assuming for purposes of this calculation, that no Exchanges have occurred, then all principal collections on the related Mortgage Loans distributable on that Distribution Date will be paid to the Subordinate Certificates then outstanding, sequentially in order of payment priority, until the Class Principal Amount of each such Certificate is reduced to zero.

Section 2.04 Discovery of Breach; Repurchase of Mortgage Loans .

 

(a)          Pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Seller has represented and warranted as of the Closing Date that, immediately prior to its transfer of the Mortgage Loans under the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Seller owned and had good, valid and marketable title to the Mortgage Loans free and clear of all liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, pledges, security interests, charges, encumbrances or other claims and each of the Depositor and the Trustee intend that the Mortgage Loans (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans) included in the Trust Fund satisfy such representation and warranty. In addition, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Seller represented and warranted to the Depositor that the Seller is obligated to cure, repurchase or substitute for any Mortgage Loan as to which there has been an uncured breach of a representation or warranty restated by an Originator to the Trustee pursuant to the related AAR Agreement that materially and adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, but only if each of the following conditions is met: (i) the related Originator fails to cure such breach or repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan after a valid repurchase demand has been made and remains unresolved and (ii) the related Originator is subject to a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or such Originator is no longer in existence. With respect to a breach of a representation and warranty made by an Originator pursuant to the related AAR Agreement that materially and adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, if an Originator restated certain representations and warranties to the Trustee as of a date prior to the Closing Date, the Seller is obligated with respect to such representations and warranties that were true and correct as of the date the related Originator restated such representations and warranties to the Trustee, but not true and correct as of the Closing Date to cure a breach or repurchase from the Trust Fund or substitute for each affected Mortgage Loan. In any AAR Agreement where the related Originator restated representations and warranties to the Trustee as of the Closing Date, the Seller shall not have the obligation described in the prior sentence. Any exceptions identified at the time the Seller purchased a Mortgage Loan shall not be considered a breach of the underwriting guideline representation and warranty provided that such exceptions and the related compensating factors are accurately described in the exhibit that identifies the exceptions.

 

- 54 -
 

  

In addition, in no event will any obligation which the Seller may have to cure, repurchase or substitute for any Mortgage Loans for which there has been a breach of any representation and warranty survive (to the extent such obligation has not expired earlier) beyond the earlier of (a) the termination of the Trust Fund and (b) the payment of all amounts due on the related Mortgage Loan.

 

(b)          It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement and the Seller’s obligation to cure, repurchase or substitute a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement shall survive delivery of the Trustee Mortgage Files and the sale and assignment of each Mortgage Loan to the Trustee and shall continue throughout the term of this Agreement. Upon discovery by the Depositor or the Seller (each of such parties hereby agreeing to give written notice thereof to the Trustee and the other of such parties) of (i) a breach by the Seller of any representation or warranty under the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) a breach of a representation or warranty of an Originator pursuant to the related AAR Agreement as a result of which the Seller is required to cure, substitute for or repurchase such Mortgage Loan pursuant the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement (each a “Defective Mortgage Loan”), the Trustee, or its designee, shall promptly notify the Seller and the Depositor in writing of such breach and request that the Seller cure or cause the cure of such breach within 90 days from the earlier of the date that the Seller discovered or was notified of such breach, and if the Seller does not cure or cause the cure of such breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the Seller’s obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement to repurchase from the Trust Fund at the Repurchase Price or substitute for such Mortgage Loan on or prior to the Determination Date following the expiration of such 90-day period; provided, however, that, in connection with any such breach that could not reasonably have been cured within such 90-day period, the Seller shall be required to repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan no later than 120 days after its discovery or notice of such breach; and provided further, that if such breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” (as defined in the Code), then notwithstanding the previous provisions of this paragraph, the Seller shall be required to repurchase or substitute for the Defective Mortgage Loan within 60 days from the date the defect was discovered.

Account holders or agent members of or participants in Euroclear and Clearstream shall have no rights under this Agreement with respect to such Global Certificates, and the Clearing Agency as registered Holder of the Global Certificates may be treated by the Depositor, the Issuing Entity, the Certificate Registrar, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee (and any agent of any of the foregoing) as the owner of such Global Certificates for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Depositor, the Issuing Entity, the Certificate Registrar, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by any Clearance System or impair, as between the Clearance System and its agent members or participants, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any Certificates. Requests or directions from, or votes of, the Clearing Agency or any Clearance System with respect to any matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if made with respect to (or in separate proportions corresponding to) different beneficial owners. None of the Depositor, the Issuing Entity, the Certificate Registrar, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall have any duty to monitor, maintain records concerning (or determine compliance with any of the restrictions on transfer set forth herein with respect to) owners of beneficial interests in the Global Certificates. None of the Depositor, the Issuing Entity, the Certificate Registrar, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall have any liability for the accuracy of the records of the Clearing Agency or any Clearance System, or any actions or omissions of the Clearing Agency or any Clearance System (or of the agent members of or participants in any Clearance System).

(i)            Rule 144A Global Certificate to Regulation S Global Certificate . If a Certificateholder of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate of a particular Class wishes at any time to transfer its beneficial interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate to a Non-U.S. Person, such Certificateholder shall, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.03, transfer its beneficial interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate for an equivalent interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate of the same Class.

(f)          If a transfer of an interest in a Certificate is to be made without registration under the Securities Act, then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it and the Trustee receive a certificate (upon which certificate such party may conclusively rely) from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E-1 or Exhibit E-2 hereto and a certificate from such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E-3 hereto (as to which, in the case of the Book-Entry Certificates, the Certificateholder and the Certificateholder’s prospective transferee will be deemed to have made the representations and agreements contained therein), to the effect that, among other things, the transfer is being made to a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “QIB”) as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act in accordance with Rule 144A or in accordance with Regulation S. No such certifications shall be required of the Depositor or any of its Affiliates or the Initial Purchasers in connection with the initial issuance of the Certificates, any transfer of the Certificates between the Initial Purchasers and the Depositor or any of their Affiliates, or with respect to any transfer of the Certificates between the Depositor and any of its Affiliates.

 

A Person acquiring a Certificate or any interest therein shall make the applicable certifications set forth in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) below to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar (which in the case of the Book-Entry Certificates, the prospective transferee will be deemed to have represented such certifications by virtue of its purchase and holding of such Certificate), upon which certification the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar may rely without further inquiry or investigation, that each beneficial owner of a Certificate (other than an ERISA-Restricted Certificate or a Certificate that is not an ERISA-Restricted Certificate but is not subject to an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting) shall represent that (i) it is not, and is not acting on behalf of or using assets of, a Plan investor; (ii) it has acquired and is holding such Certificate in reliance on the Underwriter’s Exemption, and it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Underwriter’s Exemption, including that the Senior Certificates, Class B-1, Class B-2 or Class B-3 Certificates, as applicable, must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-” (or its equivalent) by at least one Rating Agency; or (iii) if the Certificate has been issued in an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the certificate or interest therein is an “insurance company general account,” as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption, or PTCE, 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.

(g)          (i)          No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate or a Certificate that is not subject to an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting in the form of a Definitive Certificate shall be made to any Person or shall be effective unless the Certificate Registrar, on behalf of the Securities Administrator, has received (A) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto (or Exhibit B, in the case of a Residual Certificate) from such transferee or (B) in the case of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is not a Residual Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar to the effect that the purchase or holding of such a Certificate is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in non-exempt prohibited transactions under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Securities Administrator to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement. Each Transferee of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate or a Certificate that is not an ERISA-Restricted Certificate but is not subject to an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting that is a Book-Entry Certificate shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Exhibit G. The preparation and delivery of the certificate and opinions referred to above shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Securities Administrator.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no opinion or certificate shall be required for the initial issuance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates. The Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation to monitor transfers of Book-Entry Certificates that are ERISA-Restricted Certificates and shall have no liability for transfers of such Certificates in violation of the transfer restrictions. The Certificate Registrar shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.03(g) and none of the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall have any liability for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with the foregoing requirements. The Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall be entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that was in fact a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of, or an entity holding “plan assets” of, a Plan any payments made on such ERISA-Restricted Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Securities Administrator shall be paid and delivered by the Securities Administrator to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate that is not such a Plan or Person acting on behalf of, or an entity holding “plan assets” of, a Plan.

 

(ii)         If any ERISA-Restricted Certificate, or any interest therein, is acquired or held in violation of the provisions of the preceding three paragraphs, then upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar of written notice that the registration of transfer of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate was not permitted by this Section 3.03(g), the next preceding permitted beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of that ERISA-Restricted Certificate, retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate, or interest therein, was effected in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall indemnify to the extent permitted by law and hold harmless the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition or holding.

 

(h)          As a condition of the registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate, the Certificate Registrar may require the certified taxpayer identification number of the owner of the Certificate and the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation to require such payment or to determine whether or not any such tax or charge may be applicable. No service charge shall be made to the Certificateholder for any registration, transfer or exchange of a Certificate.

(i)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Residual Certificate may be owned, pledged or transferred, directly or indirectly, by or to (i) a Disqualified Organization or (ii) an individual, corporation or partnership or other person unless such person is (A) not a Non-U.S. Person or (B) is a Non-U.S. Person that holds a Residual Certificate in connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States and has furnished the transferor and the Certificate Registrar with an effective Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or successor form at the time and in the manner required by the Code (any such person who is not covered by clause (A) or (B) above is referred to herein as a “Non-permitted Foreign Holder”). Solely for purposes of this paragraph 3.03(i), “Non-U.S. Person” means an individual, corporation, partnership or other person other than (i) a citizen or resident of the United States; (ii) a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, including for this purpose, the District of Columbia; (iii) an estate that is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of the source of its income; (iv) a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States trustees have authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust; and, (v) to the extent provided in Treasury regulations, certain trusts in existence on August 20, 1996 that are treated as United States persons prior to such date and elect to continue to be treated as United States persons.

 

Prior to and as a condition of the registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of a Residual Certificate (other than with respect to the initial issuance of the Residual Certificates), the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar, on behalf of the Trustee, an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B representing and warranting, among other things, that such transferee is neither a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee acting on behalf of a Disqualified Organization, nor a Non-permitted Foreign Holder (any such transferee, a “Permitted Transferee”), and the proposed transferor shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. In addition, the Certificate Registrar may (but shall have no obligation to) require, prior to and as a condition of any such transfer, the delivery by the proposed transferee of an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor, that such proposed transferee or, if the proposed transferee is an agent or nominee, the proposed beneficial owner, is not a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or a Non-permitted Foreign Holder. Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale, or other disposition of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, such registration shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder shall not be deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions on such Residual Certificate. The Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Paying Agent shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration or transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof or Non-permitted Foreign Holder or for the Paying Agent making any payments due on such Residual Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement, so long as the transfer was effected in accordance with this Section 3.03(i), unless a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar shall have actual knowledge at the time of such transfer or the time of such payment or other action that the transferee is a Disqualified Organization, or an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder. The Certificate Registrar shall be entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder at the time it became a Holder or any subsequent time it became a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either such times (and all costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection therewith). Any payment (not including any such costs and expenses) so recovered by the Certificate Registrar shall be paid and delivered to the last preceding Holder of such Residual Certificate.

 

- 68 -
 

 

If any purported transferee shall become a registered Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.03(i), then upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar of written notice that the registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section 3.03(i), the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of such registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.03(i), or for the Paying Agent making any payment due on such Certificate to the registered Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered upon receipt of the affidavit described in the preceding paragraph of this Section 3.03(i).

 

The following legend shall appear on all Residual Certificates:

In the case of each Exchangeable Combination, the Initial Exchangeable Certificates shall be exchangeable for the Exchangeable Certificates related to such Exchangeable Combination in respective denominations determined based on the initial Class Principal Amount or initial Class Notional Amount, as applicable, described on Appendix A hereto, as reduced by distributions of principal pursuant to Section 5.02 and any allocation of Realized Losses and Certificate Writedown Amounts pursuant to Section 5.03 on each Distribution Date prior to the Exchange date, as applicable. Upon any such Exchange, the portions of the Initial Exchangeable Certificates designated for exchange shall be deemed cancelled and replaced by the Exchangeable Certificates issued in exchange therefore. Correspondingly, Exchangeable Certificates related to a Exchangeable Combination may be further designated for exchange for the Initial Exchangeable Certificates or for other Exchangeable Certificates related to a Exchangeable Combination in respective denominations determined based on the proportion that the initial Certificate Principal Amount or initial Class Notional Amount, as applicable, of such Exchangeable Certificates bear to the initial Certificate Principal Amount of the Initial Exchangeable Certificates or the related Exchangeable Certificates, in each case, as set forth in Appendix A. There shall be no limitation on the number of Exchanges authorized pursuant to this Section 3.11, no fee or other charge shall be payable to the Trustee or the Depository in connection therewith.

 

If a Certificateholder wishes to exchange its Initial Exchangeable Certificates or Exchangeable Certificates, the Certificateholder must notify the Securities Administrator by e-mail at ctsspgexchanges@wellsfargo.com no later than three Business Days before the proposed exchange date. The exchange date can be any Business Day other than the first or last Business Day of the month, subject to the Securities Administrator’s approval. In addition, the Certificateholder must provide notice on the Certificateholder’s letterhead, which notice must carry a medallion stamp guarantee and set forth the following information: the CUSIP number of each Certificate to be exchanged and each Certificate to be received, the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount, as applicable, and the initial Class Principal Amount or initial Class Notional Amount, as applicable, of the Certificates to be exchanged, the Certificateholder’s DTC participant number and the proposed exchange date. After receiving such notice, the Securities Administrator will e-mail the Certificateholder with wire payment instructions relating to the Exchange Fee. The original exchange notice (bearing a medallion stamp guarantee) and the exchange fee must be received by the Securities Administrator prior to effecting any such exchange.

 

The Certificateholder will utilize the Deposit and Withdrawal System at DTC to exchange the Certificates. The Certificates to be exchanged must be in the correct exchange proportions. The Securities Administrator will verify the proposed proportions to ensure that the principal and interest entitlements of the Certificates received equal the entitlements of the Certificates surrendered. If there is an error, the exchange will not occur until such error is corrected. Unless rejected for error, the notice of exchange will become irrevocable on the second Business Day before the proposed exchange date.

The Trustee shall have no responsibility for any act or omission of the Master Servicer other than any act or omission performed by the Trustee in its capacity as a successor master servicer. In addition, the Trustee shall have no liability relating to the representations and warranties of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 9.03. In the Trustee’s capacity as successor master servicer, the Trustee shall have the same limitations on liability herein granted to the Master Servicer.

Further, notwithstanding the above, any entity designated by the Trustee as a successor master servicer may be an Affiliate of the Trustee if either the Trustee or such designated entity has either (i) a long-term unsecured debt rating of “BBB+” or higher from S&P or (ii) a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least “BBB” from S&P and short-term unsecured debt rating of at least “A-2" from S&P (or such lower long-term unsecured debt rating or lower short-term unsecured debt rating as is otherwise acceptable to S&P); provided, however, that, unless such Affiliate meets the net worth requirements and other standards set forth herein for a successor master servicer, the Trustee, in its individual capacity, shall agree, at the time of such designation, to be and remain liable to the Trust Fund for such Affiliate’s actions and omissions in performing its duties hereunder.

No successor master servicer (other than the Trustee, with respect to the failure of the Trustee to cooperate as set forth in subclause (ii) below) shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Securities Administrator to deliver, or any delay in delivering cash, documents or records to it related to such distribution, or (ii) the failure of Trustee or the Securities Administrator to cooperate as required by this Agreement.

 

(d)          In connection with such appointment and assumption of a successor master servicer, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted to the Master Servicer hereunder.

Article IX

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS BY THE MASTER SERVICER

 

Section 9.01          Duties of the Master Servicer; Enforcement of Servicer’s and Master Servicer’s Obligations .

 

(a)          The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders shall, from and after the Closing Date, monitor the performance of the Servicers and Five Oaks under this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. In performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with Accepted Master Servicing Practices. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall consult with each Servicer and Five Oaks as necessary from time to time to carry out the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder, shall receive and review all reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by each Servicer and Five Oaks and shall enforce the obligation of each Servicer and Five Oaks to duly and punctually to perform and observe the covenants, duties, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by such Servicer or Five Oaks under this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall independently and separately monitor each Servicer’s servicing activities with respect to each related Mortgage Loan in respect of the provisions of this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable, reconcile the reports and other data provided to the Master Servicer pursuant to the previous sentence on a monthly basis based on the Mortgage Loan data provided to the Master Servicer by or on behalf of the Depositor on the Closing Date (upon which data the Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely and with respect to which the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to confirm or verify) and coordinate corrective adjustments to the records of each Servicer and the Master Servicer, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, the Master Servicer shall provide such information to the Securities Administrator as shall be necessary in order for it to prepare the statements specified in Section 4.02, and prepare any other information and statements required to be forwarded by the Master Servicer hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of each Servicer to the Distribution Account pursuant to this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. In its review of the activities of any Servicer or Five Oaks, the Master Servicer may rely upon an Officer’s Certificate of such Servicer or Five Oaks, as applicable (or similar document signed by an officer of such Servicer or Five Oaks, as applicable), and with regard to each Servicer, such Servicer’s Assessment of Compliance and related Accountant’s Attestation or other accountants’ report provided to the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable, with regard to such Servicer’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. Subject to Section 9.08, the Master Servicer shall not be responsible or liable for the day-to-day servicing activities of any Servicer or Five Oaks or for any unlawful act or omission, breach, negligence, fraud, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Servicer or Five Oaks.

 

Upon the occurrence of an SPS Event of Default hereunder or event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for termination of PHH or Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing under the related Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Depositor thereof, and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the Master Servicer is taking in respect of such default. So long as any such event of default shall be continuing, the Master Servicer may, and shall, if it determines such action to be in the best interests of Certificateholders, (i) terminate all of the rights and powers of such Servicer pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable; (ii) exercise any rights it may have to enforce this Agreement against SPS or the related Servicing Agreement against the related Servicer; and/or (iii) waive any such default under this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable, or take any other action with respect to such default as is permitted hereunder or thereunder. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if the event of default is the failure of a Servicer to remit any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable, and such failure continues unremedied for the duration of the applicable grace period, then the Master Servicer shall terminate all of the rights and powers of such Servicer pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable, unless any waiver described under Section 6.16 shall have been obtained. If an event of default relating to Five Oak’s failure to remit any payment required to be made to PHH or Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing with respect to the Five Oaks MSR Mortgage Loans under the terms of the related Servicing Agreement occurs and such failure continues unremedied for the duration of the applicable grace period, then the Master Servicer shall terminate all of the rights and powers of Five Oaks pursuant to the applicable provisions of the related Servicing Agreement, unless any waiver described under Section 6.16 shall have been obtained.

(b)          Upon any termination by the Master Servicer of the rights and powers of a Servicer or Five Oaks pursuant to this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable, the rights and powers of such Servicer or Five Oaks, as applicable, with respect to the related Mortgage Loans shall vest in the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to such Servicer or Five Oaks as owner of the servicing rights for the Five Oaks MSR Mortgage Loans, as applicable, with respect to such Mortgage Loans under this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable, unless or until the Master Servicer shall have appointed a successor servicer, with the consent of the Trustee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld (or in the case of a termination of Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing or PHH with respect to the Five Oaks MSR Mortgage Loans, Five Oaks may appoint a successor to such Servicer with the consent of the Master Servicer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided further that, with respect to the appointment of a successor servicer, in accordance under this Agreement or the applicable provisions of the related Servicing Agreement, such successor servicer shall be (i) a Fannie Mae- or Freddie Mac-approved Person that is a member in good standing of MERS and (ii) have a net worth of at least $15,000,000; provided, further, that no Trustee or Master Servicer consent shall be required if the successor servicer was a Servicer on the Closing Date; provided, further, that it is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to a successor servicer (including the Master Servicer). In the event that the Master Servicer terminates Five Oaks, the ownership of the servicing rights with respect to the related Mortgage Loans shall transfer to the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust and the Master Servicer is authorized hereunder to transfer such servicing rights to any successor it appoints. Upon appointment of a successor servicer, as authorized under this Section 9.01(b), unless the successor servicer shall have assumed the obligations of the terminated Servicer under this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and such successor servicer (and Five Oaks in the case of the Five Oaks MSR Mortgage Loans) shall enter into a servicing agreement in a form substantially similar to the servicing provisions of this Agreement or the affected Servicing Agreement, as applicable, in a form mutually agreed upon by the parties thereto. In connection with any such appointment, the Master Servicer or Five Oaks, as applicable, may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor servicer as it and such successor shall agree. The Master Servicer in its sole discretion shall have the right to agree to compensation of a successor servicer that is in excess of that permitted to such Servicer under this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable, if such increase is, in its good faith judgment, necessary or advisable to engage a successor servicer. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Master Servicer be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential between the amount of the Servicing Fee paid to the original servicer and the amount necessary to induce any successor servicer to act as successor servicer hereunder. To the extent the successor servicer assumes the obligations of the terminated Servicer under this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable, the Master Servicer may amend this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable, to effect such change to the Servicing Fee without the consent of the Certificateholders.

 

- 117 -
 

 

The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement (including the termination of any Servicer or Five Oaks, the appointment of a successor servicer or the transfer and assumption of the servicing by the Master Servicer) at its own expense and shall be reimbursed therefor (i) by the terminated Servicer or Five Oaks, as applicable, (ii) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement only to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, (iii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorney’s fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed, or (iv) to the extent that such amounts described in (i)-(iii) above are not received by the Master Servicer within 30 days of the Master Servicer's request for reimbursement therefor, from the Trust Fund, as provided in Section 9.04. To the extent the Master Servicer recovers amounts described in (i)-(iii) above subsequent to its reimbursement from the Trust Fund pursuant to (iv) above, then the Master Servicer promptly will reimburse such amounts to the Trust Fund.

 

If the Master Servicer assumes the servicing with respect to any of the Mortgage Loans, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of any Servicer or Five Oaks being replaced or for the errors or omissions of such Servicer or Five Oaks.

 

(c)          Upon any termination of the rights and powers of any Servicer or Five Oaks pursuant to this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and each Rating Agency through the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider, specifying in such notice that the Master Servicer or any successor servicer, as the case may be, has succeeded the Servicer under this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement or has succeeded Five Oaks under the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable, which notice shall also specify the name and address of any such successor servicer or successor owner of the servicing rights, as applicable.

 

Section 9.02          Assumption of Master Servicing by Trustee .

 

(a)          In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement), the Trustee shall thereupon, in accordance with the terms of Section 6.14 hereof, assume all of the rights and obligations of such Master Servicer hereunder and under the related Servicing Agreement entered into with respect to the Mortgage Loans (if the Trustee has either (i) a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least “BBB+” from S&P or (ii) a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least “BBB” from S&P and a short-term unsecured debt rating of at least “A-2” from S&P (or such lower long-term unsecured debt rating or lower short-term unsecured debt rating as is otherwise acceptable to S&P)) or shall appoint as successor master servicer a Fannie-Mae or Freddie Mac-approved servicer that is acceptable to the Depositor and each Rating Agency and that has either (i) a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least “BBB+” from S&P or (ii) a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least “BBB” from S&P and a short-term unsecured debt rating of at least “A-2” from S&P (or such lower long-term unsecured debt rating or lower short-term unsecured debt rating as is otherwise acceptable to S&P). The Trustee, its designee or any successor master servicer appointed by the Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the replaced Master Servicer’s interest herein and, with respect to the related Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed to have assumed all of the replaced Master Servicer's interest herein and therein to the same extent as if such related Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party; provided that the replaced Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations of such replaced Master Servicer this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable, accruing prior to its replacement as Master Servicer, and shall be liable to the Trustee or any successor master servicer therefor, and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee or any successor master servicer from and against all costs, damages, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any successor master servicer as a result of such liability or obligations of the replaced Master Servicer and in connection with the Trustee’s or such successor master servicer’s assumption (but not its performance, except to the extent that costs or liability of the Trustee or any successor master servicer are created or increased as a result of negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of the replaced Master Servicer prior to its replacement as Master Servicer) of the Master Servicer’s obligations, duties or responsibilities thereunder.

