2. Delivery of Files to the Custodian.
2.1. Reaffirmation of Administrative Agent’s Lien.

In the event of such a recharacterization of the Current Repurchase Agreement, the Seller hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, and reaffirms the continuing first priority Lien granted by the Seller to the
-5-
Administrative Agent in the Current Repurchase Agreement, in and against (i) all Purchased Loans now or hereafter sold by the Seller to the Buyers, delivered or caused to be delivered by the Seller to the Custodian or the Administrative Agent or in any other way or manner identified to the Administrative Agent or the Custodian as Purchased Loans, (ii) all Purchased Loans Support and Files and other Purchased Loan Papers now or hereafter delivered to the Custodian or to any other agent, bailee or designee of the Administrative Agent or the Custodian and (iii) the proceeds thereof. The parties agree that the Lien granted and reaffirmed herein shall continue and remain perfected with its first priority under the provisions of the applicable UCC, real estate law or other applicable Law, notwithstanding that the Custodian may deliver one or more of the Loan Papers or other papers evidencing or relating to any such Purchased Loan to the Seller (or to its servicer, subservicer or designee) for the purpose of (x) correcting or completing such papers or the related File or (y) collecting or other servicing or handling of such Purchased Loan, as provided herein.
2.2. Delivery.
(a) Wet Loans. Submissions of Wet Loans for purchase by the Buyers shall be made by electronic transmission of a Mortgage Loan Transmission File listing such Wet Loans, by the deadline therefor specified in the Current Repurchase Agreement.
(b) Conversion of Wet Loans to Dry Loans. Concurrently with physical delivery to the Custodian of the Basic Papers to convert Wet Loans previously submitted into Dry Loans, the Seller shall deliver to the Custodian (by either mail or courier) a submission list listing each Mortgage Loan being converted.
(c) Dry Loans Initially Submitted as Such. Submissions to the Custodian for inclusion in the Purchased Loans of Dry Loans that were not previously submitted as Wet Loans shall be made by electronic transmission of a Mortgage Loan Transmission File listing such Dry Loans, and concurrent physical delivery to the Custodian of a submission list and the Basic Papers for such Dry Loans by no later than 10:30 AM (Minneapolis time) on the Business Day such Dry Loans are to be first included as Purchased Loans.
(d) File Folders. The Seller shall place all Basic Papers delivered to the Custodian in an appropriate file folder and in a logical order, properly secured, and clearly marked with the Customer’s last name and the Loan Number. The Seller shall not deliver to the Custodian, nor shall the Custodian be required to assume, or deemed to have assumed, custody of the File for any Purchased Loan that does not contain all of the Basic Papers. If such an incomplete File is delivered to the Custodian, within one Business Day following examination of such File within the applicable time frame specified in Section 3.1, the Custodian shall notify the Seller that the Custodian is retaining the File pending the Custodian’s receipt of the missing Basic Papers (although the related Purchased Loan shall have zero Purchase Value until all Basic Papers are so received except to the extent (if any) that the Administrative Agent exercises its discretionary authority under the Current Repurchase Agreement to count and treat such Purchased Loan as having Purchase Value.) The Basic Papers required to be included in each File shall consist of all documents listed on Exhibit C.
-6-
2.3. Follow-up by the Seller. The Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian as soon as they are available and without any requirement for the Custodian to request them, and in any case promptly following any Custodian’s request therefor, originals of all Basic Papers, and of any Supplemental Papers that the Custodian has theretofore required, when copies, commitments or preliminary reports were initially submitted, except for Appraisal Reports, originals of which shall not be delivered unless the Custodian shall specifically request them on a case-by-case basis as provided for in Section 2.4. Any such trailing documents shall be submitted under cover of a form substantially similar to Exhibit G.
2.4. Supplemental Papers. Although the Supplemental Papers are not required to be submitted to the Custodian unless requested, by submitting any Single-family Mortgage Loan to the Custodian, the Seller shall be deemed to represent to the Custodian and the Buyers that (i) the Seller, or (if the Seller is not the Servicer) the related Mortgage Loan’s Servicer, has possession of the Supplemental Papers for each Purchased Loan, has no claim, title or ownership interest in them, shall hold them in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Buyers and shall deliver them (or such of them as the Administrative Agent or the Custodian shall from time to time request) to the Custodian promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s or the Custodian’s request and (ii) each Supplemental Paper meets the standards and requirements of all relevant definitions and provisions of the Current Repurchase Agreement and this Custody Agreement.
