Procedure for Termination The party designated in Section 4.03 of the Trust Agreement shall advise the Securities Administrator in writing of its election to cause a Terminating Purchase, no later than the Distribution Date in the month preceding the Distribution Date on which the Terminating Purchase will occur. Notice of the Distribution Date on which any such termination shall occur (or the Distribution Date on which final payment or other Liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust or the disposition of the last REO Property remaining in the Trust will be distributed to Certificateholders, as reflected in the Remittance Report for such month (the “Final Distribution Date”) shall be given promptly by the Securities Administrator by letter to Certificateholders mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in connection with a Terminating Purchase, not earlier than the 15th day of the month preceding such final distribution and not later than the 5th day of the month of such final distribution or (b) otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the Servicing Remittance Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Final Distribution Date and that final payment of the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office of the Securities Administrator therein designated on that date, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Final Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Securities Administrator. The Securities Administrator shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. In the event such notice is given in connection with a Terminating Purchase, the purchaser shall deliver to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Certificate Account on the Business Day immediately preceding the Final Distribution Date an amount in next day funds equal to the Termination Price, as the case may be. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates on a Distribution Date by Certificateholders, the Securities Administrator shall distribute to Certificateholders (A) the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date, if not in connection with Terminating Purchase, or (B) if in connection with a Terminating Purchase, an amount determined as follows: with respect to each Certificate with an outstanding Certificate Balance, the outstanding Certificate Balance thereof, plus interest thereon through the Accounting Date preceding the Distribution Date fixed for termination and any previously unpaid interest, net of unrealized losses, Realized Interest Shortfall and Shortfall with respect thereto; and in addition, with respect to each Residual Certificate, the Percentage Interest evidenced thereby multiplied by the difference between the Termination Price and the aggregate amount to be distributed as provided in the first clause of this sentence and the next succeeding sentence. Upon the deposit of the Termination Price in the Certificate Account, the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, and any Custodian acting as its agent, shall promptly release to the purchaser the Trustee Mortgage Loan Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments without recourse necessary to effectuate such transfer. The Trust shall terminate immediately following the deposit of funds in the Termination Account as provided below. In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates within six months after the Final Distribution Date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Securities Administrator shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates and receive the final distribution with respect thereto, net of the cost of such second notice. If within one year after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the amounts otherwise payable on such Certificates. Any funds payable to Certificateholders that are not distributed on the Final Distribution Date shall be deposited in a Termination Account, which shall be an Eligible Account, to be held for the benefit of Certificateholders not presenting and surrendering their Certificates in the aforesaid manner, and shall be disposed of in accordance with this Section. The Securities Administrator shall establish the Termination Accounts, which shall be Eligible Accounts, on or about the Closing Date.