 

- 118 -
 

 

(b)          The replaced Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee but at the expense of such replaced Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to the servicing hereunder by SPS or of PHH,Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing and Five Oaks under the related Servicing Agreement and the related Mortgage Loans and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it, and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the servicing provisions hereunder or the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable, to the assuming party.

 

Section 9.03          Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Master Servicer .

 

(a)          The Master Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator (to the extent that the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are not the same Person), SPS and the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, as of the Closing Date that:

 

(i)          it is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America as a national banking association, and as Master Servicer has full power and authority to transact any and all business contemplated by this Agreement and to execute, deliver and comply with its obligations under the terms of this Agreement, the execution, delivery and performance of which have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Master Servicer;

 

(ii)         the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Master Servicer and its performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not (A) violate the Master Servicer’s charter or bylaws, (B) violate any law or regulation or any administrative decree or order to which it is subject or (C) constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any material contract, agreement or other instrument to which the Master Servicer is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of its assets are subject, which violation, default or breach would materially and adversely affect the Master Servicer’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement;

 

(iii)        this Agreement constitutes, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the other respective parties hereto, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Master Servicer, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general, and by general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

 

- 119 -
 

 

(iv)        the Master Servicer is not in default with respect to any order or decree of any court or any order or regulation of any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency to the extent that any such default would materially and adversely affect its performance hereunder;

 

(v)         the Master Servicer is not a party to or bound by any agreement or instrument or subject to any charter provision, bylaw or any other corporate restriction or any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, law or regulation that may materially and adversely affect its ability as Master Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement or that requires the consent of any third person to the execution of this Agreement or the performance by the Master Servicer of its obligations under this Agreement;

 

(vi)        no litigation is pending or, to the best of the Master Servicer’s knowledge, threatened against the Master Servicer which would prohibit its entering into this Agreement or performing its obligations under this Agreement;

 

(vii)       the Master Servicer, or an affiliate thereof the primary business of which is the servicing of conventional residential mortgage loans, is a Fannie Mae- or Freddie Mac-approved seller/servicer;

 

(viii)      no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Master Servicer of or compliance by the Master Servicer with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except such consents, approvals, authorizations and orders (if any) as have been obtained; and

 

(ix)         the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are in the ordinary course of business of the Master Servicer.

 

(b)          It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement. In addition to any indemnity required pursuant to Section 6.25 hereof, the Master Servicer shall indemnify the Depositor, the Securities Administrator (to the extent that the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are not the same Person), SPS and the Trustee and hold them harmless against any loss, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a material breach of the Master Servicer’s representations and warranties contained in Section 9.03(a) or any failure by the Master Servicer to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material when and as required under this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the enforcement of the obligation of the Master Servicer set forth in this Section to indemnify the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, SPS and the Trustee as provided in this Section 9.03(b) constitutes the sole remedy (other than as set forth in Section 6.14) of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, SPS and the Trustee, respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties. Such indemnification shall survive any termination of the Master Servicer as Master Servicer hereunder, and any termination of this Agreement.

 

Any cause of action against the Master Servicer relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in this Section 9.03(b) shall accrue upon discovery of such breach by either the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee or written notice thereof by any one of such parties to the other parties.

 

- 120 -
 

 

The Master Servicer shall not be responsible for the validity, priority, perfection or sufficiency of the security of the Certificates issued or intended to be issued hereunder.

 

(c)          The Master Servicer covenants and agrees that it shall not hold or purchase any Certificate if its holding or purchase of such Certificate (or interest therein) would cause the Master Servicer to be required to consolidate any assets of the Trust Fund on its financial statements under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“Consolidate” or “Consolidation”). The Master Servicer shall be deemed to have represented by virtue of its purchase or holding of such Certificate (or interest therein) that its holding or purchase of such Certificate (or interest therein) will not cause the Master Servicer to be required to Consolidate any assets of the Trust on its financial statements.

 

If the Master Servicer's holding or purchase of a Certificate (or interest therein) does in fact cause such Consolidation, then the last preceding transferee that is not required to Consolidate shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as owner of such Certificate retroactive to the date of such transfer of such Certificate. If the Master Servicer holds or purchases a Certificate (or interest therein) in violation of the restrictions in this Section 9.03(c) and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the owner of such Certificate as described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the Securities Administrator shall have the right, without notice to the owner or any prior owner of such Certificate, to sell such Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Securities Administrator on such terms as the Securities Administrator may choose. The Master Servicer shall promptly endorse and deliver such Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the Securities Administrator. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Securities Administrator or its affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, shall be remitted by the Securities Administrator to the Master Servicer. The terms and conditions of any sale under this Section 9.03(c) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Securities Administrator, and the Securities Administrator shall not be liable to any owner of a Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion. The Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and the Trust Fund from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such holding or purchase by the Master Servicer resulting in a Consolidation.

 

(d)          The Master Servicer covenants and agrees that it shall not transfer its master servicing rights and duties under this Agreement to an insured depository institution, as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (an “insured depository institution”, and any such insured depository institution in such capacity, a “master servicer transferee”) unless the Master Servicer shall have received a representation from the master servicer transferee that the acquisition of such master servicing rights and duties will not cause the master servicer transferee to be required to Consolidate any assets of the Trust Fund on its financial statements. Any master servicer transferee shall be deemed to have represented by virtue of its acquisition of such master servicing rights and duties that such acquisition will not cause Consolidation. Any master servicer transferee whose acquisition of such master servicing rights and duties was effected in violation of the restrictions in this Section 9.03(d) shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trust Fund from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition.

The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as provided in this Agreement.

 

Section 9.05          Merger or Consolidation .

 

Any Person into which the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion, other change in form or consolidation to which the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Master Servicer, shall be the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or resulting Person to the Master Servicer or any Affiliate thereof whose primary business is the servicing of conventional residential mortgage loans shall be a Person that shall be qualified and approved to service mortgage loans for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and shall have a net worth of not less than $15,000,000.

 

Section 9.06          Resignation of Master Servicer .

 

Except as otherwise provided in Sections 9.05 and 9.07 hereof, the Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it unless the Master Servicer’s duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it and such conflict cannot be cured. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel that shall be Independent to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee shall have assumed, or a successor master servicer shall have been appointed by the Trustee and until such successor shall have assumed, the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement. Notice of such resignation shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer and the Depositor to the Trustee.

 

If, at any time, the Master Servicer resigns under this Section 9.06, or transfers or assigns its rights and obligations under Section 9.07, or is removed as Master Servicer pursuant to Section 6.14, then at such time Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. also shall resign (and shall be entitled to resign) as Securities Administrator, Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent and Certificate Registrar under this Agreement. In such event, the obligations of each such party shall be assumed by the Trustee or such successor master servicer appointed by the Trustee (subject to the provisions of Section 9.02(a)).

 

- 122 -
 

 

Section 9.07          Assignment or Delegation of Duties by the Master Servicer .

 

Except as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall have the right with the prior written consent of the Trustee and the Depositor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), to delegate or assign to or subcontract with or authorize or appoint any qualified Person to perform and carry out any duties, covenants or obligations to be performed and carried out by the Master Servicer hereunder. Notice of such permitted assignment shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer to the Depositor and the Trustee. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer are transferred to a successor master servicer, the entire amount of the Master Servicing Fee and other compensation payable to the Master Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor master servicer. Such successor master servicer shall also pay the fees of the Securities Administrator, as provided herein, and of the Custodian, as provided in the Custodial Agreement.

 

Section 9.08          Limitation on Liability of the Master Servicer and Others .

 

Neither the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trustee or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Master Servicer or any such person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in its performance of its duties or by reason of reckless disregard for its obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties to master service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Master Servicer may in its sole discretion undertake any such action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Distribution Account.

 

Section 9.09          Indemnification; Third-Party Claims .

 

In addition to any indemnity required pursuant to Section 6.25 hereof, the Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Depositor, the Securities Administrator (to the extent that the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are not the same Person), SPS and the Trustee, and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liability, fees and expenses that the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, SPS or the Trustee may sustain as a result of the Master Servicer’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless disregard for its obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Depositor, the Securities Administrator (to the extent that the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are not the same Person), SPS and the Trustee shall immediately notify the Master Servicer if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans entitling the Depositor, the Securities Administrator (to the extent that the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are not the same Person), SPS or the Trustee to indemnification under this Section 9.09, whereupon the Master Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim.

Article X

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS BY SPS

 

Section 10.01          Engagement of SPS to Perform Servicing Responsibilities .

 

The Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, does hereby contract with SPS, subject to the terms of this Agreement, for the servicing of the Mortgage Loans indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached hereto as being serviced by SPS. SPS shall commence such servicing, and the provisions of this Agreement shall apply to the parties hereto, as of the Closing Date. SPS shall maintain a Servicing File with respect to each Mortgage Loan in order to service such Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement and each Servicing File delivered to SPS shall be held in trust by SPS for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certifcateholders. The Servicing File retained by SPS pursuant to this Agreement shall be identified in accordance with SPS’s file tracking system to reflect the ownership of the related Mortgage Loan by the Trustee on behalf of the Certifcateholders. SPS shall release from its custody the contents of any Servicing File retained by it only in accordance with this Agreement. For the purposes of this Article X, the term “Mortgage Loan” shall only refer to the Mortgage Loans serviced by SPS pursuant to this Agreement.

 

Section 10.02          SPS to Service.

 

SPS, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer the related Mortgage Loans on behalf of Five Oaks as owner of the Servicing Rights with respect to the related Mortgage Loans from and after the Closing Date in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, applicable law and this Agreement, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which SPS may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices.

 

SPS is hereby authorized and empowered to work with third-party origination providers to refinance Mortgagors into new mortgage loans, including new mortgage loans with principal balances less than the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan by forgiving a portion of the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, so long as the Mortgagors are not selected for solicitation based on the inclusion of the related Mortgage Loans on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and such refinancing is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and is determined by SPS, in good faith, to likely result in a higher expected recovery of net proceeds taking into account the risks of recovery to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders than continuing to own the Mortgage Loan or other loss mitigation alternatives; provided that such Mortgage Loan is in default or SPS has determined that default is reasonably foreseeable.

 

- 124 -
 

 

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement (including, but not limited to any direction, approval or consent required by Section 2.08 hereof), Accepted Servicing Practices and applicable law, SPS may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan (including entering into a Servicing Modification) or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in SPS’s reasonable and prudent determination the related Mortgagor is in default with respect to such Mortgage Loan or SPS has determined default is foreseeable and such waiver, Servicing Modification, postponement or indulgence is determined by SPS, in good faith, to likely result in a higher expected recovery of net proceeds taking into account the risks of recovery; provided, however, that SPS shall offer a Servicing Modification in accordance with the guidelines of HAMP with respect to any Mortgage Loan that qualifies for such a modification under the guidelines of HAMP and provided that any modification that extends the maturity of any such Mortgage Loan shall in no instance extend the maturity of such Mortgage Loan past the Latest Possible Maturity Date. Any servicer incentive payment payable to SPS in connection with a modification under guidelines of HAMP may be retained by SPS as additional compensation. With respect to any Servicing Modification of a Mortgage Loan where SPS capitalizes Advances and/or Servicing Advances previously made on such Mortgage Loan, SPS shall be entitled to reimburse itself at the time of such Servicing Modification for any Advances and/or a Servicing Advances so capitalized pursuant to Section 10.06(viii) hereof. In addition, in connection with any Servicing Modification, SPS shall be entitled to reimburse itself for Servicing Advances incurred in connection with defending against an ability-to-repay claim by the Mortgagor, at the time of such Servicing Modification in accordance with Section 10.06(x).

 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, SPS shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver on behalf of itself and the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge or note endorsement and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties. On the Closing Date and as required by SPS from time to time, the Trustee shall furnish SPS with any limited powers of attorney (in a form agreed to by the Trustee) and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable SPS to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be held liable for any misuse of any such power of attorney or other documents by SPS.

 

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (except the provisions of Section 2.08 relating to direction, approval or consent hereof which shall apply), no waiver, modification, variance, postponement of compliance or indulgence made or proposed to be made by SPS in accordance with the foregoing shall require the consent of the Trustee or any other entity.

 

SPS is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of any Subservicer, when SPS or such Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it is appropriate in its best judgment to cause the removal of any Mortgage Loan from registration on the MERS System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment. Any related expenses shall be reimbursable to SPS from the Trust Fund. The Trustee and the Master Servicer shall have no duty to monitor the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS System. Upon the occurrence of a MERS Event with respect to any or all of the Mortgage Loans, SPS shall deregister such Mortgage Loans from MERS and cause MERS to prepare an Assignment of Mortgage within 15 Business Days with respect to each such Mortgage Loan in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, and any other notice, document or instrument as may be necessary to effect or evidence the transfer of each such related Mortgage to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. SPS shall notify the Master Servicer and Trustee upon the removal of a Mortgage Loan registered on MERS from the MERS System. SPS shall deliver such Assignment of Mortgage to the Custodian for inclusion in the files of the Custodian.

 

- 125 -
 

 

SPS shall not without the written consent of the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor, as the case may be: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the name of the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor, as applicable, without indicating SPS’s representative capacity or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and which actually does cause, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor to be registered to do business in any state. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, SPS (subject to any direction, approval or consent required by Section 2.08 hereof) is authorized to initiate foreclosure or similar proceedings in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders without the Trustee’s consent.

 

In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, SPS shall employ procedures (including collection procedures) intended to likely result in a higher expected recovery of net proceeds taking into account the risks of recovery from the Mortgage Loans for the Certificateholders and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering mortgage loans for its own account giving due consideration to Accepted Servicing Practices and applicable law.

 

SPS may use Subservicers in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that any such arrangements shall be consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder and SPS shall remain obligated and liable to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Custodian, Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from any such Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if SPS alone were servicing and administering those Mortgage Loans. All actions of each Subservicer shall be performed as agent of SPS with the same force and effect as if performed directly by SPS.

 

SPS will furnish, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company, and any successors thereto, on a monthly basis.

 

SPS shall promptly forward to the Custodian original documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with this Agreement, provided, however, that SPS shall promptly provide the Custodian with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation, and shall provide the original of any document submitted for recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. No Servicing Modification shall be recorded unless required by applicable law.

 

SPS shall make Advances and Servicing Advances with respect to each Mortgage Loan in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and Section 10.35 of this Agreement, provided that notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, SPS shall not be required to make any Advance or Servicing Advance for which a determination is made by SPS that such Advance or Servicing Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

Section 10.03       Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

 

Continuously from the Closing Date until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full and all REO Properties acquired with respect thereto have been liquidated, SPS shall proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, Accepted Servicing Practices and applicable law. Further, in connection with any Mortgage Loan providing for Escrow Payments by the related Mortgagor, SPS shall take special care in ascertaining and estimating annual ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, fire and hazard insurance premiums, mortgage insurance premiums, and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become due and payable to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors as Escrow Payments will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

 

Section 10.04       Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

 

(a)          In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, SPS shall take such action as it shall determine, in good faith, will likely result in a higher expected recovery of net proceeds taking into account the risks of recovery subject to obtaining the required, direction, approval or consent pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof and subject to the REMIC Provisions, a Servicing Modification, assumption, forbearance, extension, short sale, short refinancing, third party sale, deed-in-lieu transaction and, if the mortgagor is unresponsive, acquiring title to the Mortgaged Property through foreclosure as set forth in Section 10.14 hereof. SPS shall use its best efforts, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, applicable law and the procedures that SPS would use in servicing loans for its own account, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of each Mortgaged Property for which the Mortgage Loan is and continues to be in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 10.02 and the first sentence of this Section 10.04. SPS shall use its best efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such a manner as it determines in good faith, will likely result in a higher expected recovery of net proceeds taking into account the risks of recovery, including, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, SPS shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by SPS through Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property as contemplated in Section 10.06. In connection therewith, SPS shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such foreclosure or collection proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof as contemplated in Section 10.06.

 

(b)          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.04, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which SPS has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property SPS shall not (i) cause the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders to obtain title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise or (ii) otherwise cause the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders to acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, such Mortgaged Property if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Depositor would be considered to hold title to, to be a mortgagee-in-possession of, or to be an owner or operator of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless SPS has also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and an environmental report prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards, that:

 

- 127 -
 

 

(i)          such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders to take such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith; and

 

(ii)         there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are present for which such action could be required, that it would be advisable considering the economic interest of the Certificateholders (in the aggregate) to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.

 

SPS shall not be required to obtain an environmental report of such Mortgaged Property unless the Mortgagor has consented or agreed to provide access to such Mortgaged Property for such report. The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 10.04 shall be advanced by SPS, subject to SPS’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 10.06(iv).

 

If SPS determines, as described above, that it is advisable considering the economic interest of the Certificateholders (in the aggregate) to take such actions as are necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then SPS shall take such action, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and applicable law, as it deems to be advisable considering the economic interest of the Certificateholders (in the aggregate). The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by SPS, subject to SPS’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 10.06(iv).

 

(c)          Proceeds received in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, including any recovery of Liquidation Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in the following order of priority (to the extent permitted by applicable law): first, to reimburse SPS for any related unreimbursed Servicing Fees, Advances or Servicing Advances, pursuant to Section 10.06(ii); second, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery Determination, or to the Due Date prior to the Servicer Remittance Date on which such amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and third, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, as a recovery of principal of such Mortgage Loan. SPS shall maintain records, prepared by an officer of SPS, of each Final Recovery Determination.

 

Section 10.05          Establishment of Collection Account; Deposits in Collection Account.

 

SPS shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain on behalf of, and as an agent of, the Issuer, a segregated Collection Account, which shall be an Eligible Account, entitled “Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc., in trust for Christiana Trust, a division of Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of CSMC Trust 2014-OAK1 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Collection Account.” SPS shall deposit in the Collection Account on a daily basis within two (2) Business Days of identification, and retain therein the following payments and collections received by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date:

 

- 128 -
 

 

(i)          all payments on account of principal of the Mortgage Loans, including Principal Prepayments and HAMP incentive payments received by the Trust Fund as investor;

 

(ii)         all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans;

 

(iii)        all Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds;

 

(iv)        all Advances made by SPS pursuant to Section 10.35;

 

(v)         the amount of any Servicer Compensating Interest Payment for SPS for the related Prepayment Period (such deposit shall be made from SPS’s own funds, without reimbursement therefor);

 

(vi)        any amounts required to be deposited by SPS pursuant to Section 10.12 in connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy. Such deposit shall be made from SPS’s own funds, without reimbursement therefor; and

 

(vii)       any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder.

 

The deposits pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) may, at SPS’s option, be net of the related Servicing Fee. The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, assumption fees, servicer incentive fees received by SPS in connection with a Servicing Modification in accordance with the guidelines of HAMP and other ancillary income to the extent permitted by Section 10.21, need not be deposited by SPS in the Collection Account. Any interest or earnings on funds deposited in the Collection Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of SPS and SPS shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 10.06(iii). SPS shall give notice to the Securities Administrator, Trustee and the Master Servicer of the location of the Collection Account when established and prior to any change thereof in accordance with Section 10.10 hereof.

 

Funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall either (i) remain uninvested or (ii) be invested in Eligible Investments, which Eligible Investments shall mature or be subject to redemption or withdrawal on or prior to the next occurring Servicer Remittance Date. If such funds are deposited in Eligible Investments, any and all investment earnings from any such Eligible Investments shall be for the benefit of SPS, and the risk of loss of moneys required to be remitted to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account resulting from such investments shall be borne by and be the risk of SPS. The amount of any losses realized in the Collection Account in respect of any such Eligible Investments shall promptly be deposited by SPS from its own funds in the Collection Account.

 

Section 10.06          Permitted Withdrawals From the Collection Account.

 

SPS may, from time to time, withdraw from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account for the following purposes:

 

- 129 -
 

 

(i)          to make distributions to the Securities Administrator for deposit to the Distribution Account in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 10.15;

 

(ii)         to the extent not previously reimbursed, to reimburse SPS for unreimbursed Advances or Servicing Advances made by SPS, SPS’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related Liquidation Proceeds and such other amounts as may be collected by SPS from the Mortgagor or otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan;

 

(iii)        to pay to itself pursuant to Section 10.21 as servicing compensation (A) any interest earned on funds in the Collection Account (all such interest to be withdrawn monthly not later than each Servicer Remittance Date), and (B) the Servicing Fee for each Mortgage Loan (to the extent not retained by SPS);

 

(iv)        to pay, or to reimburse SPS for advances in respect of, expenses incurred in connection with any Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 10.04(b);

 

(v)         to clear and terminate the Collection Account on the termination of this Agreement;

 

(vi)        to withdraw any amount deposited therein in error;

 

(vii)       to the extent not previously reimbursed, to reimburse SPS for any Advances or Servicing Advances, previously made by SPS which SPS has determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance;

 

(viii)      to reimburse itself for any Capitalization Reimbursement Amounts at the time of the modification of any Mortgage Loan to the extent such Capitalization Reimbursement Amounts were previously remitted by SPS as part of an Advance or a Servicing Advance and not previously reimbursed; provided, that such reimbursements shall only be made out of the principal portion of collections on the Mortgage Loans;

 

(ix)         to pay itself any Prepayment Interest Excess; provided that SPS shall only be entitled to any Prepayment Interest Excess with respect to any Mortgage Loan and any Distribution Date if the related Principal Prepayment is deposited to the related Collection Account pursuant to Section 10.05 hereof in the same month as such Principal Prepayment is made, to be included with distributions on such Distribution Date;

 

(x)          to reimburse itself for any Servicing Advances incurred in connection with defending against an ability-to-repay claim by the Mortgagor at the time of a Servicing Modification to the related Mortgage Loan; and

 

(xi)         to reimburse SPS for expenses incurred by or reimbursable to SPS pursuant to Section 10.32.

 

In the case of each such reimbursement set forth above and payment of the servicing compensation, SPS’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Certificateholders or any other Person.

 

- 130 -
 

 

SPS shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Collection Account pursuant to such subclauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (vii) and (viii) above.

 

Section 10.07          Deposits in Escrow Account.

 

SPS shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain on behalf of, and as an agent of, the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, a segregated Escrow Account, which shall be an Eligible Account, entitled “Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc., in trust for Christiana Trust, a division of Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of CSMC Trust 2014-OAK1 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Escrow Account.”

 

SPS shall deposit in the Escrow Account on a daily basis within two (2) Business Days of identification, and retain therein, all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement. SPS shall make withdrawals therefrom only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be as set forth in, or in accordance with, Section 10.08. SPS shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by applicable law to be paid to the Mortgagor and, to the extent required by applicable law, SPS shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.

 

Section 10.08          Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

 

Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by SPS (i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, hazard insurance premiums and comparable items, (ii) to reimburse SPS for any Advance or Servicing Advances made by SPS with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or collections of Escrow Payments thereunder, (iii) to refund to the Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be overages, (iv) for transfer to the Collection Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (v) for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property, (vi) to pay to SPS, or to the Mortgagor to the extent required by applicable law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, or (vii) to withdraw any amount deposited therein in error.

 

Section 10.09          Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Collections Thereunder.

 

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, SPS shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of fire and hazard insurance coverage and, to the extent the Mortgage provides for Escrow Payments, shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges, including insurance renewal premiums and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by SPS in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage and applicable law. To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, SPS shall use commercially reasonable efforts to determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor, and if SPS has knowledge that any such payments have not been made by the Mortgagor, SPS shall make a Servicing Advance for payment of property taxes to the extent needed to prevent the related Mortgaged Property from being subject to a tax sale unless SPS shall deem such Servicing Advance to be nonrecoverable, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

 

- 131 -
 

 

Section 10.10          Transfer of Accounts.

 

SPS may transfer the Collection Account or the Escrow Account to a different depository institution from time to time. In any case, each of the Collection Account and the Escrow Account shall at all times be maintained as an Eligible Account. SPS shall give notice to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator of any proposed change of location of the Collection Account or Escrow Account, as applicable, not later than thirty (30) days after and not more that thirty (30) days prior to any change thereof.