3. Custodian’s Receipt, Examination and Prior Certification of Files.
3.1. Custodian’s Examination of Basic Papers. The Custodian will examine Files submitted to it by the Seller in accordance with the following schedule:
If the number of Files received by the Custodian by 10:30 AM on a Business Day is |
then the Custodian will examine them | |
100 or fewer files | by the next Business Day | |
more than 100 files | by one additional Business | |
Day for each additional 100 | ||
files increment |
to confirm that the Basic Papers in such File appear on their faces to satisfy the following relevant requirements without obvious defect (the Custodian shall not be required to make any independent examination of any Purchased Loans beyond the review specifically required hereby and such examination responsibilities do not extend to any Supplemental Papers or any other papers contained in any File):
(a) each Mortgage Note and Mortgage in the File bears an original signature or signatures purporting to be the signature or signatures of the Person or Persons named as the maker and mortgagor or grantor under such Mortgage Note and Mortgage or, if a Certified Copy of the Mortgage is submitted, that such Certified Copy bears what appears to be a reproduction of such signature or signatures.
-7-
(b) the Mortgage Note in the File bears an endorsement by the named holder or payee endorsing such Mortgage Note in blank, with an original signature that purports to be the signature of an Authorized Seller Representative (although the Custodian shall have no obligation to determine whether the certificate was authorized or issued by any particular person or officer or by a person who in fact is an Authorized Seller Representative, or otherwise is authentic).
(c) any power of attorney in the File bears an original signature purporting to be the signature of the maker of the Mortgage Note and the mortgagor or grantor of the Mortgage or if a Certified Copy of the power of attorney is submitted, that such Certified Copy bears what appears to be a reproduction of such signature.
(d) the original of the Mortgage Assignment in blank in the File bears an original signature that purports to be the signature of an Authorized Seller Representative (although the Custodian shall have no obligation to determine whether the certificate was authorized or issued by any particular person or officer or by a person who in fact is an Authorized Seller Representative, or otherwise is authentic); provided that if the Electronic Tracking Agreement has been duly entered into, no Mortgage Assignment is required for any Mortgage Loan that has been originated in the name of MERS and registered under the MERS® System with U.S. Bank as Interim Funder.
(e) the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Transmission File for such File appears to be correct (insofar as the accuracy of such information can be reasonably determined from an examination of the File delivered to the Custodian).
(f) the original principal amount of the note described in the Mortgage in the File as being secured by such Mortgage matches the original principal amount of the Mortgage Note in the File.
(g) each document for which a Certified Copy is submitted as permitted under a relevant provision of Exhibit C appears to be a Certified Copy (although the Custodian shall have no obligation to determine whether the certification was authorized or issued by any particular person or officer or otherwise is authentic or complies with the provisions of the definition of “Certified Copy”).
3.2. When Wet Loans’ Basic Papers Are Submitted. When the Basic Papers for a Purchased Loan that was initially purchased as a Wet Loan are delivered on any Business Day, the Custodian, in its sole discretion, may include that Purchased Loan in the calculation of the Purchase Value of the Purchased Loans on that Business Day before reviewing the Basic Papers on the assumption that such Purchased Loan is an Eligible Loan; provided that such Basic Papers must be reviewed in accordance with Section 3.1 before seven Business Days have expired after the Purchased Loan has been purchased (but if such Basic Papers are delivered on the last of such seven Business Days, such Basic Papers may be reviewed in accordance herewith on the next succeeding Business Day following such delivery); provided further that if the Custodian reasonably determines from its initial review of such Basic Papers that they are incomplete or incorrect and that such condition of incompleteness or incorrectness is correctable and returns the subject Basic Papers to the Seller for corrective action under a Trust Receipt in the form of
-8-
Exhibit E, then the affected Purchased Loan(s) shall not be required to be repurchased by the Seller unless and until the Seller fails to correct and return such Basic Papers to the Custodian within 19 calendar days after the Custodian so returned them to the Seller. If following such review the related Purchased Loan appears on a Custodian’s Exception Report, then such Purchased Loan shall be excluded from any determination of Purchase Value until such Purchased Loan has been removed from the Custodian’s Exception Report and all Basic Papers for such Purchased Loan are in the possession of the Custodian.