The right of exercise provided herein shall be cumulative so that if this option is not exercised to the maximum extent permissible during any such period it shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, with respect to all shares not so purchased at any time during any subsequent period prior to the expiration or termination of this option. This option may not be exercised at any time after the tenth anniversary date.
(b) Subject to the conditions hereof, this option shall be exercisable by the Participant giving written notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the number of shares to be purchased and the purchase price to be paid therefor and accompanied by payment in accordance with Section 4 hereof. Such exercise shall be effective upon receipt by the Treasurer of the Company of the written notice together with the required payment. The Participant shall be entitled to purchase less than the number of shares covered hereby, provided that no partial exercise of this option shall be for less than 10 whole shares.
(c) Except as provided in Section 3(f) below, if the Participant’s [director of] [employment with] with the Company [or one of its subsidiaries] terminates for any reason, other than retirement, change of control, total disability or death, this option shall immediately terminate; provided, however, that any portion of this option which was otherwise exercisable on the date of such termination of [directorship] [employment] may be exercised within the three-month period following the date of termination, but in no event after the tenth anniversary date. If the Participant dies during such three-month period, any portion of this option that was exercisable by the Participant on the date of his or her death shall be exercisable by the Participant’s personal representatives, heirs or legatees for the remainder of such three-month period.
(d) If the Participant dies while [a director] [an employee or otherwise in the service of the Company or any subsidiary] of the Company, any portion of this option that was exercisable by the Participant on the date of death shall be exercisable by the Participant’s personal representatives, heirs or legatees until the tenth anniversary date.
(e) In the event the Participant’s [services as a director of] [employment with] the Company [or one of its subsidiaries] terminates by reason of the Participant’s (i) retirement or (ii) total disability, any portion of this option that was exercisable by the Participant on the date of such termination shall be exercisable by the Participant at any time prior to the tenth anniversary date. If the Participant dies before the tenth anniversary date, this option shall be exercisable by the Participant’s personal representatives, heirs or legatees until the tenth anniversary date, to the same extent that the Participant could have exercised this option on the date of his or her death. For purposes of this Section 3(e), “retirement” shall mean the Participant’s voluntary termination of [membership on the Board of Directors either (i)] [employment with the Company or any subsidiary of the Company] at age 62 or above and after a minimum of five years of service as an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries [or (ii) after a minimum of nine years of service as a director of the Company], and “total disability” shall mean a disability which, in the reasonable opinion of the Board of Directors, renders the Participant unable or incompetent to carry out the Participant’s duties, responsibilities and assignments for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days.
(f) In the event of the Participant’s voluntary termination of [membership on the Board of Directors] [employment with the Company or any subsidiary] of the Company, other than as a result of retirement or total disability, the Board of Directors may, by giving written notice to the Participant, provide that any portion of this option that was otherwise exercisable on the date of termination of the Participant’s [directorship] [employment] may be exercised within a one year period following the date on which the Participant ceased to be [a director] [so employed] as set forth in written notice to the Participant, but in no event after the tenth anniversary date. If the Participant dies during such period, this option shall be exercisable by the Participant’s personal representatives, heirs or legatees, to the same extent that the Participant could have exercised this option on the date of his or her death. This option or any unexercised portion hereof shall terminate unless so exercised prior to the expiration of ten years from the date of its grant. [Employees only — In the event that a Participant ceases to be employed by the Company or a Company subsidiary, incurring a termination of employment, and immediately is engaged by the Company or a Company subsidiary as a consultant, any portion of this option that was not exercisable by the Participant on the date of such termination shall immediately terminate on the date of the termination of employment and any portion of this option that was exercisable by the Participant on the date of such termination shall remain exercisable until the date determined under Section 3(c), (d), (e) or (g) hereof, as if the Participant did not incur a termination of employment until the Participant ceases to be a consultant.]
(g) [Employee only — In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company or one of the Company’s subsidiaries terminates by reason of a change of control, any portion of this option that was exercisable by the Participant on the date of such change of control shall be exercisable by the Participant at any time until the date one year after such change of control, but in no event after the tenth anniversary date. If the Participant dies during such one-year period, this option shall be exercisable by the Participant’s personal representatives, heirs or legatees for the remainder of the one-year period, to the same extent that the Participant could have exercised this option on the date of his or her death. The Participant’s employment will have terminated by reason of the change of control if (i) the Participant continues to be engaged as an employee or consultant with a Company subsidiary after the Company ceases to have effective voting control of such subsidiary, or (ii) the Participant ceases to be employed or engaged as a consultant by the Company or a Company subsidiary in connection with the sale or other disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the assets of a component of the Company or a Company subsidiary, whether such component is a subsidiary, unit, work location, line of business or otherwise. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether a Participant’s termination of employment is by reason of a change of control.] [Director only — In the event of a change in control of the Company, and the Participant is removed as a director of the Company in connection with the change in control, any portion of this option that was otherwise exercisable on the date of the Participant’s removal shall be exercisable by the Participant at any time until the first anniversary of such change in control, but in no event after the tenth anniversary date. If the Participant dies during such one-year period, this option shall be exercisable by the Participant’s personal representatives, heirs or legatees for the remainder of the one-year period or the tenth anniversary date, if earlier. For purposes of this Section 3(g), a “change in control” of the Company shall be deemed to have taken place if: (i) a third person, including a “person” as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election of the directors of the Company; or (ii) as the result of, or in connection with, any tender or exchange offer, merger, consolidation or other business combination, sale of assets or one or more contested elections, or any combination of the foregoing transactions (a “Transaction”) the persons who were directors of the Company immediately prior to the Transaction shall cease to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company or of any successor to the Company.]
(h) For purposes of this Agreement, the Participant shall be deemed to have a terminated employment or incurred a termination of employment upon (i) the date the Participant ceases to be employed by, or to provide consulting services for, the Company, any Company subsidiary, or any corporation (or any of its subsidiaries) which assumes the Participant’s award in a transaction to which section 424(a) of the Code applies; or (ii) the date the Participant ceases to be a Board member, provided, however, that if the Participant (x), at the time of reference, is both an employee or consultant and a Board member, or (y) ceases to be engaged as an employee, consultant or Board member and immediately is engaged in another of such relationships with the Company or any Company subsidiary (other than an employee who becomes a consultant), the Participant shall not be deemed to have a “termination of employment” until the last of the dates determined pursuant to subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above. The Committee, in its discretion, may determine whether any leave of absence constitutes a termination of employment for purposes of this Agreement and the impact, if any, of any such leave of absence on this option.
Other Termination Events Subject to Section 5.3(b), this Agreement shall terminate with respect to all Parties upon the earliest to occur of (a) a written agreement among the Parties to terminate this Agreement, (b) the Closing and (c) termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.1 by written notice.

(c) If any representation or warranty of the Servicer, in its capacity as Servicer, made in this Agreement shall prove to be incorrect in any material respect as of the time when the same shall have been made and the incorrectness of such representation or warranty has a material adverse effect on the Issuer or the Noteholders and such failure continues unremedied for 90 days after discovery thereof by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer or receipt by the Servicer of written notice thereof from the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders representing not less than 50% of the Outstanding Amounts of the Notes; or
(d) The occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Servicer; provided, however, that a delay or failure of performance referred to under clause (a) above for a period of 10 days or clause (b) or (c) above for a period of 30 days will not constitute a Servicer Termination Event if such delay or failure was caused by force majeure or other similar occurrence.

No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Administrator Termination Event or impair any right consequent thereon.