 

Section 10.11          Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

 

SPS shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan with sufficient equity (as determined by SPS in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, including its net present value model), fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the related Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the full insurable value of such Mortgaged Property or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, in each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the Mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer; provided, however, if the Mortgagor allows such coverage to lapse, SPS shall procure coverage equal to the higher of (x) the last known coverage amount, if available, or (y) the Stated Principal Balance.

 

With respect to each Mortgage Loan with sufficient equity (as determined by SPS in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, including its net present value model), if such Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and such flood insurance has been made available, SPS will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the full insurable value of the related Mortgaged Property or (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968. Pursuant to Section 10.05, any amounts collected by SPS under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with SPS’s normal servicing procedures, shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 10.06. Except in connection with a Servicing Modification, any cost incurred by SPS in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to the Securities Administrator, be added to the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. SPS shall not be required to maintain any such insurance if the related Servicing Advance therefor would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance need be required by SPS of the Mortgagor or property acquired in respect of a Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to SPS and shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount of, or material change in, coverage to SPS. SPS shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent; provided, however, that SPS shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are Qualified Insurers.

 

- 132 -
 

 

Section 10.12          Maintenance of Blanket Hazard Insurance Policy.

 

In the event that SPS shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy issued by a Qualified Insurer that has a rating in Best’s Key Rating Guide of A:VI or is acceptable to prudent mortgage servicers insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgaged Properties, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 10.11 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 10.11, SPS shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 10.11, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause. In connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, SPS agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request of the Trustee or Master Servicer, SPS shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee or Master Servicer, as applicable, a certified true copy of such policy or a certificate evidencing such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Trustee and Master Servicer.

 

Section 10.13          Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.

 

SPS shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies that would meet the requirements of Freddie Mac on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. Such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall protect and insure SPS against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such fidelity bond shall also protect and insure SPS against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any Insurance Policies required pursuant to this Agreement. No provision of this Section 3.12 requiring the fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve SPS from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Freddie Mac in the Freddie Mac Sellers’ and Servicers’ Guide. Upon request of the Trustee or Master Servicer, SPS shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee or Master Servicer, as applicable, a certified true copy of the fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance certificate evidencing the same and a statement from the surety and the insurer that such fidelity bond or insurance policy may not be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Trustee and Master Servicer.

 

Section 10.14          Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

 

In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued in the name of the Trustee, on behalf of the and Certificateholders of the CSMC Trust 2014-OAK1, or its designee. The Trustee’s name shall be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity. SPS shall ensure that the title to such REO Property references this Agreement and the Trustee’s capacity hereunder.

 

- 133 -
 

 

SPS shall either itself or through an agent selected by SPS, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property (and may temporarily rent the same) in the same manner that it conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is conserved, protected and operated consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and applicable law. SPS shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least quarterly thereafter. SPS shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Servicing File. Consistent with the terms of this Agreement (including, but not limited to any direction, approval or consent required pursuant to Section 2.08), SPS shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible, subject to its obligation to conserve, protect and operate each such REO Property solely for the purpose resulting in a higher expected recovery of net proceeds. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such property, SPS shall either itself or through an agent selected by SPS, protect and conserve such property in the same manner and to such an extent as is customary in the locality where such property is located and consistent with applicable law. Additionally, SPS shall perform any tax withholding and reporting required by the Code.

 

Each REO disposition shall be carried out by SPS at such price and upon such terms and conditions as SPS determines in good faith, to likely result in a higher expected recovery of net proceeds taking into account the risks of recovery.

 

Section 10.15          Remittances.

Upon request, SPS shall forward to the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer (or a designee thereof) a statement prepared by SPS setting forth the status of the Collection Account as of the end of the Collection Period preceding the most recent Servicer Remittance Date and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the aggregate amount of deposits into and withdrawals from the Collection Account of each category of deposit specified in Section 10.05 and each category of withdrawal specified in Section 10.06.

 

SPS shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any and all tax returns, information statements or other filings that SPS is required to deliver to any governmental taxing authority or to the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and each successor in interest pursuant to any applicable law with respect to the Mortgage Loans arising after the Closing Date. In addition, SPS shall provide, not more than 60 days after the end of each calendar year, the Securities Administrator with such information reasonably available to SPS arising after the Closing Date concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for such Party to prepare any income tax return or report as any such Party may reasonably request from time to time. SPS shall not be responsible for any REMIC tax returns or tax returns of the Trust Fund.

 

Section 10.18          Compliance with the Homes Act.

 

SPS, on behalf of the Certificateholders, shall prepare and distribute a Section 404 Notice to each Mortgagor within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date in connection with the sale of the Mortgage Loans from the Seller to the Depositor. Each such Section 404 Notice shall conform to the form of notice attached hereto as Exhibit K or in another form reasonably acceptable to SPS, subject to any changes necessitated by regulatory guidance. SPS shall pay all costs associated with the distribution of such Section 404 Notice, and the Seller shall reimburse SPS for such costs. SPS shall promptly send written confirmation to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator upon the completion of the distribution of such Section 404 Notices.

 

Section 10.19          Assumption Agreements.

 

SPS shall, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any “due-on-sale” clause applicable thereto; provided, however, that SPS shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by applicable law from doing so. If SPS reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, SPS shall enter into an assumption agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. Where an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Section 10.19, SPS is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement.

 

- 135 -
 

 

In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, SPS shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of prudent mortgage lenders in the state in which the related Mortgaged Property is located. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Rate, the amount of the Scheduled Payment, and the final maturity date of such Mortgage Note may not be changed. The original of any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement shall be added to the related Trustee Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Trustee Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected by SPS for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall be for the benefit of SPS as part of its servicing compensation.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section or any other provision of this Agreement, SPS shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which SPS may be restricted by applicable law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 1019, the term “assumption” is deemed to also include a sale of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.

 

Section 10.20          Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Trustee Mortgage Files.

 

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by SPS of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, SPS shall request execution of any document necessary to satisfy the Mortgage Loan and delivery to it of the Trustee Mortgage File held by the Custodian by delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Custodian shall promptly release the related Trustee Mortgage File to SPS and SPS shall prepare and process any satisfaction or release. Any such reasonable expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be deemed a Servicing Advance.

 

From time to time and as appropriate for servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, the Custodian shall, pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, upon request of SPS and delivery to the Custodian of a request for release, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit I (a “Request for Release”), signed by a Servicing Officer, release the Trustee Mortgage File or requested portion thereof held by the Custodian to SPS. SPS shall return the related Trustee Mortgage File to the Custodian when the need therefor by SPS no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated or sold and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection Account or the Trustee Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by applicable law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially. Upon the Custodian’s receipt of the Request for Release indicating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the Trustee Mortgage File shall be released by the Custodian to SPS, and the Custodian shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Trustee Mortgage File.

 

Section 10.21          Servicing Compensation.

 

As compensation for its services hereunder, SPS shall be entitled to withdraw from the Collection Account or to retain from collections on the Mortgage Loans the amounts provided for as SPS’s Servicing Fee. Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided in Section 10.19, late payment charges, servicer incentive fees received by SPS in connection with a Servicing Modification in accordance with the guidelines of HAMP and similar ancillary servicing compensation shall be retained by SPS to the extent not required to be deposited in the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 10.05. In addition, SPS shall be entitled to investment earnings from Eligible Investments of funds on deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 10.05 and the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 10.08. SPS shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for herein. Upon the termination of SPS and any transfer of servicing hereunder, SPS is entitled to reimbursement for any outstanding and unreimbursed Servicing Fees, Advances and Servicing Advances; provided, that any such amounts shall only be payable to SPS in accordance with and to the extent provided in this Agreement. SPS shall be entitled to any Prepayment Interest Excess as additional servicing compensation.

Section 10.22        Access to Certain Documentation; No Certificateholder or Certificate Owner Access to Mortgage Loan Documentation or Records.

 

SPS shall provide to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the FDIC and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator by applicable laws and regulations access to all records and documentation in its possession regarding the Mortgage Loans. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of SPS.

 

In addition, SPS shall provide access to all records and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator without charge, upon reasonable request during normal business hours at the offices of SPS; provided, however, none of SPS, Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator shall provide access to the records and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner or any party acting on behalf of any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner.

 

SPS shall provide to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Custodian a list of Servicing Officers on the Closing Date and shall update such list and deliver an updated list to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Custodian as necessary.

 

Section 10.23         Reports and Returns to be Filed by SPS.

 

SPS shall file information reports with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business, reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and information returns relating to cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code for the period following the Closing Date. Such reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.

Section 10.24          Sub-Servicing Agreements Between SPS and Subservicers.

 

SPS, as servicer, may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage Loan by a Subservicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement; provided, that such sub-servicing arrangement and the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder; provided, further, that any fees or expenses of such Subservicer shall be payable solely by SPS and shall not result in any increase of the Servicing Fee payable to SPS. Each Subservicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by law applicable to the Subservicer to enable the Subservicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) a Freddie Mac approved mortgage servicer. Notwithstanding the provisions of any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between SPS or a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through SPS or otherwise, SPS shall remain obligated and liable hereunder for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if SPS alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. Every Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by SPS shall contain a provision giving the successor servicer the option to terminate such agreement in the event a successor servicer is appointed. All actions of each Subservicer performed pursuant to the related Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be performed as an agent of SPS with the same force and effect as if performed directly by SPS.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, SPS shall be deemed to have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are received by a Subservicer regardless of whether such payments are remitted by the Subservicer to SPS

 

Section 10.25          Successor Subservicers.

 

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that SPS shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and to either itself directly service the related Mortgage Loans or enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer which qualifies under Section 10.24. Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may be immediately terminated by any successor to SPS without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that SPS (or any successor to SPS) shall, for any reason, no longer be the servicer of the related Mortgage Loans (including termination due to a SPS Event of Default). Any costs incurred by a successor Servicer in terminating a Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by a terminated Servicer and the transfer of servicing in connection therewith shall be reimbursable to the successor Servicer as Servicing Transfer Costs as provided in Section 9.01.

 

Section 10.26          No Contractual Relationship Between Subservicer and the Trustee and Master Servicer.

 

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and SPS alone and neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall be deemed a party thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to any Subservicer except as set forth in Section 10.24.

 

Section 10.27          Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreement by Successor Servicer.

 

In connection with the assumption of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities and of the authority, power and rights of SPS hereunder by a successor Servicer pursuant to Section 10.34 of this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that SPS’s rights and obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement then in force between SPS and a Subservicer shall be assumed simultaneously by such successor Servicer without act or deed on the part of such successor servicer; provided, however, that any successor Servicer may terminate the Subservicer.

 

SPS shall, upon the reasonable request of the Master Servicer, but at SPS’s own expense, deliver to the assuming party documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing Agreement and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.

SPS has all licenses necessary to carry out its business as now being conducted, and is licensed and qualified to transact business in and is in good standing under the laws of each state in which any Mortgaged Property is located or is otherwise exempt under applicable law from such licensing or qualification or is otherwise not required under applicable law to effect such licensing or qualification and no demand for such licensing or qualification has been made upon SPS by any such state, and in any event SPS is in compliance with the laws of any such state, to the extent such laws are applicable to SPS, to the extent necessary to ensure the servicing of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. No licenses or approvals obtained by SPS have been suspended or revoked by any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body and no proceedings are pending which could reasonably be expected to result in such suspension or revocation;

 

(ii)         SPS has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, has duly executed and delivered this Agreement, and this Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of SPS, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization;

 

(iii)        The execution and delivery of this Agreement by SPS and the performance of and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not violate SPS’s formation documents or constitute a default under or result in a breach or acceleration of, any material contract, agreement or other instrument to which SPS is a party or which may be applicable to SPS or its assets;

 

(iv)        SPS is not in violation of, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement by SPS and its performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a violation with respect to, any order or decree of any court or any order or regulation of any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency having jurisdiction over SPS or its assets, which violation might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or the operation of SPS or its assets or could reasonably be expected to have consequences that would materially and adversely affect the performance of its obligations and duties hereunder;

 

(v)         SPS is an approved Servicer for Freddie Mac in good standing. No event has occurred, including but not limited to a change in insurance coverage, which would make SPS unable to comply with Freddie Mac requirements or which would require notification to Freddie Mac for which notice has not been provided;

(vi)        There are no actions or proceedings against, or investigations of, SPS before any court, administrative or other tribunal (A) that could reasonably be expected to prohibit its entering into this Agreement, (B) seeking to prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (C) that could reasonably be expected to prohibit or materially and adversely affect the performance by SPS of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement; and

 

(vii)       No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by SPS of, or compliance by SPS with, this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for such consents, approvals, authorizations or orders, if any, that have been obtained prior to the date of this Agreement.

Within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by SPS, or notice to SPS, of any breach of a representation or warranty which materially and adversely affects the ability of SPS to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement or otherwise materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Properties (in each case as determined by SPS), SPS shall use its best efforts promptly to cure such breach in all material respects.

 

Section 10.30          Indemnification by SPS.

 

SPS shall indemnify the Custodian, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator and in each case any officer, director, employee or agent of such party or any successor in interest to such party under this Agreement (for purposes of this paragraph, collectively, the “Indemnitees” and individually, an “Indemnitee”) and hold harmless any such Indemnitee against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) (“Losses”) that any Indemnitee may sustain in any way related to (a) the failure of SPS to perform its obligations under this Agreement, including but not limited to its obligation to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement or (b) a breach of SPS’s representations or warranties contained in Section 10.28; provided, however, that SPS shall not indemnify any Indemnitee to the extent that any such Losses resulted from the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any such Indemnitee.

Section 10.31          Merger or Consolidation of SPS.

 

SPS shall keep in full force and effect its existence and rights as a corporation and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in any state in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Mortgage Loans, and to enable SPS to perform its duties under this Agreement.

 

Any Person into which SPS may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which SPS shall be a party, or a sale of substantially all of the assets of SPS or any Person succeeding to the business of SPS, shall be the successor of SPS hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person shall (i) be an institution whose business is the servicing of mortgage loans, (ii) be a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac approved servicer and (iii) have a net worth of at least $15,000,000.

SPS, and any director, officer, employee or agent of SPS shall be entitled to indemnification from the assets of the Trust Fund and will be held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the performance of its duties and obligations, including following any direction, approval or consent or deemed direction, approval or consent, received by SPS pursuant to Section 2.08, and any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, but excluding any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder. SPS and any officer, employee or agent of SPS may rely in good faith on any document or direction of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. SPS shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duty to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its opinion may result in its incurring any expenses or liability; provided, however, that SPS may undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities for which the Issuer shall be liable, SPS shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 10.06 except when such expenses, costs and liabilities are subject to SPS’s indemnification under Section 10.30.

 

- 141 -
 

 

Section 10.33          Servicer Not to Resign.

 

SPS shall not assign this Agreement or resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual written consent of SPS, the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld, or upon the determination that its servicing duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by SPS in which event SPS may resign as servicer. Any such determination that its servicing duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law permitting the resignation of SPS as servicer shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate to such effect delivered to the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SPS has the right to assign this Agreement or resign as Servicer hereunder if (i) SPS has proposed a successor Servicer to the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency in writing and such proposed successor Servicer is reasonably acceptable to the Seller, the Trustee and the Depositor, (ii) each Rating Agency has confirmed that such assignment or resignation will not cause the withdrawal or downgrade of any rating on the Certificates (if Outstanding and rated by such Rating Agency) and (iii) such successor Servicer meets the eligibility requirements of Section 9.01 of this Agreement to act as Servicer hereunder and agrees to service in accordance with this Agreement. Any reasonable costs and expenses of the Trustee, the Seller and the Master Servicer incurred in connection with such assignment or resignation and transfer of servicing shall be paid by SPS or if SPS fails to pay such costs and expenses within sixty (60) days of written request therefor, the Trust Fund shall pay such costs and expenses. No assignment or resignation of SPS as set forth in this Section 10.33 shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed SPS’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 9.01.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the request of Five Oaks, upon at least ninety (90) days prior written notice, and with respect to all or a portion of the Mortgage Loans, SPS shall resign, such resignation to be come effective only upon the selection and appointment of a successor servicer (who shall meet the requirements of Section 9.01 hereof) by Five Oaks and the assumption by such successor servicer of the servicing responsibilities of SPS hereunder. On the related servicing transfer date, the successor servicer shall pay SPS all unpaid and accrued Servicing Fees, reimburse SPS for any unreimbursed Advances and Servicing Advances and reimburse SPS for its servicing transfer costs.

 

Section 10.34          Termination for Cause.

 

In case one or more of the following events of default by SPS (each, an “SPS Event of Default”) shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:

 

(i)          any failure by SPS to remit to the Securities Administrator any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement (other than an Advance) which continues unremedied for a period of one (1) Business Day after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been received by SPS from the Securities Administrator; or

 

(ii)         any failure on the part of SPS duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of SPS set forth in this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been received by SPS from the Master Servicer; or

 

(iii)        a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against SPS and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days; or

 

- 142 -
 

 

(iv)        SPS shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to SPS or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

 

(v)         SPS shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or

 

(vi)        Any failure of SPS Servicer to make any Advances when such Advances are due, which failure continues unremedied for a period of one (1) Business Day;

 

then, so long as a SPS Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (v) of this Section shall occur and shall not have been remedied within the applicable grace period, if any, or waived pursuant to Section 6.16 hereof, the Master Servicer or Five Oaks, by notice in writing to SPS may, and, if so directed in writing by Certificateholders evidencing either (i) more than 50% of the Class Principal Amount (or Class Notional Amount) of each Class of Certificates, or (ii) 50% of the aggregate Class Principal Amount of the Subordinate Certificates, or upon the occurrence of an SPS Event of Default described in clause (vi) of this Section, shall, by notice then given in writing to SPS, terminate all of the rights and obligations of SPS as servicer under this Agreement.

 

Immediately upon receipt by SPS of such written notice, all authority and power of SPS to service the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement shall be terminated, and such authority and power shall pass to and be vested in the Master Servicer or in a successor Servicer pursuant to Section 9.01 appointed by the Master Servicer (with the consent of Five Oaks, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) or by Five Oaks, as the case may be, provided, that in the event Five Oaks does not respond within seven (7) Business Days to any such request for consent by the Master Servicer, such requirement of consent shall be deemed to be waived; provided, however, SPS shall discharge its duties and responsibilities under this Agreement during the period from the date it receives such written notice of termination until the date servicing is transferred to a successor Servicer with the same degree of diligence and prudence that it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that could reasonably be expected to impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the successor Servicer. Upon written request from the Master Servicer or Five Oaks, SPS shall prepare, execute and deliver to the Master Servicer or other successor Servicer, any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor’s possession all Servicing Files, and do or cause to be done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, at SPS’s sole expense. SPS shall cooperate with the Trustee, the Master Servicer, Five Oaks and such successor Servicer in effecting the transfer of SPS’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by SPS to the Collection Account and Escrow Account with respect to the Trust Fund or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. SPS shall, after its termination, retain the right to be paid Servicing Fees and be reimbursed for any unreimbursed Advances and/or Servicing Advances earned or made until the date of transfer of servicing to a successor Servicer; provided, however that (i) such fees and advances shall be paid or reimbursed solely from those sources of funds described in this Agreement as being eligible funds for the payment or reimbursement of such amounts, (ii) such fees and advances shall be paid or reimbursed solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (iii) the successor Servicer shall cause such amounts to be paid or reimbursed to SPS on a first-in, first-out basis consistent with this Agreement.

Section 10.35        Advances.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loans, SPS shall deposit in the Collection Account as Advances, an amount equal to all Scheduled Payments (with interest at the Mortgage Rate less the related Servicing Fee Rate) which were due on such Mortgage Loans serviced by it during the applicable Collection Period and which were delinquent at the close of business on the immediately preceding Determination Date. SPS’s obligation to make such Advances will continue through the last Scheduled Payment due prior to the payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, or through the date that the related Mortgaged Property has, in the judgment of SPS, been completely liquidated. SPS shall not be required to advance shortfalls of principal or interest resulting from the application of the Civil Relief Act.

 

To the extent required by Accepted Servicing Practices, SPS shall be obligated to make Advances in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that such obligation shall cease if SPS determines, in its reasonable opinion, that Advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan are Nonrecoverable Advances. In the event that SPS determines that any such Advances are Nonrecoverable Advances, SPS shall provide the Master Servicer with an Officer’s Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer evidencing such determination. Upon the Master Servicer’s receipt of such certificate, the Master Servicer shall send a copy of such certificate to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee.

 

If an Advance is required to be made hereunder by SPS, SPS shall on the Servicer Remittance Date either (i) deposit in the Collection Account from its own funds an amount equal to such Advance, (ii) cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the Collection Account that funds in such account being held for future distribution or withdrawal have been used by SPS to make such Advance or (iii) make Advances in the form of any combination of clauses (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any such funds being held in the Collection Account for future distribution and so used shall be replaced by SPS from its own funds by deposit in the Collection Account, or from other funds in the Collection Account being held for future distributions, on or before any future Distribution Date in which such funds would be due.

 

Article XI

REMIC AND GRANTOR ADMINISTRATION

 

Section 11.01        REMIC Administration .

 

(a)          REMIC elections as set forth in the Preliminary Statement to this Agreement shall be made by the Trustee at the direction of the Securities Administrator on Forms 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. The regular interests and residual interest in each REMIC shall be as designated in the Preliminary Statement to this Agreement.

 

(b)          The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of each REMIC within the meaning of section 86OG(a)(9) of the Code. The “latest possible maturity date” for each REMIC for purposes of Treasury Regulation 1.86OG-1(a)(4) will be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

 

- 144 -
 

 

(c)          The Securities Administrator shall represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. The Securities Administrator shall pay any and all tax-related expenses (not including taxes) of each REMIC, including but not limited to any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to such REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities, but only to the extent that (i) such expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including expenses of a routine audit but not expenses of litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii) such expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties) are attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Securities Administrator in fulfilling its duties hereunder (including its duties as tax return preparer). The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement of expenses to the extent provided in clause (i) above from the Distribution Account; provided, however, the Securities Administrator shall not be entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of tax returns and other reports required under Section 6.20 and this Section.

 

(d)          The Securities Administrator shall prepare and file, and the Trustee shall sign, all of each REMIC’s federal and appropriate state tax and information returns as such REMIC’s direct representative. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Securities Administrator. In preparing such returns, the Securities Administrator shall, with respect to each REMIC created hereunder other than REMIC 3 (each such REMIC, a “Lower-Tier REMIC”): (i) treat the accrual period for interests in such Lower-Tier REMIC as the calendar month; (ii) account for distributions made from such Lower-Tier REMIC as made on the first day of each succeeding calendar month; (iii) use the aggregation method provided in Treasury Regulation section 1.1275-2(c); and (iv) account for income and expenses related to such Lower-Tier REMIC in the manner resulting in the lowest amount of excess inclusion income possible accruing to the Holder of the residual interest in such Lower-Tier REMIC.

 

(e)          The Securities Administrator or its designee shall perform on behalf of each REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, if required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other such guidance, the Securities Administrator shall provide (i) to the Treasury or other governmental authority such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any disqualified person or organization pursuant to Treasury Regulation 1.860E-2(a)(5) and any person designated in Section 860E(e)(3) of the Code and (ii) to the Trustee such information as is necessary for the Trustee to provide to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions.

 

(f)          The Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Holders of Certificates shall, to the extent within their knowledge and control, take such actions as may be necessary to maintain the status of each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to maintain such status. None of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall knowingly take any action, cause any REMIC to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could result in an Adverse REMIC Event unless the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or not to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action (or inaction, as the case may be) will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC or the assets therein, or causing any REMIC to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of a Residual Certificate will consult with the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or their respective designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC, and no such Person shall take any such action or cause any REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur; provided, however, that if no Adverse REMIC Event would occur but such action could result in the imposition of additional taxes on the Residual Certificateholders, no such Person shall take any such action, or cause any REMIC to take any such action without the written consent of the other Residual Certificateholders. The Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer may consult with counsel (and conclusively rely upon the advice of such counsel) to make such written advice, and the cost of the same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not expressly permitted by this Agreement, but in no event shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee, Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer.