3.3. Limited Scope of Examination of Supplemental Papers. If after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, the Seller is requested to deliver any Supplemental Papers to the Custodian with respect to any Purchased Loan, the Custodian shall receive and file such Supplemental Papers but shall not be required to review any such documents other than to determine that such documents appear on their face to be the documents required to be delivered.
3.4. Submission List Errors or Omissions. If the Custodian discovers errors or omissions in any submission list, it may either correct them itself or request that the Seller correct them (and the Seller agrees hereby promptly to do so).
3.5. Custodian’s Exception Reports. When the Custodian has completed its review pursuant to Section 3.1 of Files delivered to it, the Custodian will issue to the Seller a Custodian’s Exception Report for such Files that it discovers contain errors or omissions either by fax or electronically, in each case within one Business Day after the Custodian’s review of the Files except during high volume periods (such as at the end of each month) when issuance of Custodian’s Exception Reports for Files received will ordinarily be provided within five Business Days following their examination within the applicable time frame specified in Section 3.1. The Custodian shall provide Custodian’s Exceptions Reports to the Buyers upon request.
3.6. Custodian’s Exception Report Loans Ordinarily Not Included in Purchase Value Calculation. The Purchased Loans on the Custodian’s Exception Report and Purchased Loans whose Basic Papers are returned to the Seller for correction or completion pursuant to the second proviso of the first sentence of Section 3.2, shall not be included by the Administrative Agent in any calculation of Purchase Value after the related Purchase, until all such exceptions relating to it are cured except to the extent (if any) that the Administrative Agent exercises its discretionary authority, if any, under the Current Repurchase Agreement to count and include such Purchased Loans in the calculation of Purchase Value.
3.7. Correction of Exceptions. The Custodian may ship Mortgage Notes listed in its Exceptions Report to the Seller for correction under a Trust Receipt. Upon correction or completion of any such Mortgage Note and the Custodian’s receipt of the corrected Mortgage Note or File with all corrected or completed Basic Papers in it in the case of other Loan Papers that have been corrected pursuant to the Custodian’s Exception Report, unless the Custodian has current actual knowledge that the relevant Purchased Loan has been liquidated or is the subject of another uncured Disqualifier, the Custodian shall remove the listing of that Purchased Loan from its next Custodian’s Exception Report.
-9-
3.8. Possession of Files. All Purchased Loan Files at any time delivered to the Custodian hereunder shall be held by the Custodian in a fire resistant vault, drawer or other suitable depository maintained and controlled solely by the Custodian, in a manner customarily used by institutional mortgage documents custodians and not commingled with any other assets or property of, or held by, the Custodian for others. The Custodian shall also make appropriate notations in the Custodian’s books and records to reflect that the File has been purchased by the Buyers, and the Buyers own such File.
3.9. Papers Previously Certified by the Custodian. If Mortgage Loans are purchased from a seller for which U.S. Bank was documents custodian for the Purchased Loans sold, U.S. Bank makes no warranty as to the condition of the Files, the completeness, accuracy or any other characteristics of the Files or the circumstances or documentation under which the Purchased Loans were previously certified, other than as set forth in this Custody Agreement. No previous certification by U.S. Bank to or for any other Person or entity will be construed to benefit any party to this Custody Agreement or anyone claiming by, through or under any such party; provided that nothing herein shall be construed to relieve U.S. Bank of any direct obligation under any other agreement between U.S. Bank and any third party.
4. Release of Files by the Custodian.
4.1. Shipping Direction. The Seller may from time to time direct the Custodian to ship any of the Purchased Loans as set forth in this Section 4.1, and unless a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Custodian shall do so (and will do so at the direction of the Administrative Agent even if a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing); provided that if the Custodian disagrees with any information set forth in any Shipping Request (for sales or transfers) received, the Custodian may correct it with notice to the Seller, or require that the Seller correct it as a condition to the Custodian’s processing such Shipping Request.