 

- 145 -
 

 

(g)          Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed on the related REMIC by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent that such taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the Securities Administrator or the Paying Agent shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in any such REMIC or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to holders of regular interests in any such REMIC, as the case may be.

 

(h)          The Securities Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

 

(i)          No additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

 

(j)          None of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator nor the Master Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services.

 

(k)          The Holder (or, if there is more than one such Holder, the Holder with the largest Percentage Interest) of the Class R Certificate is hereby designated as Tax Matters Person with respect to each REMIC and such Holder shall be deemed by the acceptance of its Certificate to have appointed the Securities Administrator to act as its agent to perform the duties of the Tax Matters Person for each such REMIC.

 

Section 11.02          Prohibited Transactions and Activities .

 

None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall sell, dispose of, or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans, except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust Fund, (iii) the termination of each REMIC pursuant to Article VII of this Agreement or (iv) a repurchase or substitution of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of this Agreement, nor acquire any assets for any REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any REMIC after the Closing Date, nor permit modifications other than Servicing Modifications, unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party causing such sale, disposition, or substitution) that such disposition, acquisition, substitution, or acceptance will not (a) result in an Adverse REMIC Event, (b) adversely affect the distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates or (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to the Trust Fund (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement).

 

- 146 -
 

 

Section 11.03        Indemnification With Respect to Prohibited Transactions or Loss of REMIC Status .

 

Upon the occurrence of an Adverse REMIC Event due to the negligent performance by either the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall indemnify the Certificateholders of the related Residual Certificate against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (“Losses”) resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that neither the Securities Administrator nor the Master Servicer shall be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Holder of the Residual Certificate, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by any of the foregoing parties on which the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer, as applicable, has relied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement or under any Servicing Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of malfeasance, willful misconduct or negligent performance by the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer, as applicable, of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders of the related Residual Certificate (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates).

 

Section 11.04        REO Property .

 

(a)          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall not, except to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, knowingly permit any Servicer to rent, lease, or otherwise earn income on behalf of any REMIC with respect to any REO Property which might cause an Adverse REMIC Event unless the applicable Servicer has provided to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel concluding that, under the REMIC Provisions, such action would not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

 

(b)          The Depositor shall cause the applicable Servicer (to the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement) to make reasonable efforts to sell any REO Property for its fair market value. In any event, however, the Depositor shall, or shall cause the applicable Servicer (to the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement) to, dispose of any REO Property within three years of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the Depositor or the applicable Servicer (on behalf of the Trust Fund) has received an extension from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions and any relevant proposed legislation and under applicable state law, the REMIC may hold REO Property for a longer period without causing an Adverse REMIC Event. If such an extension has been received, then the Depositor, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall, or shall cause the applicable Servicer to, continue to attempt to sell the REO Property for its fair market value for such period longer than three years as such extension permits (the “Extended Period”). If such an extension has not been received and the Depositor or the applicable Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust Fund hereunder, is unable to sell the REO Property within 33 months after its acquisition by the Trust Fund, or if such an extension has been received and the Depositor or the applicable Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending three months before the close of the Extended Period, the Depositor shall cause the applicable Servicer, before the end of the three year period or the Extended Period, as applicable, to (i) purchase (except in the case of Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing) such REO Property at a price equal to the REO Property’s fair market value or (ii) auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be the applicable Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price prior to the expiration of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as the case may be.

 

- 147 -
 

 

Section 11.05        Grantor Trust Administration.

 

(a)          There is hereby established a separate trust (the “Grantor Trust”), which shall be a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes. The Grantor Trust shall be maintained by the Trustee in its name, for the benefit of the Holders of the Grantor Trust Certificates. The assets of the Grantor Trust shall consist of the Grantor Trust Assets, which have been placed in the Grantor Trust. The Grantor Trust Assets in the Grantor Trust shall be held by the Trustee. The Initial Exchangeable Certificates and the Exchangeable Certificates represent undivided beneficial ownership of REMIC Regular Interest Combinations depending on which Class of Initial Exchangeable Certificates or Exchangeable Certificates is outstanding.

 

(b)          The Securities Administrator shall treat the Grantor Trust for tax return preparation purposes as a grantor trust under the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state law and will file appropriate federal or state tax returns for each taxable year ending on or after the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. The Non-Exchangeable Certificates, and the Initial Exchangeable Certificates and the Exchangeable Certificates that are outstanding are hereby designated as representing beneficial ownership interests in the Grantor Trust.

 

(c)          The Securities Administrator shall pay out of its own funds any and all routine tax administration expenses of the Issuer incurred with respect to the Grantor Trust (but not including any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to the Issuer that involve the IRS or state tax authorities which extraordinary expenses shall be payable or reimbursable to the Securities Administrator from the Grantor Trust Assets) unless otherwise provided in Section 11.05(k).

 

(d)          The Securities Administrator shall prepare and upon execution by the Trustee, shall file all of the tax returns in respect of the Grantor Trust. The Trustee shall execute all of the tax returns in respect of the Grantor Trust. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Securities Administrator without any right of reimbursement therefor.

 

(e)          The Grantor Trust is a WHFIT that is a WHMT. The Securities Administrator shall report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Securities Administrator to do so is provided to the Securities Administrator on a timely basis. The “middlemen” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations shall be Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC. The Securities Administrator shall not be liable for any tax reporting penalties that may arise under the WHFIT Regulations as a result of the Issuer incorrectly determining the status of the Grantor Trust as a WHFIT or failing to identify whether or not the Grantor Trust is a WHFIT.

 

(f)          The Securities Administrator, in its discretion, shall report required WHFIT information using either the cash or accrual method, except to the extent the WHFIT Regulations specifically require a different method. The Securities Administrator shall be under no obligation to determine whether any Certificateholder uses the cash or accrual method. The Securities Administrator shall make available WHFIT information to Certificateholders annually. In addition, the Securities Administrator shall not be responsible or liable for providing subsequently amended, revised or updated information to any Certificateholder, unless requested by the Certificateholder.

 

(g)          The Securities Administrator shall not be liable for failure to meet the reporting requirements of the WHFIT Regulations or for any penalties thereunder if such failure is due to: (i) the lack of reasonably necessary information being provided to the Securities Administrator or (ii) incomplete, inaccurate or untimely information being provided to the Securities Administrator. Each owner of a Class of Certificates representing, in whole or in part, beneficial ownership of an interest in a WHFIT, by acceptance of its interest in such Class of Certificates, shall be deemed to have agreed to provide the Securities Administrator with information regarding any sale of such Certificates, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale. Absent receipt of such information, and unless informed otherwise by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator will assume there is no secondary market trading of WHFIT interests.

 

- 148 -
 

 

(h)          To the extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Securities Administrator shall use reasonable efforts to publish on an appropriate website the CUSIPs for the Certificates that represent ownership of an interest in a WHFIT.

 

(i)          The Securities Administrator shall perform on behalf of the Grantor Trust all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are required in respect thereof under the Code, the Grantor Trust Provisions or other compliance guidance issued by the IRS or any state or local taxing authority.

 

(j)          The Securities Administrator shall perform its duties hereunder so as to maintain the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust under the Grantor Trust Provisions. The Securities Administrator shall not knowingly take (or cause any Grantor Trust to take) any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the Grantor Trust Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could result in an Adverse Grantor Trust Event, unless the Securities Administrator has obtained or received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such action or at the expense of the Grantor Trust if the Securities Administrator seeks to take such action or to refrain from taking any action for the benefit of the Grantor Trust Certificateholders) to the effect that the contemplated action will not result in an Adverse Grantor Trust Event. None of the other parties hereto shall take any action or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Securities Administrator has advised it in writing that the Securities Administrator has received or obtained an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse Grantor Trust Event could result from such action or failure to act. The Securities Administrator may consult with counsel to make such written advice at the expense of the party requesting such action or at the expense of the Grantor Trust if the Securities Administrator seeks to take such action or to refrain from taking any action for the benefit of the Grantor Trust Certificateholders.

 

(k)          If any tax is imposed on any Grantor Trust, such tax, together with all incidental costs and expenses (including penalties and reasonable attorneys’ fees), shall be charged to and paid by: (i) the Securities Administrator to the extent such amounts are attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Securities Administrator in fulfilling its duties hereunder (including its duties as tax return preparer) or (ii) the Grantor Trust Assets in all other instances.

MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

 

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of certificates designated as CSMC Trust 2014-OAK1 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (the “Certificates”), representing all or part of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund established pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2014 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp. as depositor (the “Depositor”), Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc. as a servicer (“SPS”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator”) and Christiana Trust, a division of Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee (the “Trustee”), to which terms, provisions and conditions thereof the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents, and by which such Holder is bound. Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent, on behalf of the Trustee, will make distributions from the Distribution Account to the Holders of Certificates according to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All distributions or allocations made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated among the outstanding Certificates of such Class based on the Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest of each such Certificate.

 

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by check mailed to the Holder of record of this Certificate on the immediately preceding Record Date at the address of such Holder as its appears on the Certificate Register or, upon written request made to the Securities Administrator at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by any Certificateholder owning an aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of at least $1,000,000 or, in the case of any Residual Certificate, a Percentage Interest of 100%, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified in such request and at the expense of such Certificateholder requesting such wire transfer by deducting a wire transfer fee from the related distribution; provided, however, that the final distribution in respect of any Certificate shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office (as defined below); provided, further, that the foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Certificate as long as such Certificate remains a Book-Entry Certificate, in which case all payments made shall be made through the Clearing Agency and its Clearing Agency Participants. Notwithstanding such final payment of principal of any of the Certificates, each Residual Certificate will remain outstanding until the termination of the related REMIC or REMICs and the payment in full of all other amounts due with respect to the Residual Certificates and at such time such final payment in retirement of any Residual Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office.

 

 
 

 

The Corporate Trust Office with respect to the presentment and surrender of Certificates for the final distribution thereon is the corporate trust office of the Certificate Registrar at Sixth Street and Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55479, Attention: Corporate Trust Services — CSMC Trust 2014-OAK1 or at such other address as the Securities Administrator may designate from time to time.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended by the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, SPS and the Depositor with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made unless the Trustee and the Securities Administrator receive an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the change, that such change will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event; and provided further, that no such amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of 100% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby.  For purposes of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or “Holders” shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the related Certificate Owners. Any consent by the Holder of this Certificate will be conclusive and binding upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not consent is made with respect to such Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain limited circumstances without the consent of the Holders.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations evidencing the same initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class evidencing the same aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates.

 

 
 

 

The Certificates are issued in the denominations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates shall remain outstanding until the final Distribution Date for the Certificates.

 

On any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 10% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates. If the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding does not exercise such option, on any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 3% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates.

 

In no event will the trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of a certain person named in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws principles applied in the State of New York. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be controlling.

 

 
 

 

In addition, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates of this Class are exchangeable for Certificates of certain other Classes in accordance with Section 3.11 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. A fee is payable to the Securities Administrator in connection with any such exchanges.

CSMC TRUST 2014-OAK1

MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

 

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of certificates designated as CSMC Trust 2014-OAK1 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (the “Certificates”), representing all or part of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund established pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2014 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp. as depositor (the “Depositor”), Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc. as a servicer (“SPS”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator”) and Christiana Trust, a division of Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee (the “Trustee”), to which terms, provisions and conditions thereof the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents, and by which such Holder is bound. Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent, on behalf of the Trustee, will make distributions from the Distribution Account to the Holders of Certificates according to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All distributions or allocations made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated among the outstanding Certificates of such Class based on the Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest of each such Certificate.

 

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by check mailed to the Holder of record of this Certificate on the immediately preceding Record Date at the address of such Holder as its appears on the Certificate Register or, upon written request made to the Securities Administrator at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by any Certificateholder owning an aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of at least $1,000,000 or, in the case of any Residual Certificate, a Percentage Interest of 100%, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified in such request and at the expense of such Certificateholder requesting such wire transfer by deducting a wire transfer fee from the related distribution; provided, however, that the final distribution in respect of any Certificate shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office (as defined below); provided, further, that the foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Certificate as long as such Certificate remains a Book-Entry Certificate, in which case all payments made shall be made through the Clearing Agency and its Clearing Agency Participants. Notwithstanding such final payment of principal of any of the Certificates, each Residual Certificate will remain outstanding until the termination of the related REMIC or REMICs and the payment in full of all other amounts due with respect to the Residual Certificates and at such time such final payment in retirement of any Residual Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office.

 

 
 

 

The Corporate Trust Office with respect to the presentment and surrender of Certificates for the final distribution thereon is the corporate trust office of the Certificate Registrar at Sixth Street and Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55479, Attention: Corporate Trust Services -- CSMC Trust 2014-OAK1 or at such other address as the Securities Administrator may designate from time to time.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended by the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, SPS and the Depositor with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made unless the Trustee and the Securities Administrator receive an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the change, that such change will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event; and provided further, that no such amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of 100% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby.  For purposes of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or “Holders” shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the related Certificate Owners. Any consent by the Holder of this Certificate will be conclusive and binding upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not consent is made with respect to such Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain limited circumstances without the consent of the Holders.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations evidencing the same initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class evidencing the same aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates.

 

 
 

 

The Certificates are issued in the denominations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates shall remain outstanding until the final Distribution Date for the Certificates.

 

On any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 10% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates. If the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding does not exercise such option, on any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 3% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates.

 

In no event will the trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of a certain person named in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws principles applied in the State of New York. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be controlling.

 

 
 

 

In addition, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates of this Class are exchangeable for Certificates of certain other Classes in accordance with Section 3.11 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. A fee is payable to the Securities Administrator in connection with any such exchanges.

CSMC TRUST 2014-OAK1

MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

 

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of certificates designated as CSMC Trust 2014-OAK1 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (the “Certificates”), representing all or part of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund established pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2014 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp. as depositor (the “Depositor”), Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc. as a servicer (“SPS”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator”) and Christiana Trust, a division of Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee (the “Trustee”), to which terms, provisions and conditions thereof the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents, and by which such Holder is bound. Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent, on behalf of the Trustee, will make distributions from the Distribution Account to the Holders of Certificates according to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All distributions or allocations made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated among the outstanding Certificates of such Class based on the Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest of each such Certificate.

 

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by check mailed to the Holder of record of this Certificate on the immediately preceding Record Date at the address of such Holder as its appears on the Certificate Register or, upon written request made to the Securities Administrator at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by any Certificateholder owning an aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of at least $1,000,000 or, in the case of any Residual Certificate, a Percentage Interest of 100%, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified in such request and at the expense of such Certificateholder requesting such wire transfer by deducting a wire transfer fee from the related distribution; provided, however, that the final distribution in respect of any Certificate shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office (as defined below); provided, further, that the foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Certificate as long as such Certificate remains a Book-Entry Certificate, in which case all payments made shall be made through the Clearing Agency and its Clearing Agency Participants. Notwithstanding such final payment of principal of any of the Certificates, each Residual Certificate will remain outstanding until the termination of the related REMIC or REMICs and the payment in full of all other amounts due with respect to the Residual Certificates and at such time such final payment in retirement of any Residual Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office.

 

 
 

 

The Corporate Trust Office with respect to the presentment and surrender of Certificates for the final distribution thereon is the corporate trust office of the Certificate Registrar at Sixth Street and Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55479, Attention: Corporate Trust Services — CSMC Trust 2014-OAK1 or at such other address as the Securities Administrator may designate from time to time.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended by the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, SPS and the Depositor with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made unless the Trustee and the Securities Administrator receive an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the change, that such change will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event; and provided further, that no such amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of 100% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby.  For purposes of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or “Holders” shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the related Certificate Owners. Any consent by the Holder of this Certificate will be conclusive and binding upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not consent is made with respect to such Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain limited circumstances without the consent of the Holders.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations evidencing the same initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class evidencing the same aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates.

 

 
 

 

The Certificates are issued in the denominations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates shall remain outstanding until the final Distribution Date for the Certificates.

 

On any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 10% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates. If the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding does not exercise such option, on any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 3% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates.

 

In no event will the trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of a certain person named in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws principles applied in the State of New York. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be controlling.

 

 
 

 

In addition, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates of this Class are exchangeable for Certificates of certain other Classes in accordance with Section 3.11 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. A fee is payable to the Securities Administrator in connection with any such exchanges.

CSMC TRUST 2014-OAK1

MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

 

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of certificates designated as CSMC Trust 2014-OAK1 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (the “Certificates”), representing all or part of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund established pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2014 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp. as depositor (the “Depositor”), Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc. as a servicer (“SPS”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator”) and Christiana Trust, a division of Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee (the “Trustee”), to which terms, provisions and conditions thereof the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents, and by which such Holder is bound. Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent, on behalf of the Trustee, will make distributions from the Distribution Account to the Holders of Certificates according to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All distributions or allocations made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated among the outstanding Certificates of such Class based on the Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest of each such Certificate.

 

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by check mailed to the Holder of record of this Certificate on the immediately preceding Record Date at the address of such Holder as its appears on the Certificate Register or, upon written request made to the Securities Administrator at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by any Certificateholder owning an aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of at least $1,000,000 or, in the case of any Residual Certificate, a Percentage Interest of 100%, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified in such request and at the expense of such Certificateholder requesting such wire transfer by deducting a wire transfer fee from the related distribution; provided, however, that the final distribution in respect of any Certificate shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office (as defined below); provided, further, that the foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Certificate as long as such Certificate remains a Book-Entry Certificate, in which case all payments made shall be made through the Clearing Agency and its Clearing Agency Participants. Notwithstanding such final payment of principal of any of the Certificates, each Residual Certificate will remain outstanding until the termination of the related REMIC or REMICs and the payment in full of all other amounts due with respect to the Residual Certificates and at such time such final payment in retirement of any Residual Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office.

 

 
 

 

The Corporate Trust Office with respect to the presentment and surrender of Certificates for the final distribution thereon is the corporate trust office of the Certificate Registrar at Sixth Street and Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55479, Attention: Corporate Trust Services — CSMC Trust 2014-OAK1 or at such other address as the Securities Administrator may designate from time to time.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended by the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, SPS and the Depositor with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made unless the Trustee and the Securities Administrator receive an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the change, that such change will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event; and provided further, that no such amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of 100% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby.  For purposes of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or “Holders” shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the related Certificate Owners. Any consent by the Holder of this Certificate will be conclusive and binding upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not consent is made with respect to such Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain limited circumstances without the consent of the Holders.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations evidencing the same initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class evidencing the same aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates.

 

 
 

 

The Certificates are issued in the denominations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates shall remain outstanding until the final Distribution Date for the Certificates.

 

On any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 10% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates. If the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding does not exercise such option, on any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 3% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates.

 

In no event will the trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of a certain person named in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws principles applied in the State of New York. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be controlling.

On any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 10% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates.

CSMC TRUST 2014-OAK1

MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

 

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of certificates designated as CSMC Trust 2014-OAK1 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (the “Certificates”), representing all or part of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund established pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2014 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp. as depositor (the “Depositor”), Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc. as a servicer (“SPS”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator”) and Christiana Trust, a division of Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee (the “Trustee”), to which terms, provisions and conditions thereof the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents, and by which such Holder is bound. Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent, on behalf of the Trustee, will make distributions from the Distribution Account to the Holders of Certificates according to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All distributions or allocations made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated among the outstanding Certificates of such Class based on the Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest of each such Certificate.

 

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by check mailed to the Holder of record of this Certificate on the immediately preceding Record Date at the address of such Holder as its appears on the Certificate Register or, upon written request made to the Securities Administrator at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by any Certificateholder owning an aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of at least $1,000,000 or, in the case of any Residual Certificate, a Percentage Interest of 100%, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified in such request and at the expense of such Certificateholder requesting such wire transfer by deducting a wire transfer fee from the related distribution; provided, however, that the final distribution in respect of any Certificate shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office (as defined below); provided, further, that the foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Certificate as long as such Certificate remains a Book-Entry Certificate, in which case all payments made shall be made through the Clearing Agency and its Clearing Agency Participants. Notwithstanding such final payment of principal of any of the Certificates, each Residual Certificate will remain outstanding until the termination of the related REMIC or REMICs and the payment in full of all other amounts due with respect to the Residual Certificates and at such time such final payment in retirement of any Residual Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office.

 

 
 

 

The Corporate Trust Office with respect to the presentment and surrender of Certificates for the final distribution thereon is the corporate trust office of the Certificate Registrar at Sixth Street and Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55479, Attention: Corporate Trust Services — CSMC Trust 2014-OAK1 or at such other address as the Securities Administrator may designate from time to time.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended by the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, SPS and the Depositor with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made unless the Trustee and the Securities Administrator receive an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the change, that such change will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event; and provided further, that no such amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of 100% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby.  For purposes of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or “Holders” shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the related Certificate Owners. Any consent by the Holder of this Certificate will be conclusive and binding upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not consent is made with respect to such Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain limited circumstances without the consent of the Holders.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations evidencing the same initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class evidencing the same aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates.

 

 
 

 

The Certificates are issued in the denominations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates shall remain outstanding until the final Distribution Date for the Certificates.

 

On any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 10% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates. If the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding does not exercise such option, on any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 3% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates.

 

In no event will the trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of a certain person named in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws principles applied in the State of New York. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be controlling.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations evidencing the same initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class evidencing the same aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

The Certificates are issued in the denominations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates shall remain outstanding until the final Distribution Date for the Certificates.

 

On any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 10% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates. If the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding does not exercise such option, on any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 3% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates.

Notwithstanding such final payment of principal of any of the Certificates, each Residual Certificate will remain outstanding until the termination of the related REMIC or REMICs and the payment in full of all other amounts due with respect to the Residual Certificates and at such time such final payment in retirement of any Residual Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office.

Any consent by the Holder of this Certificate will be conclusive and binding upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not consent is made with respect to such Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain limited circumstances without the consent of the Holders.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations evidencing the same initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Certificates are issued in the denominations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates shall remain outstanding until the final Distribution Date for the Certificates.

 

On any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 10% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates.

CSMC TRUST 2014-OAK1

MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

 

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of certificates designated as CSMC Trust 2014-OAK1 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (the “Certificates”), representing all or part of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund established pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2014 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp. as depositor (the “Depositor”), Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc. as a servicer (“SPS”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator”) and Christiana Trust, a division of Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee (the “Trustee”), to which terms, provisions and conditions thereof the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents, and by which such Holder is bound. Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent, on behalf of the Trustee, will make distributions from the Distribution Account to the Holders of Certificates according to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All distributions or allocations made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated among the outstanding Certificates of such Class based on the Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest of each such Certificate.

 

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by check mailed to the Holder of record of this Certificate on the immediately preceding Record Date at the address of such Holder as its appears on the Certificate Register or, upon written request made to the Securities Administrator at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by any Certificateholder owning an aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of at least $1,000,000 or, in the case of any Residual Certificate, a Percentage Interest of 100%, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified in such request and at the expense of such Certificateholder requesting such wire transfer by deducting a wire transfer fee from the related distribution; provided, however, that the final distribution in respect of any Certificate shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office (as defined below); provided, further, that the foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Certificate as long as such Certificate remains a Book-Entry Certificate, in which case all payments made shall be made through the Clearing Agency and its Clearing Agency Participants. Notwithstanding such final payment of principal of any of the Certificates, each Residual Certificate will remain outstanding until the termination of the related REMIC or REMICs and the payment in full of all other amounts due with respect to the Residual Certificates and at such time such final payment in retirement of any Residual Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office.