4.2. Shipping Purchased Loans. The Seller may direct the Custodian to ship any of the Purchased Loans (i) that the Seller intends to sell as whole loans to an Approved Investor for reasonably equivalent value in a bona fide transaction (including sales of Purchased Loans under a repurchase agreement for financing purposes) or (ii) to a custodian or trustee for an Approved Investor for pooling and securitization as MBS and sale of such securities to an underwriter or other third party, by delivering a Shipping Request identifying (a) the Purchased Loans to be so shipped and sold, (b) the name, address, and contact information (including contact name, phone number and fax number) of the custodian/trustee of Approved Investor and/or Approved Investor, (c) the name, if any, with which the Custodian is to complete the Mortgage Notes’ endorsement in blank before shipping them, (d) the courier to use and the Seller’s account number to be charged and (e) the scheduled closing date and for securitizations, the date when the Seller expects the proceeds of the sale of the MBS created will be wired to the Administrative Agent. If such closing date is subsequently changed, the Seller will give the Custodian prompt notice thereof.
4.3. Repurchases. If the Seller elects to repurchase any Purchased Loans, the Seller shall deliver a Repurchase Request to the Administrative Agent and the Custodian stating the scheduled repurchase date and identifying those Purchased Loans, whereupon the Custodian
-10-
shall release and return such Files to the Seller if (and only if) both (i) the Seller shall have paid the Repurchase Price therefor to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Current Repurchase Agreement (unless such Repurchase Price is deducted from any Margin Excess) and (ii) (unless the Administrative Agent in its discretion shall elect to allow such repurchase notwithstanding the existence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 18.9 of the Current Repurchase Agreement) no Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing. If the Custodian disagrees with any information set forth in any Repurchase Request received, the Custodian may require that the Seller correct it as a condition to the Custodian’s processing it. Before the Custodian transfers the Purchased Loans so designated, the Seller will deposit in the Settlement Account a cash amount equal to the sum of the Repurchase Prices for the Purchased Loans being repurchased (except to the extent the same is to be deducted from any Margin Excess), determined without regard to any Disqualifier that may be applicable. The Administrative Agent’s determination of the Repurchase Price for each such Purchased Loan, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive. Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds in the Settlement Account (or its deduction from any Margin Excess) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing (unless the Administrative Agent has exercised its discretion to allow such repurchase notwithstanding the existence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 18.9 of the Current Repurchase Agreement), all claims, rights, liens and security interests of the Administrative Agent, however arising, in and to the Purchased Loans that were so listed in the Repurchase Request, shipped by the Custodian and for which the Administrative Agent was so paid pursuant to this Section 4.3, shall terminate and be released. The Administrative Agent will notify the Custodian in writing that Administrative Agent has received the full Repurchase Price and shall so instruct the Custodian to release the related Purchased Loans and the Custodian shall do so.
4.4. Shipping Schedule. If the number of Files to be shipped pursuant to any one or more of the foregoing provisions of this Section 4 is 150 or less and the Shipping Request is received by 10:30 AM (Minneapolis time) on a Business Day, the Custodian will use its best efforts to ship the Files on that same Business Day. If more than 150 files are to be shipped or the Shipping Request is received later than 10:30 AM (but not later than 2:00 PM) on a Business Day, the Custodian will use its best efforts to ship them on the next Business Day, unless more than 250 Files are to be shipped, in which event one additional Business Day shall be added for each increment of 200 files in excess of 250 files to be shipped, limited to a maximum of 10 Business Days.
4.5. Minimum Face Amount of MBS. Any new MBS delivered to an Approved MBS Custodian pursuant to Section 4.3 shall be in a face amount of not less than the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchased Loans so delivered in exchange for such new MBS.
4.6. Shipment of Files. Upon receipt of a Shipping Request and such other required documents and information, the Custodian shall ship such Files (or such of the Basic Papers therefrom as the relevant Approved Investor requires) under cover of either (i) a Bailee Letter in substantially the form of the Bailee Letter attached as Exhibit A (the Custodian may make changes to such forms from time to time at its election) or (ii) such form as may be required under any Agency program pursuant to which the relevant Files are being shipped.
-11-
4.7. Payment of Proceeds of Whole Loans and MBS Sold. Upon purchase by an Approved Investor of Purchased Loans to be sold as Whole Loans or, in the case of Purchased Loans to be securitized as MBS, upon the sale of the resulting securities to their underwriter or purchaser, the Seller will:
(a) cause the purchasing Approved Investor to wire to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds for deposit in the Settlement Account, all proceeds of such sale of Whole Loans or MBS to which the Seller is entitled; and
(b) deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the Settlement Account such additional funds, if any, as are needed to cause the total amount so deposited in respect of the Purchased Loans shipped to at least equal the aggregate Repurchases Prices of all such Purchased Loans shipped, and the Administrative Agent’s determination of such amounts for each Purchased Loan shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds in the Settlement Account, all claims, rights, liens and security interests of the Administrative Agent and the Buyers, however arising, in and to the Purchased Loans that were so listed in the Shipping Request, shipped by the Custodian and for which the Administrative Agent was so paid pursuant to Section 4.7(a) and (b) shall terminate and be released.
4.8. If U.S. Bank is Custodian for the Approved Investor. It is understood that U.S. Bank may also function as an agent, representative, bailee and/or document custodian for any Approved Investor to whom (or whose designee) the Seller may request that Purchased Loans be shipped, in which event the Custodian will segregate from other Purchased Loans’ Files, but will not physically deliver, the affected Files, but may instead issue its trust receipt or custodian’s receipt to such Approved Investor acknowledging when it is appropriate to do so that the Custodian is holding the affected Files exclusively for such Approved Investor. The trust receipt or custodian’s receipt may be in the form of either a written or electronic receipt in favor of the Approved Investor.
4.9. Custodian Not Responsible to Obtain Acknowledgement or Confirm Status. In no event shall the Custodian have any obligation to (i) obtain written acknowledgement of receipt from the addressee of any Bailee Letter or other communication sent by the Custodian hereunder or (ii) confirm the status as an Approved Investor of any Person to which it has been instructed to deliver Mortgage Loans or MBS as long as such Person is listed on Schedule AI to the Current Repurchase Agreement in the form most recently provided to the Custodian by the Administrative Agent.
4.10. Shipment of Files or Loan Papers to the Seller. From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing of any of the Purchased Loans, the Custodian may release to the Seller the Files or the Loan Papers under a Trust Receipt in the form of Exhibit E. The Seller hereby acknowledges that pursuant to such Trust Receipt the Seller holds the Loan Papers returned to the Seller in trust for the Administrative Agent (as agent and representative of the Buyers) and that the Buyers shall continue to be the owners of the Purchased Loans and the related Files pursuant to the Current Repurchase Agreement and the Seller shall not dispute the Buyers’ ownership thereof pursuant to the Current Repurchase Agreement. The Seller shall
-12-
promptly return to the Custodian the File or such Loan Papers (whichever the case may be) when the Seller’s need therefor in connection with such servicing no longer exists (but not later in any case, without the Custodian’s consent, than 19 calendar days after the Custodian shipped them), unless the Purchased Loan shall be liquidated and the proceeds thereof paid to the Administrative Agent for deposit to the Settlement Account (or deducted from any Margin Excess) in satisfaction of the Repurchase Price, with any excess to be paid over to the Seller unless a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case the balance of such proceeds shall be retained in the Settlement Account for application to the Obligations. This provision respecting release to the Seller of Files and Loan Papers by the Custodian shall be operative only to the extent that at any time the Custodian shall not have released to the Seller Files or Loan Papers pertaining to more than (i) the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price from time to time, or (ii) $10,000,000 in principal of Purchased Loans, whichever is less.