 

 
 

 

The Corporate Trust Office with respect to the presentment and surrender of Certificates for the final distribution thereon is the corporate trust office of the Certificate Registrar at Sixth Street and Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55479, Attention: Corporate Trust Services — CSMC Trust 2014-OAK1 or at such other address as the Securities Administrator may designate from time to time.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended by the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, SPS and the Depositor with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made unless the Trustee and the Securities Administrator receive an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the change, that such change will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event; and provided further, that no such amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of 100% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby.  For purposes of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or “Holders” shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the related Certificate Owners. Any consent by the Holder of this Certificate will be conclusive and binding upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not consent is made with respect to such Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain limited circumstances without the consent of the Holders.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations evidencing the same initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class evidencing the same aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates.

 

 
 

 

The Certificates are issued in the denominations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates shall remain outstanding until the final Distribution Date for the Certificates.

 

On any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 10% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates. If the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding does not exercise such option, on any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 3% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates.

 

In no event will the trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of a certain person named in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws principles applied in the State of New York. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be controlling.

CSMC TRUST 2014-OAK1

MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

 

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of certificates designated as CSMC Trust 2014-OAK1 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (the “Certificates”), representing all or part of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund established pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2014 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp. as depositor (the “Depositor”), Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc. as a servicer (“SPS”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator”) and Christiana Trust, a division of Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee (the “Trustee”), to which terms, provisions and conditions thereof the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents, and by which such Holder is bound. Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent, on behalf of the Trustee, will make distributions from the Distribution Account to the Holders of Certificates according to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All distributions or allocations made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated among the outstanding Certificates of such Class based on the Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest of each such Certificate.

 

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by check mailed to the Holder of record of this Certificate on the immediately preceding Record Date at the address of such Holder as its appears on the Certificate Register or, upon written request made to the Securities Administrator at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by any Certificateholder owning an aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of at least $1,000,000 or, in the case of any Residual Certificate, a Percentage Interest of 100%, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified in such request and at the expense of such Certificateholder requesting such wire transfer by deducting a wire transfer fee from the related distribution; provided, however, that the final distribution in respect of any Certificate shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office (as defined below); provided, further, that the foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Certificate as long as such Certificate remains a Book-Entry Certificate, in which case all payments made shall be made through the Clearing Agency and its Clearing Agency Participants. Notwithstanding such final payment of principal of any of the Certificates, each Residual Certificate will remain outstanding until the termination of the related REMIC or REMICs and the payment in full of all other amounts due with respect to the Residual Certificates and at such time such final payment in retirement of any Residual Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office.

 

 
 

 

The Corporate Trust Office with respect to the presentment and surrender of Certificates for the final distribution thereon is the corporate trust office of the Certificate Registrar at Sixth Street and Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55479, Attention: Corporate Trust Services — CSMC Trust 2014-OAK1 or at such other address as the Securities Administrator may designate from time to time.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended by the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, SPS and the Depositor with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made unless the Trustee and the Securities Administrator receive an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the change, that such change will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event; and provided further, that no such amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of 100% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby.  For purposes of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or “Holders” shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the related Certificate Owners. Any consent by the Holder of this Certificate will be conclusive and binding upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not consent is made with respect to such Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain limited circumstances without the consent of the Holders.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations evidencing the same initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class evidencing the same aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates.

 

 
 

 

The Certificates are issued in the denominations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates shall remain outstanding until the final Distribution Date for the Certificates.

 

On any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 10% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates. If the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding does not exercise such option, on any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 3% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates.

 

In no event will the trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of a certain person named in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws principles applied in the State of New York. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be controlling.

 

 
 

 

In addition, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates of this Class are exchangeable for Certificates of certain other Classes in accordance with Section 3.11 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. A fee is payable to the Securities Administrator in connection with any such exchanges.

Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent, on behalf of the Trustee, will make distributions from the Distribution Account to the Holders of Certificates according to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All distributions or allocations made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated among the outstanding Certificates of such Class based on the Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest of each such Certificate.

 

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by check mailed to the Holder of record of this Certificate on the immediately preceding Record Date at the address of such Holder as its appears on the Certificate Register or, upon written request made to the Securities Administrator at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by any Certificateholder owning an aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of at least $1,000,000 or, in the case of any Residual Certificate, a Percentage Interest of 100%, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified in such request and at the expense of such Certificateholder requesting such wire transfer by deducting a wire transfer fee from the related distribution; provided, however, that the final distribution in respect of any Certificate shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office (as defined below); provided, further, that the foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Certificate as long as such Certificate remains a Book-Entry Certificate, in which case all payments made shall be made through the Clearing Agency and its Clearing Agency Participants. Notwithstanding such final payment of principal of any of the Certificates, each Residual Certificate will remain outstanding until the termination of the related REMIC or REMICs and the payment in full of all other amounts due with respect to the Residual Certificates and at such time such final payment in retirement of any Residual Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office.

 

 
 

 

The Corporate Trust Office with respect to the presentment and surrender of Certificates for the final distribution thereon is the corporate trust office of the Certificate Registrar at Sixth Street and Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55479, Attention: Corporate Trust Services — CSMC Trust 2014-OAK1 or at such other address as the Securities Administrator may designate from time to time.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended by the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, SPS and the Depositor with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made unless the Trustee and the Securities Administrator receive an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the change, that such change will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event; and provided further, that no such amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of 100% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby.  For purposes of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or “Holders” shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the related Certificate Owners. Any consent by the Holder of this Certificate will be conclusive and binding upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not consent is made with respect to such Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain limited circumstances without the consent of the Holders.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations evidencing the same initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class evidencing the same aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates.

 

 
 

 

The Certificates are issued in the denominations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates shall remain outstanding until the final Distribution Date for the Certificates.

 

On any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 10% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates. If the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding does not exercise such option, on any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 3% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates.

 

In no event will the trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of a certain person named in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws principles applied in the State of New York. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be controlling.

 

 
 

 

In addition, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates of this Class are exchangeable for Certificates of certain other Classes in accordance with Section 3.11 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. A fee is payable to the Securities Administrator in connection with any such exchanges.

CSMC TRUST 2014-OAK1

MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

 

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of certificates designated as CSMC Trust 2014-OAK1 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (the “Certificates”), representing all or part of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund established pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2014 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp. as depositor (the “Depositor”), Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc. as a servicer (“SPS”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator”) and Christiana Trust, a division of Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee (the “Trustee”), to which terms, provisions and conditions thereof the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents, and by which such Holder is bound. Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent, on behalf of the Trustee, will make distributions from the Distribution Account to the Holders of Certificates according to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All distributions or allocations made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated among the outstanding Certificates of such Class based on the Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest of each such Certificate.

 

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by check mailed to the Holder of record of this Certificate on the immediately preceding Record Date at the address of such Holder as its appears on the Certificate Register or, upon written request made to the Securities Administrator at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by any Certificateholder owning an aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of at least $1,000,000 or, in the case of any Residual Certificate, a Percentage Interest of 100%, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified in such request and at the expense of such Certificateholder requesting such wire transfer by deducting a wire transfer fee from the related distribution; provided, however, that the final distribution in respect of any Certificate shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office (as defined below); provided, further, that the foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Certificate as long as such Certificate remains a Book-Entry Certificate, in which case all payments made shall be made through the Clearing Agency and its Clearing Agency Participants. Notwithstanding such final payment of principal of any of the Certificates, each Residual Certificate will remain outstanding until the termination of the related REMIC or REMICs and the payment in full of all other amounts due with respect to the Residual Certificates and at such time such final payment in retirement of any Residual Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office.

 

 
 

 

The Corporate Trust Office with respect to the presentment and surrender of Certificates for the final distribution thereon is the corporate trust office of the Certificate Registrar at Sixth Street and Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55479, Attention: Corporate Trust Services — CSMC Trust 2014-OAK1 or at such other address as the Securities Administrator may designate from time to time.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended by the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, SPS and the Depositor with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made unless the Trustee and the Securities Administrator receive an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the change, that such change will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event; and provided further, that no such amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of 100% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby.  For purposes of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or “Holders” shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the related Certificate Owners. Any consent by the Holder of this Certificate will be conclusive and binding upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not consent is made with respect to such Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain limited circumstances without the consent of the Holders.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations evidencing the same initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class evidencing the same aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates.

 

 
 

 

The Certificates are issued in the denominations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates shall remain outstanding until the final Distribution Date for the Certificates.

 

On any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 10% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates. If the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding does not exercise such option, on any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 3% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates.

 

In no event will the trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of a certain person named in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws principles applied in the State of New York. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be controlling.

Notwithstanding such final payment of principal of any of the Certificates, each Residual Certificate will remain outstanding until the termination of the related REMIC or REMICs and the payment in full of all other amounts due with respect to the Residual Certificates and at such time such final payment in retirement of any Residual Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain limited circumstances without the consent of the Holders.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations evidencing the same initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class evidencing the same aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates.

 

 
 

 

The Certificates are issued in the denominations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates shall remain outstanding until the final Distribution Date for the Certificates.

 

On any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 10% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates. If the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding does not exercise such option, on any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 3% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates.

 

In no event will the trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of a certain person named in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of certificates designated as CSMC Trust 2014-OAK1 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (the “Certificates”), representing all or part of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund established pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2014 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp. as depositor (the “Depositor”), Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc. as a servicer (“SPS”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator”) and Christiana Trust, a division of Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee (the “Trustee”), to which terms, provisions and conditions thereof the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents, and by which such Holder is bound. Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent, on behalf of the Trustee, will make distributions from the Distribution Account to the Holders of Certificates according to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All distributions or allocations made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated among the outstanding Certificates of such Class based on the Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest of each such Certificate.

 

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by check mailed to the Holder of record of this Certificate on the immediately preceding Record Date at the address of such Holder as its appears on the Certificate Register or, upon written request made to the Securities Administrator at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by any Certificateholder owning an aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of at least $1,000,000 or, in the case of any Residual Certificate, a Percentage Interest of 100%, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified in such request and at the expense of such Certificateholder requesting such wire transfer by deducting a wire transfer fee from the related distribution; provided, however, that the final distribution in respect of any Certificate shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office (as defined below); provided, further, that the foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Certificate as long as such Certificate remains a Book-Entry Certificate, in which case all payments made shall be made through the Clearing Agency and its Clearing Agency Participants. Notwithstanding such final payment of principal of any of the Certificates, each Residual Certificate will remain outstanding until the termination of the related REMIC or REMICs and the payment in full of all other amounts due with respect to the Residual Certificates and at such time such final payment in retirement of any Residual Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office.

 

 
 

  

The Corporate Trust Office with respect to the presentment and surrender of Certificates for the final distribution thereon is the corporate trust office of the Certificate Registrar at Sixth Street and Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55479, Attention: Corporate Trust Services — CSMC Trust 2014-OAK1 or at such other address as the Securities Administrator may designate from time to time.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended by the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, SPS and the Depositor with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made unless the Trustee and the Securities Administrator receive an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the change, that such change will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event; and provided further, that no such amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of 100% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby.  For purposes of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or “Holders” shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the related Certificate Owners. Any consent by the Holder of this Certificate will be conclusive and binding upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not consent is made with respect to such Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain limited circumstances without the consent of the Holders.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations evidencing the same initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class evidencing the same aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates.

 

 
 

  

The Certificates are issued in denominations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates shall remain outstanding until the final Distribution Date for the Certificates.

 

On any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 10% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates. If the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding does not exercise such option, on any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 3% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates.

 

In no event will the trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of a certain person named in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws principles applied in the State of New York. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be controlling.

MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

 

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of certificates designated as CSMC Trust 2014-OAK1 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (the “Certificates”), representing all or part of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund established pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2014 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp. as depositor (the “Depositor”), Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc. as a servicer (“SPS”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator”) and Christiana Trust, a division of Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee (the “Trustee”), to which terms, provisions and conditions thereof the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents, and by which such Holder is bound. Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent, on behalf of the Trustee, will make distributions from the Distribution Account to the Holders of Certificates according to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All distributions or allocations made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated among the outstanding Certificates of such Class based on the Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest of each such Certificate.

 

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by check mailed to the Holder of record of this Certificate on the immediately preceding Record Date at the address of such Holder as its appears on the Certificate Register or, upon written request made to the Securities Administrator at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by any Certificateholder owning an aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of at least $1,000,000 or, in the case of any Residual Certificate, a Percentage Interest of 100%, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified in such request and at the expense of such Certificateholder requesting such wire transfer by deducting a wire transfer fee from the related distribution; provided, however, that the final distribution in respect of any Certificate shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office (as defined below); provided, further, that the foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Certificate as long as such Certificate remains a Book-Entry Certificate, in which case all payments made shall be made through the Clearing Agency and its Clearing Agency Participants. Notwithstanding such final payment of principal of any of the Certificates, each Residual Certificate will remain outstanding until the termination of the related REMIC or REMICs and the payment in full of all other amounts due with respect to the Residual Certificates and at such time such final payment in retirement of any Residual Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office.

 

 
 

 

The Corporate Trust Office with respect to the presentment and surrender of Certificates for the final distribution thereon is the corporate trust office of the Certificate Registrar at Sixth Street and Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55479, Attention: Corporate Trust Services -- CSMC Trust 2014-OAK1 or at such other address as the Securities Administrator may designate from time to time.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended by the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, SPS and the Depositor with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made unless the Trustee and the Securities Administrator receive an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the change, that such change will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event; and provided further, that no such amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of 100% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby.  For purposes of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or “Holders” shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the related Certificate Owners. Any consent by the Holder of this Certificate will be conclusive and binding upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not consent is made with respect to such Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain limited circumstances without the consent of the Holders.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations evidencing the same initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class evidencing the same aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates.

 

 
 

 

The Certificates are issued in denominations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates shall remain outstanding until the final Distribution Date for the Certificates.

 

On any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 10% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates. If the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding does not exercise such option, on any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 3% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates.

 

In no event will the trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of a certain person named in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws principles applied in the State of New York. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be controlling.

Any consent by the Holder of this Certificate will be conclusive and binding upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not consent is made with respect to such Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain limited circumstances without the consent of the Holders.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations evidencing the same initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class evidencing the same aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates.

 

 
 

 

The Certificates are issued in denominations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates shall remain outstanding until the final Distribution Date for the Certificates.

 

On any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 10% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates.

In no event will the trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of a certain person named in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent, on behalf of the Trustee, will make distributions from the Distribution Account to the Holders of Certificates according to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All distributions or allocations made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated among the outstanding Certificates of such Class based on the Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest of each such Certificate.

 

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by check mailed to the Holder of record of this Certificate on the immediately preceding Record Date at the address of such Holder as its appears on the Certificate Register or, upon written request made to the Securities Administrator at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by any Certificateholder owning an aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of at least $1,000,000 or, in the case of any Residual Certificate, a Percentage Interest of 100%, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified in such request and at the expense of such Certificateholder requesting such wire transfer by deducting a wire transfer fee from the related distribution; provided, however, that the final distribution in respect of any Certificate shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office (as defined below); provided, further, that the foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Certificate as long as such Certificate remains a Book-Entry Certificate, in which case all payments made shall be made through the Clearing Agency and its Clearing Agency Participants. Notwithstanding such final payment of principal of any of the Certificates, each Residual Certificate will remain outstanding until the termination of the related REMIC or REMICs and the payment in full of all other amounts due with respect to the Residual Certificates and at such time such final payment in retirement of any Residual Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office.

 

 
 

 

The Corporate Trust Office with respect to the presentment and surrender of Certificates for the final distribution thereon is the corporate trust office of the Certificate Registrar at Sixth Street and Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55479, Attention: Corporate Trust Services -- CSMC Trust 2014-OAK1 or at such other address as the Securities Administrator may designate from time to time.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended by the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, SPS and the Depositor with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made unless the Trustee and the Securities Administrator receive an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the change, that such change will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event; and provided further, that no such amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of 100% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby.  For purposes of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or “Holders” shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the related Certificate Owners. Any consent by the Holder of this Certificate will be conclusive and binding upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not consent is made with respect to such Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain limited circumstances without the consent of the Holders.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations evidencing the same initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class evidencing the same aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates.

 

 
 

 

The Certificates are issued in denominations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates shall remain outstanding until the final Distribution Date for the Certificates.

 

On any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 10% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates. If the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding does not exercise such option, on any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 3% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates.

 

In no event will the trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of a certain person named in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws principles applied in the State of New York. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be controlling.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of certificates designated as CSMC Trust 2014-OAK1 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (the “Certificates”), representing all or part of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund established pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2014 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp. as depositor (the “Depositor”), Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc. as a servicer (“SPS”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator”) and Christiana Trust, a division of Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee (the “Trustee”), to which terms, provisions and conditions thereof the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents, and by which such Holder is bound. Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent, on behalf of the Trustee, will make distributions from the Distribution Account to the Holders of Certificates according to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All distributions or allocations made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated among the outstanding Certificates of such Class based on the Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest of each such Certificate.

 

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by check mailed to the Holder of record of this Certificate on the immediately preceding Record Date at the address of such Holder as its appears on the Certificate Register or, upon written request made to the Securities Administrator at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by any Certificateholder owning an aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount or Notional Amount of at least $1,000,000 or, in the case of any Residual Certificate, a Percentage Interest of 100%, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified in such request and at the expense of such Certificateholder requesting such wire transfer by deducting a wire transfer fee from the related distribution; provided, however, that the final distribution in respect of any Certificate shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office (as defined below); provided, further, that the foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Certificate as long as such Certificate remains a Book-Entry Certificate, in which case all payments made shall be made through the Clearing Agency and its Clearing Agency Participants. Notwithstanding such final payment of principal of any of the Certificates, each Residual Certificate will remain outstanding until the termination of the related REMIC or REMICs and the payment in full of all other amounts due with respect to the Residual Certificates and at such time such final payment in retirement of any Residual Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office.

 

 
 

  

The Corporate Trust Office with respect to the presentment and surrender of Certificates for the final distribution thereon is the corporate trust office of the Certificate Registrar at Sixth Street and Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55479, Attention: Corporate Trust Services — CSMC Trust 2014-OAK1 or at such other address as the Securities Administrator may designate from time to time.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended by the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, SPS and the Depositor with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made unless the Trustee and the Securities Administrator receive an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the change, that such change will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event; and provided further, that no such amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of 100% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby.  For purposes of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or “Holders” shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the related Certificate Owners. Any consent by the Holder of this Certificate will be conclusive and binding upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not consent is made with respect to such Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain limited circumstances without the consent of the Holders.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations evidencing the same initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class evidencing the same aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates.

 

 
 

  

The Certificates are issued in denominations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates shall remain outstanding until the final Distribution Date for the Certificates.

 

On any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 10% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates. If the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding does not exercise such option, on any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 3% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates.

 

In no event will the trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of a certain person named in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws principles applied in the State of New York. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be controlling.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended by the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, SPS and the Depositor with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made unless the Trustee and the Securities Administrator receive an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the change, that such change will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event; and provided further, that no such amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of 100% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby.  For purposes of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or “Holders” shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the related Certificate Owners. Any consent by the Holder of this Certificate will be conclusive and binding upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not consent is made with respect to such Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain limited circumstances without the consent of the Holders.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations evidencing the same initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) or Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class evidencing the same aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates.

 

 
 

  

The Certificates are issued in the denominations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates shall remain outstanding until the final Distribution Date for the Certificates.

 

On any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 10% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates. If the Holder or Holders of the majority of the Class Principal Amount of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding does not exercise such option, on any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance has declined to less than 3% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement of the Certificates.

 

In no event will the trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of a certain person named in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws principles applied in the State of New York. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be controlling.

Section 8. Release for Servicing .

 

From time to time and as appropriate for the foreclosure or servicing of any of the Mortgage Loans, the Custodian is hereby authorized, upon written receipt from the related Servicer of a request for release of documents and receipt in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit 3 , to release to such Servicer the related Custodial File or the documents set forth in such request and receipt to such Servicer.

Any additional Custodial Files or documents requested to be released by the related Servicer may be released only upon written authorization of the Depositor.

The fees of the Custodian together with the Custodian’s expenses in connection herewith shall be paid by the Master Servicer from the Master Servicing Fee (with the exception of conference room fees and extraordinary time charges, which shall be the obligation of the party requesting such services). The obligation to pay the Custodian such fees and reimburse the Custodian for such expenses in connection with services provided by the Custodian shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation and removal of the Custodian.

 

Section 12. Removal of Custodian .

 

The Trustee with cause, may upon at least 60 days’ notice remove and discharge the Custodian from the performance of its duties under this Custodial Agreement by written notice from the Trustee to the Custodian. Having given notice of such removal, the Trustee promptly shall appoint a successor Custodian (which may be the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee) hereunder to act on behalf of the Trustee by written instrument, one original counterpart of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee and an original to the successor Custodian (with a copy to each Servicer), provided that any such successor Custodian shall meet the criteria set forth in the following paragraph. In the event of any such removal, the Custodian shall promptly transfer to the successor Custodian, as directed, all Custodial Files being administered under this Custodial Agreement. In the event of any such appointments the Master Servicer shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of the existing and successor Custodian. If the Trustee removes the Custodian for cause, the Custodian shall be responsible for all expenses incurred in the transmission of the Custodial Files to the successor Custodian, the Custodian shall not charge any release fees that would otherwise be applicable and the Seller shall be responsible for any recertification fees of the successor Custodian. In the event that no successor Custodian is appointed within thirty (30) days after written notice of Custodian’s removal is received by the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, and the Servicers, the Custodian may petition, at the expense of the Trust, a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Custodian or deliver, at its own expense, the Custodial Files to the Trustee.

Any successor Custodian shall at all times be a corporation or association organized and doing business under the laws of a state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and with a credit rating which would not cause either of S&P or DBRS to reduce their respective then current ratings of the Certificates (or having provided such security from time to time as is sufficient to avoid such reduction) as evidenced in writing by each of S&P and DBRS. If such corporation or association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 12 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time a successor Custodian shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12, such successor Custodian shall resign immediately and be replaced as specified in the previous paragraph. The entity serving as successor Custodian may have normal banking and trust relationships with the Depositor and its affiliates or each Servicer and its affiliates; provided, however, that such entity cannot be an affiliate of the Seller, the Depositor or the Servicers.

The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policies shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by FNMA in the FNMA Servicing Guide or by FHLMC in the FHLMC Company’s & Servicers Guide.

 

Section 16. Counterparts .

 

For the purpose of facilitating the execution of this Custodial Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this Custodial Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute and be one and the same instrument.

 

Section 17. Periodic Statements .

Section 20. No Adverse Interest of Custodian .

 

By execution of this Custodial Agreement, the Custodian represents and warrants that it currently holds, and during the existence of this Custodial Agreement shall hold, no interest adverse to the Trustee, by way of security or otherwise, in any Mortgage Loan, and hereby waives and releases any such interest which it may have in any Mortgage Loan as of the date hereof.

 

Section 21. Termination by Custodian .

 

The Custodian may terminate its obligations under this Custodial Agreement upon at least 60 days’ prior written notice to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Servicers. In the event of such termination, the Trustee shall appoint a successor Custodian and shall notify the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Servicers of such appointment. The payment of such successor Custodian’s fees and expenses shall be solely the responsibility of the Master Servicer. Upon such appointment, the Custodian shall promptly transfer at its expense (if the Custodian terminates without cause) to the successor Custodian, as directed by the Trustee, all Custodial Files being administered under this Custodial Agreement. In the event that no successor Custodian is appointed within thirty (30) days after written notice of Custodian’s resignation is received by the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, and the Servicers, the Custodian may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Custodian or deliver the Custodial Files to the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the Master Servicer’s failure to pay the fees or expenses to the Custodian within thirty (30) days of the delivery of an invoice therefor, the Custodian shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Servicers and thereupon deliver the Custodial Files to the Trustee.

 

Section 22. Term of Agreement .

 

Unless terminated pursuant to Section 12 or Section 21 hereof, this Custodial Agreement shall terminate upon the final payment or other liquidation (or advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, and the final remittance of all funds due under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In such event all documents remaining in the Custodial Files shall be released in accordance with the written instructions of the Trustee.

The Custodian agrees to indemnify and defend, from the Custodian’s own funds, and hold the Trustee and its directors, affiliates, officers, agents, and employees harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including reasonable attorney’s fees, that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it or them in any way relating to or arising out of the Custodian’s material breach of this Agreement caused by its negligence, lack of good faith or willful misconduct, unless such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements were imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Trustee because of the breach by the Trustee of its obligations hereunder, which breach was caused by negligence, lack of good faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee or any of its directors, affiliates, officers, agents, or employees. The indemnification set forth in this section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the termination, resignation or removal of the Custodian.

 

The Custodian and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Custodian shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred in connection with any claim or legal action relating to this Custodial Agreement or in connection with the performance of any of the Custodian’s duties hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the Custodian’s duties hereunder.

In the absence of gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Custodian, the Custodian may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any data communications, magnetic tape, request, instructions, certificate, opinion or other document furnished to the Custodian, reasonably believed by the Custodian to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and conforming to the requirements of this Custodial Agreement; but in the case of any loan document or other request, instruction, document or certificate which by any provision hereof is specifically required to be furnished to the Custodian, the Custodian shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not it conforms prima facie to the requirements of this Custodial Agreement. Any written instruction provided by a Servicer in accordance with this Custodial Agreement shall be deemed to have been provided by the appropriate Servicer.

The Trustee will arrange for the provision of such services at the reasonable cost and expense of the Trust (or, at the Custodian’s option, the Trust shall reimburse the Custodian for all costs and expenses incurred by the Custodian consistent with such instructions). Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 25 above, it is expressly agreed that in no event shall the Custodian have any liability for any losses or damages to any person, including without limitation, the Trustee arising out of actions of the Custodian consistent with instructions of the Trustee.

(i)           Except as provided herein, the Custodian shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine the Custodial Files to determine that the contents thereof are appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have been actually recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.

 

(ii)          The Custodian shall not be responsible for preparing or filing any reports or returns relating to federal, state or local income taxes with respect to this Agreement, other than for the Custodian’s compensation or for reimbursement of expenses.

(iv)          Any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Custodian shall have no notice, and shall not be bound by any of the terms and conditions of any other document or agreement executed or delivered in connection with, or intended to control any part of, the transactions anticipated by or referred to in this Agreement unless the Custodian is a signatory party to that document or agreement.

 

(v)           The duties and obligations of the Custodian shall only be such as are expressly set forth in this Agreement or as set forth in a written amendment to this Agreement executed by the parties hereto or their successors and assigns. In the event that any provision of this Agreement implies or requires that action or forbearance be taken by a party, but is silent as to which party has the duty to act or refrain from acting, the parties agree that the Custodian shall not be the party required to take the action or refrain from acting. In no event shall the Custodian have any responsibility to ascertain or take action except as expressly provided herein.

 

(vi)          The Custodian shall have no responsibility or duty with respect to any Custodial File while not in its physical possession, it being expressly understood and agreed that possession by the Custodian of any Custodial File shall not be imputed to the Custodian at any time such Custodial File has been released pursuant to a Request for Release of Documents or is in transit with a courier to or from the Custodian. If the Custodian requests instructions from the Trustee, the Master Servicer or a Servicer with respect to any action or failure to act in connection with this Agreement and such request is in writing, the Custodian shall be entitled to refrain from taking such action and continue to refrain from acting unless and until the Custodian shall have received written instructions from the Trustee, the Master Servicer or such Servicer without incurring any liability therefor to the Trustee, the Servicers, the Master Servicer or any other Person. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to impose on the Custodian any duty to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction, other than (i) any jurisdiction where any Custodial File is held by the Custodian from time to time hereunder, and (ii) any jurisdiction where its conduct of business requires such qualification and where failure to qualify could have a material adverse effect on the Custodian or on the ability of the Custodian to perform its duties hereunder.

 

(vii)         The Custodian may consult with counsel selected by the Custodian with regard to legal questions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action reasonably taken, omitted or suffered by the Custodian in good faith and in accordance therewith.

 

17
 

  

(viii)        No provision of this Agreement shall require the Custodian to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights and powers, if, in its sole judgment, it shall believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to it.

 

(ix)          The Custodian shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not each amount or payment has been received by the Trustee or any third person.

 

(x)           Any written instructions provided to the Custodian by a Servicer in accordance with this Agreement shall be deemed to be provided by the appropriate Servicer.

 

(xi)           In order to comply with the laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including, without limitation, those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering, including Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act of the United States (“Applicable Law”), the Custodian is required to obtain, verify, record and update certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Custodian. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees to provide to the Custodian upon its request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Custodian to comply with Applicable Law.

 

(xii)          The Custodian may engage one or more nationally recognized third parties to perform recording services and document delivery services and any other third party as requested or directed by the Trustee in connection with the Custodian's duties hereunder, and shall not be responsible for the actions or non-actions of such third parties so long as the Custodian is not negligent in selecting such third parties; provided, however, that such appointment shall not relieve the Custodian from performance of its duties hereunder.

 

(xiii)         In no event shall Custodian be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an officer or officers of Custodian unless it shall be conclusively determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that Custodian was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

This Notice is to inform you that the prior owner of your loan has sold your loan (described below) to the new owner identified below on December 23, 2014.

 

**NOTE: The new owner identified below is not the servicer of your loan. The servicer (identified below) acts on behalf of the new owner to handle the ongoing administration of your loan, including the collection of mortgage payments. Please continue to send your mortgage payments as directed by the servicer, and NOT to the new owner. Payments sent to the new owner instead of the servicer may result in late charges on your loan and your account becoming past due. Neither the new owner nor the servicer is responsible for late charges or other consequences of any misdirected payment.

 

SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING YOUR LOAN, PLEASE CONTACT THE SERVICER USING THE CONTACT INFORMATION SET FORTH BELOW. The servicer is authorized to handle routine inquiries and requests regarding your loan and, if necessary, to inform the new owner of your request and communicate to you any decision with respect to such request. **

Additional reporting instructions:

 

Loan Modification
Cancellation/ Reversal
When a Servicer cancels a loan modification previously reported, it must report a new loan modification record with all applicable data based upon pre-modified terms. The Service may not only report the changed elements.
Curtailments And Ending Non- Interest Bearing Deferred Principal Balance And Non-Interest Bearing Deferred Paid In Full Amount When principal, in excess of the borrower's scheduled payment, is received and intended as a curtailment towards any outstanding principal forbearance, the Servicer must report the amount in the following manner to ensure the proper application of funds: If all or a portion of the curtailment amount is to be applied to the outstanding Non-Interest Bearing Deferred Principal Balance, the applicable amount must be reported in (i) the Non-Interest Bearing Deferred Principal Curtailment Amount field or (ii) if, as a result of the curtailment, the principal forbearance will be paid down to zero, the Non-Interest Bearing Deferred Paid in Full Amount field. Further, the Ending Non-Interest Bearing Deferred Principal Balance should reflect the outstanding balance per what is being applied.
Curtailments And Principal Forbearance Loss/(Recovery)

If the LOSS method was established at the time of modification and a curtailment, to be applied to the outstanding Non-Interest Bearing Deferred Principal Balance, is reported in any month after the modification, then the amount reported in the Non-Interest

Bearing Deferred Principal Curtailment Amount field must also be reported, as a recovery, in the Principal Forbearance Loss / (Recovery) field.

Reporting Of MI Premiums This is only applicable for MI Premiums paid by the Servicer per the deal documents. The MI Premium due based upon the total debt owed by the borrower per the loan modification agreement and the Premium Rate, adjusted monthly.
Incentive Payments More information on the calculation, origin, and details (payer, payee, etc) of incentive payments can be found in the most recent version of the HAMP handbook as well as the HAMP Compensation Matrix.

MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

THIS MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement” ) is made and entered into as of December 30, 2014, by and between Bank of America, N.A., a national banking association ( “Buyer” ), and Five Oaks Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation ( “Seller” ).

 

RECITALS

 

A. Seller has requested Buyer to enter into transactions with Seller whereby Seller may, from time to time, sell to Buyer certain residential mortgage loans (including the Servicing Rights related thereto) and/or other mortgage related assets and interests, against the transfer of funds by Buyer, with a simultaneous agreement by Buyer to sell to Seller such purchased assets at a date certain or on demand after the Purchase Date, against the transfer of funds by Seller (each such transaction, a “Transaction” ).

 

B. Buyer has agreed to enter into such Transactions, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual rights and obligations provided herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Seller and Buyer agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE 1
DEFINITIONS AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSTRUCTION

 

1.1 Defined Terms . As used in this Agreement, capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in Exhibit A hereto, unless the context otherwise requires. All such defined terms shall, unless specifically provided to the contrary, have the defined meanings set forth herein when used in any other agreement, certificate or document made or delivered pursuant hereto.

 

1.2 Interpretation; Principles of Construction . The following rules of this Section 1.2 apply unless the context requires otherwise. A gender includes all genders. Where a word or phrase is defined, its other grammatical forms have a corresponding meaning. A reference to a subsection, Section, Schedule or Exhibit is, unless otherwise specified, a reference to a Section of, or schedule or exhibit to, this Agreement. A reference to a party to this Agreement or another agreement or document includes the party’s successors and permitted substitutes or assigns. A reference to an agreement or document (including any Principal Agreement) is to the agreement or document as amended, modified, novated, supplemented or replaced, except to the extent prohibited thereby or by any Principal Agreement and in effect from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof. A reference to legislation or to a provision of legislation includes a modification or re-enactment of it, a legislative provision substituted for it and a regulation or statutory instrument issued under it. A reference to writing includes a facsimile transmission and any means of reproducing words in a tangible and permanently visible form. A reference to conduct includes, without limitation, an omission, statement or undertaking, whether or not in writing. The words “hereof”, “herein”, “hereunder” and similar words refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The term “including” is not limiting and means “including without limitation”. In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and including”, the words “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding”, and the word “through” means “to and including”.

 

1
 

 

Except where otherwise provided in this Agreement, any determination, consent, approval, statement or certificate made or confirmed in writing with notice to Seller by Buyer or an authorized officer of Buyer provided for in this Agreement is conclusive and binds the parties in the absence of manifest error. A reference to an agreement includes a security interest, guarantee, agreement or legally enforceable arrangement whether or not in writing related to such agreement.

 

A reference to a document includes an agreement (as so defined) in writing or a certificate, notice, instrument or document, or any information recorded in electronic form. Where Seller is required to provide any document to Buyer under the terms of this Agreement, the relevant document shall be provided in writing or printed form unless Buyer requests otherwise. At the request of Buyer, the document shall be provided in electronic form or both printed and electronic form.

 

This Agreement is the result of negotiations among, and has been reviewed by counsel to, Buyer and Seller, and is the product of all parties. In the interpretation of this Agreement, no rule of construction shall apply to disadvantage one party on the ground that such party proposed or was involved in the preparation of any particular provision of this Agreement or this Agreement itself. Except where otherwise expressly stated, Buyer may give or withhold, or give conditionally, approvals and consents and may form opinions and make determinations at its sole and absolute discretion. Any requirement of good faith, discretion or judgment by Buyer shall not be construed to require Buyer to request or await receipt of information or documentation not immediately available from or with respect to Seller, a servicer of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, any other Person or the Purchased Assets themselves. All references herein or in any Principal Agreement to “good faith” means good faith as defined in Section 1-201(19) of the Uniform Commercial Code.

 

ARTICLE 2
AMOUNT AND TERMS OF TRANSACTIONS

 

2.1 Agreement to Enter into Transactions . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and provided that no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer shall, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, enter into Transactions with Seller; provided, however, that (a) the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price as of any date shall not exceed the Aggregate Transaction Limit and (b) the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price for any Type of Transaction shall not exceed the applicable Type Sublimit. Buyer shall have the obligation to enter into Transactions with an Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price equal to or less than the Committed Amount, and Buyer shall have no obligation to enter into Transactions with respect to the Uncommitted Amount. All purchases of Purchased Assets shall be first deemed committed up to the Committed Amount and then the remainder, if any, shall be deemed uncommitted up the Uncommitted Amount. Seller may request Transactions in excess of the Aggregate Transaction Limit and Buyer may, from time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion, consent to a Temporary Increase of the Aggregate Transaction Limit in accordance with Section 2.10 .

 

2.2 Transaction Limits . The Aggregate Transaction Limit and each Type Sublimit shall be as set forth in the Transactions Terms Letter. Upon two (2) Business Days prior written notice to Seller, Buyer shall have the right to terminate any Transactions with respect to the Uncommitted Amount and require the repurchase of any such Purchased Assets, or reduce, whether permanently or temporarily, and without refund of any fee or other amount previously paid by Seller, the Aggregate Transaction Limit and/or each Type Sublimit by an amount up to the Uncommitted Amount. In the event of any reduction pursuant to this Section 2.2 , Buyer shall give Seller prior notice thereof, which notice shall designate (a) the effective date of any such reduction, (b) the amount of the reduction and (c) the Transaction and/or Type Sublimit limit(s) to which such reduction amount shall apply. Buyer shall not be liable to Seller for any costs, losses or damages arising from or relating to a reduction by Buyer in the Aggregate Transaction Limit or any Type Sublimit.

 

2
 

 

2.3 Description of Purchased Assets . With respect to each Transaction, Seller shall cause to be maintained with Buyer Purchased Assets with an Asset Value not less than, at any date, the related Purchase Price for such Transaction. With respect to each Transaction, the type of Purchased Asset shall be the type of Asset as specified in the Transactions Terms Letter as the Type, and in each case shall consist of the type of mortgage loans, mortgage related securities, or interests therein as described in Bankruptcy Code Section 101(47)(A). If there is uncertainty as to the Type of a Purchased Asset, Buyer shall determine the correct Type for such Purchased Asset.

 

2.4 Maximum Transaction Amounts . The Purchase Price for each proposed Transaction shall not exceed the least of:

 

(a) the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price for the applicable Type Sublimit (after giving effect to all Transactions then subject to the Agreement), as determined by the Type of Purchased Asset;

 

(b) the Aggregate Transaction Limit (as such amount may be increased from time to time in the sole discretion of Buyer as provided in Section 2.10 ), minus the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price of all other Transactions outstanding, if any; and

 

(c) the Asset Value of the related Purchased Asset(s).

 

2.5 Use of Proceeds . Seller shall use the Purchase Price of each Transaction solely for the purpose of acquiring the related Purchased Asset(s).

 

2.6 Price Differential .

 

(a) Price Differential . Notwithstanding that Buyer and Seller intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales by Seller to Buyer of the Purchased Assets for all purposes except accounting and tax purposes, Seller shall pay Buyer interest on the Purchase Price for each Purchased Asset from the Purchase Date until, but not including, the date on which the Repurchase Price is paid, at an annual rate equal to the Price Differential; provided that if the Repurchase Price for a Transaction is not paid by Seller when due (whether at the Repurchase Date, upon acceleration or otherwise), the Repurchase Price shall bear a Price Differential from the date due until paid in full at an annual rate equal to the Default Rate. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the date on which a Purchased Asset is deemed to be a Noncompliant Asset, the Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset shall bear a Price Differential at an annual rate equal to the sum of the Applicable Pricing Rate plus the Type Margin for a Noncompliant Asset.

 

(b) Time for Payment . Price Differential with respect to any Purchased Asset shall be due and payable on the Payment Date occurring in the second month following the related Purchase Date and thereafter on each subsequent Payment Date. On the date that the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset is paid, all accrued Price Differential not otherwise paid by the Seller with respect to such Purchased Asset shall be due and payable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.6(b) , in the event the Asset Value of any Purchased Asset is marked to zero and Seller requests Buyer to release its security interest in such Purchased Asset or any Purchased Items related thereto, Buyer shall not release any such security interest therein unless and until Seller shall have paid to Buyer the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset.

 

3

4.9 Method of Payment . Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments hereunder must be received by Buyer on the date when due and shall be made in United States dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with Buyer’s wire instructions set forth on Exhibit B or Exhibit J , as applicable. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and with respect to payments of the Purchase Price, the Price Differential thereon shall be payable at the Applicable Pricing Rate during such extension. All payments made by or on behalf of Seller with respect to any Transaction shall be applied to Seller’s account in accordance with Section 3.5(b)(ii) and Section 4.8 above and shall be made in such amounts as may be necessary in order that all such payments after withholding for or on account of any present or future Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority, other than any Excluded Taxes, compensate Buyer for any additional cost or reduced amount receivable of making or maintaining Transactions as a result of such Taxes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be responsible for maintaining its own book account and records of Transactions entered into with Buyer, amounts due to Buyer in connection with such Transactions and for paying such amounts when due. Failure of Buyer to provide Seller with information regarding any Transaction shall not excuse Seller’s timely performance of all obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, payment obligations under this Agreement.

 

4.13 Full Recourse . The obligations of Seller from time to time to pay the Repurchase Price, Margin Deficit payments, settlement payments and all other amounts due under this Agreement shall be full recourse obligations of Seller.

6.1 Precautionary Grant of Security Interest in Purchased Assets and Purchased Items . With respect to the Purchased Assets, although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases (other than for accounting and tax purposes) and not loans, and without prejudice to the provisions of Section 6.6 and the expressed intent of the parties, if any Transactions are deemed to be loans, as security for the performance of all of Seller’s obligations hereunder, Seller hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Buyer a continuing first priority security interest in and lien upon the Purchased Assets and other Purchased Items and Buyer shall have all the rights and remedies of a “secured party” under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the Purchased Assets and other Purchased Items. Possession of any promissory notes, instruments or documents by the Custodian shall constitute possession on behalf of Buyer.

 

Seller acknowledges that it has no rights to the Servicing Rights related to any Purchased Mortgage Loan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, if any determination is made that the Servicing Rights related to any Purchased Mortgage Loan were not sold by Seller to Buyer or that the Servicing Rights are not an interest in such Purchased Mortgage Loan and are severable from such Purchased Mortgage Loan despite Buyer’s and Seller’s express intent herein to treat them as included in the purchase and sale transaction, Seller hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Buyer a continuing first priority security interest in and lien upon the Servicing Rights related to such Purchased Mortgage Loans, and Buyer shall have all the rights and remedies of a “secured party” under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect thereto. In addition, Seller further grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a first priority security interest in and lien upon (i) all documentation and rights to receive documentation related to such Servicing Rights and the servicing of each of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, (ii) all Income related to the Purchased Assets received by Seller, (iii) all rights to receive such Income, (iv) all other Purchased Items, and (v) all products, proceeds and distributions relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing (collectively, and together with the pledge of Servicing Rights in the immediately preceding sentence, the “ Related Credit Enhancement ”). The Related Credit Enhancement is hereby pledged as further security for Seller’s obligations to Buyer hereunder.

 

At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Buyer, and at the sole expense of Seller, Seller will promptly and duly execute and deliver, or will promptly cause to be executed and delivered, such further instruments and documents and take such further action as Buyer may request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the Purchased Assets and related Purchased Items and the liens created hereby. Seller also hereby authorizes Buyer to file any such financing or continuation statement in a manner consistent with this Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable law. For purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code and all other relevant purposes, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement.

6.2 Servicing .

 

(a) Servicing Rights for Servicing Released Mortgage Loans Owned by Buyer; Buyer’s Right to Appoint Servicer . In recognition that each Servicing Released Mortgage Loan is sold by Seller to Buyer on a servicing released basis and Buyer is the owner of the Servicing Rights related to such Servicing Released Mortgage Loan, Buyer shall have the sole right to appoint the Servicer for each Purchased Mortgage Loan.

 

(b) Appointment of Servicer . Subject to Buyer’s right to appoint a successor Servicer at its discretion, Buyer hereby appoints Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, to subservice the Servicing Released Mortgage Loans on behalf of Buyer as agent for Buyer for the period between the Purchase Date and the Repurchase Date of the Servicing Released Mortgage Loans. The right of Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, to service the Servicing Released Mortgage Loans is on an interim basis only and does not provide or confer a contractual, ownership or other right for Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, to service the Servicing Released Mortgage Loans, it being understood that upon payment of the Purchase Price, Buyer owns the Servicing Rights and may assume servicing or appoint a Successor Servicer (i) sixty (60) days’ after the related Purchase Date or (ii) upon an Event of Default. Further, the fact that Seller or the Servicer may be entitled to a servicing fee for interim servicing of the Servicing Released Mortgage Loans or that Buyer may provide a separate notice of default to Seller or the Servicer regarding the servicing of the Servicing Released Mortgage Loans shall not affect or otherwise change Buyer’s ownership of the Servicing Rights related to the Servicing Released Mortgage Loans.

 

(c) Interim Servicing Period; No Servicing Fee or Income . For each Transaction, Seller’s or the Servicer’s, as applicable, right to interim service a Servicing Released Mortgage Loan shall commence on the related Purchase Date and shall automatically terminate without notice on the earlier of (i) sixty (60) days after the related Purchase Date or (ii) the Repurchase Date. If the interim servicing period expires with respect to any Servicing Released Mortgage Loan for any reason other than Seller repurchasing such Servicing Released Mortgage Loan, then such interim servicing period shall automatically terminate if not renewed by Buyer. In connection with any such renewal, Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, shall continue to interim service the Servicing Released Mortgage Loan for a thirty (30) day extension period. Absent any such extension of the interim servicing period, Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, shall transfer servicing of the Servicing Released Mortgage Loan (which shall include the delivery of all Servicing Records related to such Servicing Released Mortgage Loan) to Buyer or its designee in accordance with the instructions of Buyer and any other applicable requirements of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, upon expiration of the interim servicing period (including the expiration of any extension period) with respect to any Servicing Released Mortgage Loan, Seller shall have no right to service the related Servicing Released Mortgage Loan nor shall Buyer have any obligation to extend the interim servicing period (or continue to extend the interim servicing period), it being understood that upon such expiration, Seller shall promptly transfer the servicing of the related Servicing Released Mortgage Loan to Buyer or its designee in accordance with the instructions of Buyer and any other applicable requirements of this Agreement. Buyer shall have no obligation to pay Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, nor shall Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, have any right to deduct or retain, any servicing fee or similar compensation in connection with the interim servicing of a Servicing Released Mortgage Loan.

 

17
 

 

(d) Servicing Agreement . If there is a Servicer of the Purchased Mortgage Loans other than Seller, Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer, Seller shall enter into a Servicing Agreement with the Servicer. Such Servicing Agreement shall be on terms acceptable to Buyer in its discretion, and shall include, at a minimum, (i) a recognition by the Servicer of Buyer’s interests and rights to the Purchased Mortgage Loans as provided under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Buyer’s ownership of the Servicing Rights related to any Servicing Released Mortgage Loans, if applicable); (ii) an obligation for the Servicer to subservice the Servicing Released Mortgage Loans or service the Servicing Retained Mortgage Loans, as applicable, consistent with the degree of skill and care that the Servicer customarily requires with respect to similar Mortgage Loans owned or managed by it but in no event no less than in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices; (iii) an obligation to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations; (iv) an obligation to maintain all state and federal licenses necessary for it to perform its subservicing responsibilities; (v) an obligation not to impair the rights of Buyer in any Purchased Mortgage Loans or any payment thereto, and (vi) an obligation to collect all Income in respect of the Purchased Mortgage Loans for the benefit of Buyer, in trust, in segregated custodial accounts and remit such Income to the Custodial Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt. Further, such Servicing Agreement shall contain express reporting requirements and other rights to allow Buyer to inspect the records of the Servicer with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans. Buyer may terminate the servicing or subservicing of any Servicing Retained Mortgage Loan or Servicing Released Mortgage Loan, respectively, with the then existing Servicer in accordance with either Section 6.2(f) or Section 6.2(n) .

 

(e) Servicing Obligations of Seller . To the extent Seller shall subservice any Servicing Released Mortgage Loan on behalf of Buyer, Seller shall:

 

(i) Subservice and administer the Purchased Mortgage Loans 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 the degree of care and servicing standards generally prevailing in the industry, including all applicable requirements of the Agency Guides, applicable law, FHA Regulations and VA Regulations, the requirements of any Insurer, as applicable, and the requirements of any applicable Purchase Commitment and the related Approved Investor, so that neither the eligibility of the Purchased Mortgage Loan and any related Mortgage-Backed Security for purchase under such Purchase Commitment nor the FHA Mortgage Insurance, VA Loan Guaranty Agreement or any other applicable insurance or guarantee in respect of any such Purchased Mortgage Loan, if any, is voided or reduced by such servicing and administration;

 

(ii) Subject to Section 6.2(f) , and to the extent not otherwise held by the Custodian, Seller shall at all times maintain and safeguard the Mortgage Loan File for the Purchased Mortgage Loan in accordance with applicable law and lending industry custom and practice and shall hold such Mortgage Loan File in trust for Buyer, and in any event shall maintain and safeguard photocopies of the documents delivered to Buyer pursuant to Section 3.3 , and accurate and complete records of its servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loan; Seller’s possession of such Mortgage Loan File is for the sole purpose of subservicing such Purchased Mortgage Loan and such retention and possession by Seller is in a custodial capacity only;

(h) Right to Appoint Successor Servicer . Buyer reserves the right, in its discretion, to appoint a successor servicer to subservice any Servicing Released Mortgage Loan (each a “Successor Servicer” ). In the event of such an appointment, Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, shall perform all acts and take all action so that any part of the Mortgage Loan File and related Servicing Records held by Seller or the Servicer, together with all funds in the Custodial Account and other receipts relating to such Purchased Mortgage Loan, are promptly delivered to the Successor Servicer. Seller shall have no claim for servicing fees, lost profits or other damages if Buyer appoints a Successor Servicer hereunder.

 

(i) Custodial Account .

 

(i) Seller shall establish and maintain a segregated time or demand deposit account for the benefit of Buyer (the “Custodial Account” ) with an Eligible Bank and shall promptly deposit (but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours after receipt) into the Custodial Account all Income received with respect to each Purchased Asset sold hereunder. The Custodial Account may not be a deposit account that is established to serve as a custodial account for mortgage loans that Seller services for other parties. Under no circumstances shall Seller deposit any of its own funds into the Custodial Account or otherwise commingle its own funds with funds belonging to Buyer as owner of any Purchased Asset. If Seller fails to segregate any funds and commingles them with any source in breach of this Agreement, Seller agrees that its share of the commingled funds are assumed to have been spent first with any remaining balance to be deemed to belong to Buyer.

 

19
 

 

(ii) Seller hereby grants to Buyer a continuing first-priority security interest in all right, title, and interest in and to the Custodial Account. Seller shall, as a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to enter into any Transaction hereunder, perfect Buyer’s security interest in the Custodial Account, and either (A) cause the Eligible Bank to agree to comply at any time with instructions from Buyer to such Eligible Bank directing the disposition of funds from time to time credited to such Custodial Account, without further consent of Seller or any other Person, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer or (B) arrange for Buyer to become the customer of the Eligible Bank with respect to the Custodial Account, with Seller being permitted to exercise rights to withdraw funds from such Custodial Account as set forth in Section 6.2(i)(iii)(3) below (together, the “Control Agreement” ).

 

(iii) Any Income received with respect to a Purchased Asset purchased hereunder (but not any interest accrued on such Purchased Asset up to but not including the Purchase Date for such Purchased Asset), shall be segregated as described above and held in trust for the exclusive benefit of Buyer as the owner of such Purchased Asset and shall be released only as follows:

 

(1) after the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset has been paid in full to Buyer, all amounts previously deposited in the Custodial Account with respect to such Purchased Asset and then in the Custodial Account shall be released by Buyer to Seller or transferred to the Approved Investor or its designee if authorized by Seller;

 

(2) if a Successor Servicer is appointed by Buyer, all amounts deposited in the Custodial Account with respect to Purchased Mortgage Loans to be so subserviced shall be transferred into an account established by the Successor Servicer pursuant to its agreement with Buyer; or

(k) Accounting of Custodial Account . If Buyer so requests, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of each deposit in the Custodial Account, and each withdrawal from the Custodial Account, made by it with respect to the Purchased Assets. Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer photocopies of all periodic bank statements and other records relating to any Custodial Account as Buyer may from time to time request.

 

20

As a condition precedent to Buyer funding the Purchase Price for any Purchased Mortgage Loan serviced or subserviced by a Servicer other than Seller, Buyer, or an Affiliate of Buyer, Seller shall provide to Buyer a Servicer Notice addressed to and agreed to by the Servicer, advising the Servicer of such matters as Buyer may reasonably request, including, without limitation, recognition by the Servicer of Buyer’s interest in such Purchased Mortgage Loans and, with respect to Servicing Released Mortgage Loans, ownership of the Servicing Rights related thereto and the Servicer’s agreement that upon receipt of notice of an Event of Default from Buyer, it will follow the instructions of Buyer with respect to the servicing or subservicing of the related Purchased Mortgage Loans.

 

(m) Notification of Servicer Defaults . If Seller should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, any entity responsible to Seller by contract for managing or servicing any such Purchased Asset has failed to perform fully Seller’s obligations with respect to the management or servicing of such Purchased Mortgage Loan as required under this Agreement or any of the obligations of such entities with respect to the Purchased Asset as delegated by such Seller pursuant to any Servicing Agreement, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer.

 

(n) Termination . Buyer shall have the right at any time to immediately terminate the Seller’s or any Servicer’s (as applicable) right to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans due to a Servicer Termination Event, or solely with respect to Servicing Released Mortgage Loans, for any other reason, in each case, without payment of any penalty or termination fee. Seller shall cooperate, or cause the Servicer to cooperate, in transferring the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer appointed by Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt any termination of the Servicer’s rights to service by the Buyer as a result of a Servicer Termination Event or an Event of Default shall be deemed part of an exercise of the Buyer’s rights to cause the liquidation, termination or acceleration of this Agreement.

 

(o) Buyer’s Right to Service . Buyer or its designee, at the Buyer’s discretion, shall be entitled to service some or all of the Purchased Assets that are Servicing Released Mortgage Loans, including, without limitation, receiving and collecting all sums payable in respect of same.

(i) transfer to Buyer or its designee cash or, at Buyer’s sole option, Eligible Assets approved by Buyer ( “Additional Purchased Assets” ) so that (x) the individual Asset Value of the Purchased Asset, (y) the aggregate Asset Value of all Purchased Assets subject to each Transaction, or (z) the aggregate Asset Value of all Purchased Assets subject to Transactions, as the case may be, including any such cash or Additional Purchased Assets tendered by the Seller, will thereupon equal or exceed the individual or Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price(s) as applicable; or

 

(ii) pay one or more Repurchase Prices, as applicable, in an amount sufficient to reduce the related Purchase Price so that the related Purchase Price (or the related aggregate Purchase Price) is less than or equal to the Asset Value of the Purchased Asset (or the aggregate Asset Value of the Purchased Assets, as applicable).

 

If Buyer delivers a Margin Call to Seller on or prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, then Seller shall transfer cash or Additional Purchased Assets, as applicable, to Buyer no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) that same day.

Notice of a Margin Call may be provided by Buyer to Seller electronically or in writing, such as via electronic mail or posting such notice on Buyer’s customer website(s).

 

(c) Buyer’s Discretion . Buyer’s election not to make a Margin Call at any time there is a Margin Deficit shall not in any way limit or impair its right to make a Margin Call at any time a Margin Deficit exists.

(d) Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents Relating to Mortgage-Backed Securities . Upon the written request of Seller, Buyer may, at its option, deliver to the certifying custodian or permit the delivery to the certifying custodian of the Mortgage Loan Documents relating to those Purchased Mortgage Loans that are or will be Pooled Mortgage Loans.

6.5 Repurchase and Release of Purchased Assets . Provided that no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, Seller may repurchase a Purchased Asset by either:

 

(a) paying, or causing an Approved Investor to pay, to Buyer, subject to Sections 4.7 and 4.8 above, the Repurchase Price; or

 

(b) transferring to Buyer additional Assets satisfactory to Buyer and/or cash, in aggregate amounts sufficient to cover the amount by which the aggregate amount of Transactions then outstanding hereunder (plus accrued interest and accrued fees with respect thereto) exceeds the Asset Value of the existing Purchased Assets, excluding the Purchased Assets to be released; provided that (i) such additional Assets shall be deemed part of a new Transaction, (ii) the conditions precedent in Section 7.2 shall be satisfied prior to any such transfer, and (iii) any such transfer shall only relate to repurchases of Purchased Assets with respect to the Committed Amount.

If any such release gives rise to or perpetuates a Margin Deficit, Buyer shall notify Seller of the amount thereof and Seller shall thereupon satisfy the Margin Call in the manner specified in Section 6.3(b) . Buyer shall have no obligation to release a repurchased Purchased Asset or terminate its security interest in such Purchased Asset until such Margin Call is satisfied.

 

6.6 Repurchase Transactions . Beginning on the related Purchase Date and prior to the related Repurchase Date for a Transaction, Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all related Purchased Assets and may in its discretion and without notice to Seller engage in repurchase transactions with respect to any or all of such Purchased Assets or otherwise pledge, hypothecate, assign, transfer or convey any or all of such Purchased Assets (such transactions, “Repurchase Transactions” ). Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Purchased Asset or Purchased Item delivered to Buyer by Seller. Seller shall not be responsible for any additional obligations, costs or fees in connection with such Repurchase Transactions. Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with Buyer’s ownership of a Purchased Asset and shall not claim any legal, beneficial or other interest in such a Purchased Asset other than the limited right and obligations to provide servicing of such Purchased Mortgage Loans where Buyer designates Seller as servicer as provided in Section 6.2 .

Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right at any time during the term of this Agreement to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Assets, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties, covenants and specifications made hereunder or under any other Principal Agreement, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than one (1) Business Day’s) prior notice to Seller (provided that upon the occurrence of a Potential Default or an Event of Default, no such prior notice shall be required), Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, make copies of, and make extracts of, the Mortgage Loan Files, the Servicing Records and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession, or under the control, of Seller, Custodian or Servicer. Further, Seller will make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer and will instruct such officer to answer candidly and fully, at no cost to Buyer, any and all questions that any authorized representative of Buyer may address to them in reference to the Mortgage Loan Files and Purchased Assets.

(c) collect payments from Mortgagors and/or assume servicing of, or contract with a third party to subservice, any or all Purchased Mortgage Loans requiring servicing and/or perform any obligations required in connection with Purchase Commitments, with all of any such third party’s fees to be paid by Seller. In connection with collecting payments from Mortgagors and/or assuming servicing of any or all Purchased Mortgage Loans, Buyer may take possession of and open any mail addressed to Seller, remove, collect and apply all payments for Seller, sign Seller’s name to any receipts, checks, notes, agreements or other instruments or letters or appoint an agent to exercise and perform any of these rights. If Buyer so requests, Seller shall promptly forward to Buyer or its designee, all further mail and all “trailing” documents, such as title insurance policies, deeds of trust, and other documents, and all loan payment histories, both in paper and electronic format, in each case, as same relate to the Purchased Assets;

 

(d) proceed against Seller under this Agreement or against Guarantor under their respective Guaranty, or both;

 

(e) either (x) sell, without notice or demand of any kind, at a public or private sale and at such price or prices as Buyer may deem to be commercially reasonable for cash or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, any or all or portions of the Purchased Assets (A) on a servicing-retained or servicing-released basis with respect to Servicing Released Mortgage Loans, or (B) on a servicing-retained basis with respect to Servicing Retained Mortgage Loans; provided that Buyer may purchase any or all of the Purchased Assets at any public or private sale; provided further that Seller shall remain liable to Buyer for any amounts that remain owing to Buyer following any such sale and/or credit; or (y) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Assets (including credit for the Servicing Rights in respect of sales on a servicing-retained basis) in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Assets against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder.  Seller shall remain liable to Buyer for any amounts that remain owing to Buyer following a sale and/or credit under the preceding sentence;

 

46
 

 

(f) enter into one or more hedging arrangements covering all or a portion of the Purchased Assets; and/or

 

(g) pursue any rights and/or remedies available at law or in equity against Seller or Guarantor, or both.

 

11.3 Treatment of Custodial Account . During the existence of a Potential Default or an Event of Default, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Seller shall have no right to withdraw or release any funds in the Custodial Account to itself or for its benefit, nor shall it have any right to set-off any amount owed to it by Buyer against funds held by it for Buyer in the Custodial Account. During the existence of an Event of Default, Seller shall promptly remit to or at the direction of Buyer all funds related to the Purchased Assets in the Custodial Account.

 

11.4 Sale of Purchased Assets . With respect to any sale of Purchased Assets pursuant to Section 11.2(e) , Seller acknowledges and agrees that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Assets may not be liquid. Seller further agrees that in view of the nature of the Purchased Assets, liquidation of a Transaction or the underlying Purchased Assets does not require a public purchase or sale. Accordingly, Buyer may elect the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Asset and nothing contained herein shall obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Asset on the occurrence of an Event of Default, to liquidate all Purchased Assets in the same manner or on the same Business Day, or constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer. Seller hereby waives any claims it may have against Buyer arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Purchased Assets may have been sold at such private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate Repurchase Price amount of the outstanding Transactions, even if Buyer accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Purchased Assets, or any part thereof, to more than one offeree. Seller hereby agrees that the procedures outlined in Section 11.2(e) and this Section 11.4 for disposition and liquidation of the Purchased Assets are commercially reasonable. Seller further agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for Buyer to dispose of the Purchased Assets or any portion thereof by using internet sites that provide for the auction of assets similar to the Purchased Assets, or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets.

 

11.5 No Obligation to Pursue Remedy . Buyer shall have the right to exercise any of its rights and/or remedies without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind other than as expressly set forth herein, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Seller. Seller further waives any right to require Buyer to (a) proceed against any Person, (b) proceed against or exhaust all or any of the Purchased Assets or pursue its rights and remedies as against the Purchased Assets in any particular order, or (c) pursue any other remedy in its power. Buyer shall not be required to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights of Seller against holders of mortgages prior in lien to the lien of any Purchased Asset or to preserve rights against prior parties. No failure on the part of Buyer to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy provided hereunder, at law or in equity shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by Buyer of any right, power or remedy provided hereunder, at law or in equity preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Without intending to limit the foregoing, all defenses based on the statute of limitations are hereby waived by Seller. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity.

 

47
 

 

11.6 No Judicial Process . Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any right Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense Seller might otherwise have to its obligations under this Agreement arising from use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Purchased Assets or from any other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

 

11.7 Reimbursement of Costs and Expenses . Buyer may, but shall not be obligated to, advance any sums or do any act or thing necessary to uphold and enforce the lien and priority of, or the security intended to be afforded by, any Purchased Asset, including, without limitation, payment of delinquent Taxes or assessments and insurance premiums. All advances, charges, reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and losses resulting from any hedging arrangements entered into by Buyer pursuant to Section 11.2(f) , incurred or paid by Buyer in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, or in the enforcement hereof, together with interest thereon, at the Default Rate, from the time of payment until repaid, shall become a part of the Repurchase Price.

 

11.8 Application of Proceeds . The proceeds of any sale or other enforcement of Buyer’s interest in all or any part of the Purchased Assets shall be applied by Buyer:

 

(a) first , to the payment of the costs and expenses of such sale or enforcement, including reasonable compensation to Buyer’s agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by or on behalf of Buyer in connection therewith;

 

(b) second , to the costs of cover and/or related hedging transactions;

 

(c) third , to the payment of any other amounts due under this Agreement other than the aggregate Repurchase Price;

 

(d) fourth , to the payment of the aggregate Repurchase Price;

 

(e) fifth , to all other obligations owed by Seller under this Agreement and the other Principal Agreements; and

 

(f) sixth , in accordance with Buyer’s exercise of its rights under Section 11.9 hereof.

 

11.9 Rights of Set-Off . Buyer shall have the following rights of set-off:

 

(a) If Seller shall default in the payment or performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right, at any time, and from time to time, without notice, to set-off claims and to appropriate or apply any and all deposits of money or property or any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by Buyer to or for the credit of the account of Seller against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of Seller under this Agreement, irrespective of whether or not Buyer shall have made any demand hereunder and whether or not said obligations and liabilities shall have become due; provided, however, that the aforesaid right to set-off shall not apply to any deposits of escrow monies being held on behalf of the Mortgagors related to the Purchased Mortgage Loans or other third parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to set-off claims and apply property held by Buyer with respect to any Transaction against obligations and liabilities owed by Seller to Buyer with respect to any other Transaction. Buyer may set off cash, the proceeds of any liquidation of the Purchased Assets and all other sums or obligations owed by Buyer to Seller against all of Seller’s obligations to Buyer, whether under this Agreement, under a Transaction, or under any other agreement between the parties, or otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency. Buyer agrees promptly to notify Seller after any such set-off and application made by Buyer; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

 

48
 

 

(b) In addition to the rights in subsection (a), Buyer and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Bank of America Related Entities” ), shall have the right to set-off and to appropriate or apply any and all deposits of money or property or any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Bank of America Related Entities to or for the credit of the account of Seller and its Affiliates against and on account of the obligations of Seller under any agreement(s) between Seller and/or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Bank of America Related Entities, on the other hand, irrespective of whether or not the Bank of America Related Entity shall have made any demand hereunder and whether or not said obligations shall have matured. In exercising the foregoing right to set-off, any Bank of America Related Entity shall be entitled to withdraw funds in the Over/Under Account which are being held for or owing to Seller to set-off against any amounts due and owing by Seller to the Bank of America Related Entity. If a Bank of America Related Entity other than Buyer intends to exercise its right to set-off in this subsection (b), such Bank of America Related Entity shall provide Seller prior notice thereof, and upon Seller’s receipt of such notice, if the basis for such right to set-off is Seller’s breach or default of its obligations to the Bank of America Related Entity, Seller shall have three (3) Business Days to cure any such breach or default in order to avoid such set-off.

 

11.10 Reasonable Assurances . If, at any time during the term of the Agreement, Buyer has reason to believe that Seller is not conducting its business in accordance with, or otherwise is not satisfying: (i) all applicable statutes, regulations, rules, and notices of federal, state, or local governmental agencies or instrumentalities, all applicable requirements of Approved Investors and Insurers and prudent industry standards or (ii) all applicable requirements of Buyer, as set forth in this Agreement, then, Buyer shall have the right to demand, pursuant to notice from Buyer to Seller specifying with particularity the alleged act, error or omission in question, reasonable assurances from Seller that such a belief is in fact unfounded, and any failure of Seller to provide to Buyer such reasonable assurances in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, within the time frame specified in such notice, shall itself constitute an Event of Default hereunder, without a further cure period. Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to confirm the continued eligibility of Seller for Transactions hereunder, including without limitation (i) ordering credit reports and/or appraisals with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan, (ii) contacting Mortgagors, licensing authorities and Approved Investors or Insurers, and (iii) performing due diligence reviews on the Purchased Mortgage Loans and related Mortgage Loan Files pursuant to Section 6.7 and other Purchased Assets.

 

ARTICLE 12
INDEMNIFICATION

 

12.1 Indemnification . Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Bank of America Related Entities and any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party” ) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind whatsoever (including reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel) that may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party in any way relating to or arising out of the Principal Agreements, any other document referred to therein or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, or any Purchased Assets or Seller’s obligations thereunder, except to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are the direct result of such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Seller also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party for all such Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of such Indemnified Party’s rights under this Agreement, any other Principal Agreement (provided that if the terms of any Principal Agreement conflict with the foregoing, the terms of the Principal Agreement shall control) or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel.

 

49
 

 

12.2 Reimbursement . Seller shall reimburse the Bank of America Related Entities for all expenses required in the Transactions Terms Letter to be reimbursed when they become due and owing. In addition, Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the reasonable out-of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with (i) the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby including, without limitation, all the due diligence, inspection, testing and review costs and expenses incurred by Buyer with respect to Purchased Assets prior to the Effective Date or pursuant to Section 6.7 , or otherwise, (ii) the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, any Principal Agreement or any other documents prepared in connection therewith, and (iii) all the reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to Buyer incurred in connection with any of the foregoing.

 

12.3 Payment of Taxes .

 

(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, duties, deductions, charges, assessments, fees or withholdings (including backup withholdings), and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto imposed by any Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes” ), but excluding income taxes (however denominated), branch profits taxes and franchise taxes imposed 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 (such exclusions from Taxes, “Excluded 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 law or regulation to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder, it shall: (i) make such deduction or withholding; (ii) pay the amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority not later than the date when due; (iii) 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 (iv) pay to Buyer such additional amounts as may be necessary so that such Buyer receives, free and clear of all Indemnified Taxes (as defined below), a net amount equal to the amount it would have received under this Agreement, as if no such deduction or withholding had been made. In addition, Seller agrees to timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp, court or documentary taxes, intangible, filing, excise, property or similar Taxes (including, without limitation, mortgage recording taxes, transfer taxes and similar fees) imposed by any Governmental Authority that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, performance or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement ( “Other Taxes” ). Taxes other than Excluded Taxes shall be referred to in this Agreement as “Indemnified Taxes” .

 

50
 

 

(b) Seller shall, within 10 days after demand therefor, indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against the full amount of any and all Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and Other Taxes arising with respect to the Purchased Assets, the Principal Agreements and other documents related thereto and fully indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against any and all liabilities or expenses with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay such Taxes, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or assessed by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of any payment or liability of Buyer with respect to such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes delivered to Seller by Buyer shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(c) Any Buyer that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia (a “Foreign Buyer” ) and that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement shall provide Seller with properly completed United States Internal Revenue Service ( “IRS” ) Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY or W-8ECI or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying that such Foreign Buyer is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces or eliminates the rate of withholding Tax on payments of interest or certifying 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 prior to the date upon which each such Foreign Buyer becomes a Buyer. If an IRS form previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, each Foreign Buyer will update such form or promptly notify Seller of its legal inability to do so. For any period with respect to which a Foreign Buyer has failed to provide Seller with the appropriate IRS forms prescribed by this Section 12.3(c) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which such form originally was required to be provided), such Foreign Buyer shall not be entitled to any “gross-up” of Indemnified Taxes or indemnification under Section 12.3(b) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Foreign Buyer, which is otherwise exempt from a withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver an IRS form required hereunder, Seller shall take such steps as such Foreign Buyer shall reasonably request to assist such Foreign Buyer to recover such Taxes.

 

(d) Nothing contained in this Section 12.3 shall require Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary or otherwise subject Buyer to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Buyer.

 

12.4 Buyer Payment . If Seller fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under this Article 12 , such amount may be paid on behalf of Seller by Buyer, in its discretion and Seller shall remain liable for any such payments by Buyer. No such payment by Buyer shall be deemed a waiver of any of Buyer’s rights under any of the Principal Agreements.

 

12.5 Agreement not to Assert Claims . Seller agrees not to assert any claim against any Indemnified Party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Principal Agreements, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY AND AGREEMENT NOT TO ASSERT CLAIMS EXPRESSLY APPLIES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO THE NEGLIGENCE (BUT NOT GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT) OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.

 

51
 

 

12.6 Survival . Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the covenants and obligations of Seller contained in this Article 12 shall survive the payment in full of the Repurchase Prices and all other amounts payable hereunder and delivery of the Purchased Assets by Buyer against full payment therefor.

 

ARTICLE 13
TERM AND TERMINATION

 

13.1 Term . Provided that no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, and except as otherwise provided for herein, this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue until the Expiration Date. Following expiration or termination of this Agreement, all amounts due Buyer under the Principal Agreements shall be immediately due and payable without notice to Seller and without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or dishonor, or other notice of default, and without formally placing Seller in default, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Seller.

 

13.2 Termination .

 

(a) Buyer may terminate this Agreement following an Event of Default or otherwise for cause at any time, in each case, at any time by providing notice to Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, cause shall be deemed to exist if (i) this Agreement or any Transaction is deemed by a court or by statute to not constitute a “repurchase agreement,” a “securities contract,” or a “master netting agreement,” as each such term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) payments or security offered hereunder are deemed by a court or by statute not to constitute “settlement payments” or “margin payments” as each such term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code, (iii) this Agreement or any Transaction is deemed by a court or by statute not to constitute an agreement to provide financial accommodations as described in Bankruptcy Code Section 365(c)(1) or (iv) Buyer determines that there has been fraud, misrepresentation or any similar intentional conduct on behalf of Seller, its officers, directors, employees, agents and/or its representatives with respect to any of Seller’s obligations, responsibilities or actions undertaken in connection with this Agreement. Further, Buyer may, without cause and for any reason whatsoever, terminate this Agreement with respect to the Uncommitted Amount at any time by providing two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to Seller.

 

(b) Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, all outstanding amounts due to Buyer under the Principal Agreements shall be immediately due and payable without notice to Seller and without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or dishonor, or other notice of default, and without formally placing Seller in default, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Seller. Further, any termination of this Agreement shall not affect the outstanding obligations of Seller under this Agreement or any other Principal Agreement and all such outstanding obligations and the rights and remedies afforded Buyer in connection therewith, including, without limitation, those rights and remedies afforded Buyer under this Agreement, shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Buyer shall not be liable to Seller for any costs, loss or damages arising from or relating to a termination by Buyer in accordance with any subsection of this Section 13.2 .

 

13.3 Extension of Term . Upon mutual agreement of Seller and Buyer, the term of this Agreement may be extended. Such extension may be made subject to the terms and conditions hereunder and to any other terms and conditions as Buyer may determine to be necessary or advisable. Under no circumstances shall such an extension by Buyer be interpreted or construed as a forfeiture by Buyer of any of its rights, entitlements or interest created hereunder. Seller acknowledges and understands that Buyer is under no obligation whatsoever to extend the term of this Agreement beyond the initial term.

 

52
 

 

ARTICLE 14
GENERAL

 

14.1 Integration; Servicing Provisions Integral and Non-Severable . This Agreement, together with the other Principal Agreements, and all other documents executed pursuant to the terms hereof and thereof, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications with respect to the subject matter hereof, all of which such communications are merged herein. All Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and each Transaction has been entered into in consideration of the other Transactions. Accordingly, each of Buyer and the Seller agrees that payments, deliveries, and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries, and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries, and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provisions of this Agreement related to the servicing and Servicing Rights of the Purchased Mortgage Loans are integral, interrelated, and are non-severable from the purchase and sale provisions of the Agreement. Buyer has relied upon such provisions as being integral and non-severable in determining whether to enter into this Agreement and in determining the Purchase Price methodology for such Mortgage Loans. The integration of these servicing provisions is necessary to enable Buyer to obtain the maximum value from the sale of the Purchased Mortgage Loans by having the ability to sell the Servicing Rights related to such Purchased Mortgage Loans free from any claims or encumbrances. Further, the fact that Seller or the Servicer may be entitled to a servicing fee for interim servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans or that Buyer may provide a separate notice of default to Seller or the Servicer regarding the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans shall not affect or otherwise change the intent of Seller and Buyer regarding the integral and non- severable nature of the provisions in the Agreement related to servicing and Servicing Rights nor will such facts affect or otherwise change Buyer’s ownership of the Servicing Rights related to the Purchased Mortgage Loans.

 

14.2 Amendments . No modification, waiver, amendment, discharge or change of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same is in writing and signed by the party against whom the enforcement of such modification, waiver, amendment, discharge or change is sought.

 

14.3 No Waiver . No failure or delay on the part of Seller or Buyer in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder and no course of dealing between Seller and Buyer shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder.

 

14.4 Remedies Cumulative . The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that Seller or Buyer would otherwise have. No notice or demand on Seller in any case shall entitle Seller to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Buyer to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

 

14.5 Assignment . The Principal Agreements may not be assigned by Seller. The Principal Agreements, along with Buyer’s right, title and interest, including its security interest, in any or all of the Purchased Assets and other Purchased Items, may, at any time, be transferred or assigned, in whole or in part, by Buyer, and upon providing notice to Seller of such transfer or assignment together with an acknowledgement from the assignee agreeing to Buyer’s rights and obligations hereunder, any transferee or assignee thereof may enforce the Principal Agreements and such security interest directly against Seller.

 

53
 

 

14.6 Successors and Assigns . The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

14.7 Participations . Buyer may from time to time sell or otherwise grant participations in this Agreement, and the holder of any such participation, if the participation agreement so provides, (i) shall, with respect to its participation, be entitled to all of the rights of Buyer and (ii) may exercise any and all rights of set-off or banker’s lien with respect thereto, in each case as fully as though Seller were directly obligated to the holder of such participation in the amount of such participation; provided, however, that Seller shall not be required to send or deliver to any of the participants other than Buyer any of the materials or notices required to be sent or delivered by it under the terms of this Agreement, nor shall it have to act except in compliance with the instructions of Buyer.

 

14.8 Invalidity . In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had not been included.

 

14.9 Additional Instruments . Seller shall execute and deliver such further instruments and shall do and perform all matters and things necessary or expedient to be done or observed for the purpose of effectively creating, maintaining and preserving the security and benefits intended to be afforded by this Agreement.

 

14.10 Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained on the part of Seller shall survive any Transaction and shall be effective so long as this Agreement is in effect or there remains any obligation of Seller hereunder to be performed.

 

14.11 Notices .

 

(a) All notices, demands, consents, requests and other communications required or permitted to be given or made hereunder in writing shall be mailed (first class, return receipt requested and postage prepaid) or delivered in person or by overnight delivery service or by facsimile, addressed to the respective parties hereto at their respective addresses set forth below or, as to any such party, at such other address as may be designated by it in a notice to the other:

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter is being sent in accordance with that Master Repurchase Agreement dated as of December 30, 2014 (the “Agreement”) between Five Oaks Acquisition Corp. (“Seller”) and Bank of America, N.A. (“Buyer”), the terms of which do not affect Closing Agent except as set forth herein.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, you have been identified as either:

 

· the title insurer to close and provide title insurance on certain mortgage loans made by Seller; or

 

· the closing agent to close and fund certain mortgage loans made by Seller and covered by the above referenced closing protection letter (the “Mortgage Loans”).

 

From time to time, Buyer will wire to you, for the account of Seller, funds requested by Seller under the terms of the Agreement to be used by you for the purpose of funding such Mortgage Loan(s) and for no other purpose. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you are not to distribute any of such funds to Seller. You must immediately return the funds to Buyer at the following account if one of the following conditions occurs:

 

· You do not close any Mortgage Loan within forty-eight (48) hours of the time you receive the applicable funds; or

 

· You receive funds for a Mortgage Loan for which you have not been instructed by Seller to (a) obtain title insurance from the title insurance company specified in the above referenced closing protection letter or (b) underwrite the title insurance.

 

Bank: Bank of America, N.A.
ABA No.: 026009593
Account No.: 1233460784
Credit: Warehouse Lending – Payoff Account

Exh. B- 1

With respect to each Mortgage Loan for which you act as Closing Agent, Seller will deliver to you final closing instructions specific to such Mortgage Loan. In the event that the terms of the final closing instructions contradict the terms of these irrevocable closing instructions, the terms of these irrevocable closing instructions shall govern. Permission to change the scheduled closing date for any Mortgage Loan beyond the time permitted herein or permission to otherwise deviate from these irrevocable closing instructions must be furnished to you in a writing signed by Buyer and Seller.

 

By your participation in the closing and funding of a Mortgage Loan as Closing Agent, you agree to act as Buyer’s bailee with respect to such Mortgage Loan and the Mortgage Loan Documents referenced above and you thereby acknowledge your responsibility to Buyer as holder of an interest in such Mortgage Loan and to care for and protect Buyer’s interest in such Mortgage Loan.

Five Oaks Investment Corp.

 

I, ___________________________, do hereby certify that I am the duly elected authorized Chief Financial Officer of Five Oaks Acquisition Corp. (“Seller”) and Five Oaks Investment Corp. (“Guarantor”). This certificate in connection with Section 9.1(c) of the Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of December 30, 2014, by and between Seller and Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America” or “Buyer”) (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Agreement”) and the Guaranty, dated as of December 30, 2014 by Guarantor to and for the benefit of Bank of America. I do hereby certify that, as of the date of the financial statements attached hereto and as of the date hereof, Seller and Guarantor are and have been in compliance with all the terms of the Agreement and Guaranty and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, I certify that:

 

1. Representations and Warranties: The representations and warranties made by Seller and Guarantor under the Agreement, Guaranty and other Principal Agreements (between Bank of America and Seller and Bank of America and Guarantor) are accurate and true on and as of the date hereof with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the date hereof, including, without limitation, the following:

 

a) Financial Condition: All financial statements of Seller and Guarantor delivered to Bank of America fairly and accurately present the financial condition of the parties for whom such statements are submitted as of the date set forth therein. The financial statements of Seller and Guarantor have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved, and there are no contingent liabilities not disclosed thereby that would adversely affect the financial condition of Seller and/or Guarantor. Since the close of the period covered by the latest financial statement delivered to Bank of America with respect to Seller and Guarantor, there has been no material adverse change in the assets, liabilities or financial condition of Seller and Guarantor nor is Seller or Guarantor aware of any facts that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would or could result in any such material adverse change. No event has occurred, including, without limitation, any litigation or administrative proceedings, and no condition exists or, to the knowledge of Seller or Guarantor, is threatened, that (i) might render Seller or Guarantor unable to perform its obligations under the Principal Agreements and all other documents contemplated thereby; (ii) would constitute a Potential Default or Event of Default; or (iii) is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Seller or Guarantor.

 

b) Solvency: The fair value of the assets of Seller and Guarantor is greater than the fair value of the liabilities (including, without limitation, contingent liabilities if and to the extent required to be recorded as a liability on the financial statements of Seller and Guarantor, respectively, in accordance with GAAP) of Seller and Seller is and will be solvent, is and will be able to pay its debts as they mature and does not and will 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 and Guarantor are not contemplating the commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official in respect of Seller and Guarantor or any of its assets. Seller and Guarantor are not transferring any Mortgage Loans with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors.

 

2. Compliance with Agreement and other Principal Agreements: Seller and Guarantor are in full compliance with all of the terms and provisions set forth in the Agreement, Guaranty and other Principal Agreements on its part to be performed and observed, and no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

3. Compliance with Other Agreements: Seller and Guarantor are in full compliance with all of the terms and provisions set forth in any agreements between Seller or Guarantor, Bank of America and/or Bank of America affiliates on its part to be performed and observed, and no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing.

7. Escrow and Mortgage Insurance Proceeds: To the extent applicable, Seller and Guarantor has segregated all escrow and mortgage insurance proceeds into an individual custodial account and is in compliance with all applicable laws.

 

8. Liabilities and Advances: Except as otherwise permitted under the Agreement, Seller has not, either directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Bank of America, made any personal loans or advances to any officers, employees, shareholders, members, partners or owners of Seller or any Guarantor in an aggregate amount exceeding ten percent (10%) of Seller’s Tangible Net Worth. Except as otherwise permitted under the Agreement, Seller has not incurred any additional material Debt without the prior written consent of Bank of America.

 

9. Regulatory Action: Seller has not, either directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Bank of America, taken, or failed to take, any action that would cause Seller to lose all or any part of its status as an eligible seller or mortgagee or willfully terminate its status as an eligible seller or mortgagee by an Agency or Government Authority without forty-five (45) days prior written notice to Bank of America.

 

10. Attachments: The following attachments and information contained therein are accurate and true in all respects and do not fail to include any information which is necessary to not make such attachments and the information contained therein misleading.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

Representations and Warranties Concerning Purchased Assets . Seller represents and warrants to and covenants with Buyer that the following are true and correct with respect to each Purchased Asset as of the related Purchase Date through and until the date on which such Purchased Asset is repurchased by Seller:

 

(a) Eligible Asset . The Mortgage Loan is an Eligible Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Mortgagor thereunder, enforceable in accordance with its terms and subject to no offset, defense or counterclaim, obligating Mortgagor to make the payments specified therein.

 

(b) Purchase Commitment; Trade Assignment . Unless otherwise stated in the Transactions Terms Letter, the Asset is covered by a Purchase Commitment that (i) permits assignment thereof to Buyer, (ii) does not exceed the availability under such Purchase Commitment (taking into consideration mortgage loans or securities, as applicable, which have been purchased by the respective Approved Investor under the Purchase Commitment), (iii) conforms to the requirements and the specifications set forth in such Purchase Commitment and the related regulations, rules, requirements and/or handbooks of the applicable Approved Investor, and (iv) is eligible for sale to and insurance or guaranty by, respectively, the applicable Approved Investor and any applicable insurer. Each such Purchase Commitment is enforceable, in full force and effect, and if such Asset is a Pooled Mortgage Loan, such Purchase Commitment is validly and effectively assigned to Buyer pursuant to a Trade Assignment. Each such Trade Assignment is enforceable and in full force and effect, and was delivered by Seller to Buyer in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 7.2(b) . Each Purchase Commitment and Trade Assignment is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller 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).

 

(c) Asset Data Record . The information contained in the Asset Data Record is true, correct and complete.

 

(d) Origination and Servicing . The Mortgage Loan was originated by or in conjunction with a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or similar banking institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority. The Mortgage Loan has been originated and serviced in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices, applicable Approved Investor and Insurer requirements and all applicable federal, state and local statutes, regulations and rules, including, without limitation, the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act of 1968, as amended, and Regulation Z thereunder, the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Federal Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974, as amended, and Regulation X thereunder, and all applicable usury, licensing, real property, consumer protection and other laws.

 

(e) Compliance with Applicable Laws . Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the Asset have been complied with, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations, and Seller shall maintain or shall cause its agent to maintain in its possession, available for the inspection of Buyer, and shall deliver to Buyer, upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements.

 

Exh. L- 1
 

 

(f) Validity of Mortgage Documents . The Mortgage Loan is evidenced by instruments acceptable to FHA, VA, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or the Approved Investor, as applicable, given the type of Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan Documents, Other Mortgage Loan Documents and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor or guarantor, if applicable, in connection with a Mortgage Loan, and all signatures thereon, are genuine, and each such document is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally, and there are no rights of rescission, set-offs, counterclaims or other defenses with respect thereto. All parties to the Mortgage Loan Documents, Other Mortgage Loan Documents and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor or guarantor, if applicable, had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver any such instrument or agreement and such instrument or agreement has been duly and properly executed by such related parties. Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Mortgage Loan File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, except as disclosed to Buyer in writing, all tax identifications and property descriptions are legally sufficient; and tax segregation, where required, has been completed.

 

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

 

(h) Private Mortgage Insurance . Each Agency Eligible Mortgage Loan and Conventional Conforming Mortgage Loan is insured by a policy of private mortgage insurance in the amount required by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, as applicable, and by an Insurer and all provisions of such private mortgage insurance policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. There are no defenses, counterclaims or rights of setoff affecting the Agency Eligible Mortgage Loan and Conventional Conforming Mortgage Loan or affecting the validity or enforceability of any private mortgage insurance applicable to such Mortgage Loan.

 

(i) Original Terms Unmodified . The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage (and the Proprietary Lease, the Assignment of Proprietary Lease and Stock Power with respect to each Cooperative Mortgage Loan) have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect from the date of origination, except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of Buyer, and which has been delivered to Custodian; provided, that none of the payment terms, interest rate, maturity date or other material terms have been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent required. No Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by such policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage Loan File delivered to Custodian.

 

Exh. L- 2
 

 

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

 

(k) No Satisfaction of Mortgage . The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would affect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. Seller has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor; and with respect to each Cooperative Mortgage Loan, there is no default in complying with the terms of the Mortgage Note, the Assignment of Proprietary Lease and the Proprietary Lease and all maintenance charges and assessments (including assessments payable in the future installments, which previously became due and owing) have been paid, and Seller has the right under the terms of the Mortgage Note, Assignment of Proprietary Lease and Recognition Agreement to pay any maintenance charges or assessments owed by the Mortgagor.

 

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

 

(m) No Waiver . The terms of the Mortgage Loan have not been waived, impaired, changed or modified, except to the extent such amendment or modification has been disclosed to Buyer in writing and does not affect the salability of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the applicable Purchase Commitment; provided, that none of the payment terms, interest rate, maturity date or other material terms have been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect.

 

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

 

Exh. L- 3
 

 

(o) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property . The Mortgaged Property consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or such other dwelling(s) conforming with the applicable Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac requirements regarding such dwellings or conforming to Seller’s acquisition guidelines acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion; provided that no residence or dwelling is a condominium unit (unless the related Mortgage Loan was originated in compliance with (x) with respect to Agency Eligible Mortgage Loans, the Agency Guides and (y) with respect to Jumbo Mortgage Loans, the underwriting or acquisition guidelines, as applicable), a mobile home or a manufactured home. No Mortgage Loan is secured by a multi-family, mixed-use or commercial property, nor is any portion of the Mortgaged Property used for commercial purposes.

 

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

 

(q) Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property . As of the Purchase Date the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities. Seller has not received notification from any Governmental Authority that the Mortgaged Property is in material non-compliance with such laws or regulations, is being used, operated or occupied unlawfully or has failed to have or obtain such inspection, licenses or certificates, as the case may be. Seller has not received notice of any violation or failure to conform with any such law, ordinance, regulation, standard, license or certificate.

 

(r) Lien Position . The Mortgage Loan is secured by a valid first priority lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgage Property, under the laws of the state where the related mortgaged property in located. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to:

 

(i)          [reserved];

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein and Seller has full right to pledge and assign the same to Buyer. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage.

 

Exh. L- 4
 

 

(s) No Future Advances . The full original principal amount of each Mortgage Loan, net of any discounts, has been fully advanced or disbursed to the Mortgagor named therein, unless otherwise expressly agreed by the parties in writing. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage. There is no requirement for future advances and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been satisfied.

 

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

 

(u) Doing Business . All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (i) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (ii) either (A) organized under the laws of such state, (B) qualified to do business in such state, (C) a federal savings and loan association, a savings bank or a national bank having a principal office in such state, or (D) not doing business in such state.

 

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

Guarantor waives any personal defense based on or arising out of any personal defense of Seller other than payment in full of the Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of Seller, or the invalidity or unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of Seller other than payment in full of the Obligations. Bank of America may, at its election, exercise any right or remedy Bank of America may have against Seller, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid. Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of Guarantor against Seller or any security.

 

6. Waiver of Rights .

 

(a) Waiver of Subrogation, Reimbursement, Contribution and Similar Rights . As long as there are outstanding Obligations which have not been paid in full, Guarantor waives any claim, remedy or rights that Guarantor may now have or may hereafter acquire against Seller or any guarantor of all or any of the Obligations, including, without limitation: (i) any rights of subrogation and contribution, (ii) any rights of reimbursement, (iii) any rights of performance, (iv) any rights of exoneration and/or any rights of indemnification and (v) any rights to participate in any claim or remedy that Bank of America has against Seller or any collateral that Bank of America now has or hereafter acquire for the Obligations (including, without limitation, the Purchased Assets), whether or not such claim, remedy or rights arise in equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including, without limitation, the rights to take or receive from Seller, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or rights (such rights, collectively, the “ Guarantor’s Conditional Rights ”). If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of Guarantor’s Conditional Rights and either (A) such amount is paid to Guarantor at any time when there are outstanding Obligations or (B) regardless of when such amount is paid to Guarantor, any payment made by Seller to Bank of America is at any time determined to be a preferential payment, then such amount paid to Guarantor shall be deemed to be held in trust for the benefit of Bank of America and shall immediately be paid to Bank of America to be credited and applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order and manner as Bank of America, in its sole discretion, shall determine.

 

 
 

 

(b) Waiver Regarding Application of Payments . Guarantor irrevocably waives any rights that Guarantor may now have or may hereafter acquire to require Bank of America to apply any amounts received by Bank of America from whatever source on account of the Obligations in any order or application, it being expressly acknowledged and agreed by Guarantor that any amounts received by Bank of America from whatsoever source on account of the Obligations may be applied by Bank of America toward the payment of such of the Obligations, and in such order of payment and application, as Bank of America may from time to time elect in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

(c) Waiver of Notice, Presentment, Demand and Similar Rights . Guarantor irrevocably waives any rights that Guarantor may now have or may hereafter acquire with respect to all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of non-performance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Obligations.

 

(d) Waiver of Priority of Collection and Election of Remedies . Guarantor irrevocably waives any rights that Guarantor may now have or may hereafter acquire to require Bank of America to: (i) proceed against Seller or any other party; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Seller; or (iii) pursue any other remedy in Bank of America’s power whatsoever. Bank of America may, at its election, exercise any right or remedy Bank of America may have against Seller without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty except to the extent the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full. Without expanding any rights of subrogation which Guarantor may possess as set forth in subsection (a) above, Guarantor understands that the exercise by Bank of America of certain rights and remedies contained in the Repurchase Agreement may affect or eliminate any such rights of subrogation against Seller and that Guarantor may therefore incur a partially or totally non-reimbursable liability hereunder, nevertheless, Guarantor hereby authorizes and empowers Bank of America to exercise, in its sole discretion, any rights and remedies, or any combination thereof, which may be available to Bank of America, since it is the intent and purpose of Guarantor that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder are absolute. Guarantor irrevocably waives all rights and any defenses arising out of any such election of remedies by Bank of America, even though such election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for an Obligation, operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of Guarantor against Seller or any guarantor of the Obligations or any security.

 

(e) Waiver of Defenses . To the fullest extent permitted by law, Guarantor irrevocably waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of Seller other than payment in full of the Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense based upon or arising out of the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of Seller other than payment in full of the Obligations.

 

(f) Waiver of Termination . Guarantor irrevocably waives any right it has to terminate or revoke the continuing nature of this Guaranty and its application to any Obligations.

 

(g) Waiver of Certain Statutory Rights . Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by Seller or other circumstance that operate to toll any statute of limitations as to Seller shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to Guarantor.

 

 
 

 

(h) Subordination if Any Waiver is Invalid or Void . Guarantor further agrees that to the extent that any waiver of the rights described in this Guaranty is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, invalid, void or voidable for any reason, any rights that Guarantor may have against Seller or against any collateral (including, without limitation, the Purchased Assets) or security, and any rights Guarantor may have against any guarantor of all or some of the Obligations, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights that Bank of America may have against Seller, any collateral (including, without limitation, the Purchased Assets) or security or any other guarantor of all or some of the Obligations, and no such rights shall be exercised by Guarantor until such time as Bank of America shall have received indefeasible payment of the full amount of all Obligations and any obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty.

 

7. Subordination of Debt and Obligations; Receipt of Payments . Any indebtedness or obligations of (i) Seller to Guarantor or (ii) any guarantor of all or some of the Obligations to Guarantor, now or hereafter existing, is hereby subordinated to the obligations of Seller to Bank of America. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Repurchase Agreement and for as long as such event is occurring, Guarantor agrees that, until the Obligations have been fully satisfied, it will not seek, accept or retain for its own accounts, any payment from Seller or any such guarantor on account of such subordinated debt.

(b) Release of Liability . The liability of Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guarantee of the Obligations, whether executed by Guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of Guarantor hereunder is not affected, impaired or released by (i) any direction of application of payment by Seller or by any other party; (ii) any other guarantee, undertaking or maximum liability of Guarantor or of any other party as to the Obligations; (iii) any payment on or in reduction of any other guarantor of all or some of the Obligations; (iv) any revocation or release of any obligations of any other guarantor of all or some of the Obligations; (v) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel of Seller; (vi) any payment made to Bank of America on the Obligations that is required to be repaid to Seller pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and Guarantor waives any right to the deferral or modification of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding; (vii) any acceptance by Bank of America of any security or collateral for, or other guarantors or obligors upon, any Obligation; (viii) any change, modification or amendment of the Repurchase Agreement; (ix) any failure, neglect or omission to perfect, protect, secure or insure any of the foregoing security interests, liens or encumbrances or the properties, or interest in properties, subject thereto; (x) an increase in the individual or aggregate transaction limits in excess of the amounts initially set forth in the Repurchase Agreement; (xi) any change in Seller’s name or legal structure or the merger of Seller into another legal entity or (xii) any act or omission of any kind or at any time upon the part of Bank of America with respect to any matter whatsoever, other than the execution and delivery by Bank of America to Guarantor of an express written release or cancellation of this Guaranty.