4.11. Release and Indemnification. The Custodian shall not be liable for executing, failing to execute, or for any mistake in the execution of, such request or instructions in connection with the certification, release or shipment of any Loan Papers, except in the case of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Custodian. Seller hereby releases and agrees, to indemnify, pay, defend and hold harmless the Custodian and each of its officers, directors, employees or agents (the “Indemnified Custodian Parties”) from and against any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) of any kind whatsoever which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against any of the Indemnified Custodian Parties in any way relating to or arising out of this Custody Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, whether from the discretionary or nondiscretionary acts or omissions of any of the Indemnified Custodian Parties or any other Person, in whole or in part arising out of any act or omission of any of the Indemnified Custodian Parties and based on any claim or theory of strict liability, or sole, comparative or contributory negligence, except for a particular Indemnified Custodian Party’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The foregoing indemnification shall survive the termination or assignment of this Custody Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Custodian hereunder. It is the Seller’s intention to hereby indemnify the Indemnified Custodian Parties against their own sole or concurrent ordinary negligence to the fullest extent allowed by law.
5. Right of Inspection by Buyers and the Seller.
Upon at least five Business Days’ written notice to the Custodian, the Buyers, the Seller or the Authorized Seller Representatives, may at any time, during ordinary business hours, inspect and examine the Files in the possession and custody of the Custodian at such place or places where such Files are deposited.
6. Custodian’s Fees.
The Seller promises to pay the fees of the Custodian accrued under this Custody Agreement pursuant to a separate arrangement between them, subject to adjustment annually, or more frequently if and as the Custodian and the Seller may agree from time to time.
-13-
7. Termination of Agreement.
This Custody Agreement shall become effective on and as of the date hereof and shall terminate upon the Custodian’s receipt of written notice of termination signed by all of the Buyers, determined for purposes of this Section 7 as excluding the Person serving as the Administrative Agent, and delivery of all Files then held by the Custodian to a successor custodian or, if authorized in writing by the Administrative Agent, to the Seller or its designee. Notwithstanding any such termination, the Buyers’ ownership interest in the Purchased Loans and their proceeds shall continue in effect until all Obligations of the Seller to the Buyers and the Administrative Agent have been paid and satisfied in full. The termination of this Custody Agreement shall not operate to remove U.S. Bank as Administrative Agent for purposes of the Current Repurchase Agreement.
8. Resignation or Removal of Custodian.
8.1. Qualifications of Custodian. The Administrative Agent shall be the Custodian, unless the Administrative Agent shall resign as Custodian (which does not necessarily obligate the Administrative Agent to resign as Administrative Agent, the two roles may be bifurcated). The Custodian shall satisfy the same qualifications as is required of the Administrative Agent according to the terms of the Current Repurchase Agreement and shall at all times be a commercial bank or trust company organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any state, district or territory of it authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and unimpaired surplus of at least $100,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal, state, district or territorial Governmental Authority. If such commercial bank or trust company publishes reports of conditions at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examination Governmental Authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.1, the combined capital and unimpaired surplus of such commercial bank or trust company shall be deemed to be its combined capital and unimpaired surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case the Custodian shall cease at any time to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.1, the Custodian shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Section 8.
8.2. Resignation of the Custodian or any Successor Custodian. The Custodian or any successor hereafter appointed may resign at any time by giving written notice of resignation to the Seller, the Administrative Agent and the Buyers and complying with the applicable provisions of this Section 8. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, with the Seller’s consent, which consent shall not unreasonably be delayed or withheld (provided that the Seller’s consent shall not be required if a Default has occurred that has not been cured by the Seller or declared in writing by the Administrative Agent to have been waived or any Event of Default has occurred that the Administrative Agent has not declared in writing to have been cured or waived), a successor Custodian shall be promptly appointed by the Required Buyers, or, if the Required Buyers fail to do so on or before 60 days have elapsed after notice to the Seller, the Administrative Agent and the Buyers of the Custodian’s election to resign, by the Administrative Agent, by written instrument, in quadruplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Custodian, one copy to the Administrative Agent, one copy to the Seller and one copy to the successor Custodian.
-14-
8.3. Removal of the Custodian or any Successor Custodian. If (a) the Custodian or any successor shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.1 and shall fail to resign after written request by the Required Buyers; (b) a receiver of the Custodian (or such successor) or of its property shall be appointed or any Governmental Authority shall take charge or control of Custodian (or such successor) or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation or (c) the Custodian (or such successor) shall be grossly negligent in the performance of its material duties and obligations under this Custody Agreement or engage in willful misconduct concerning any such material duties and obligations, then, in any such case, upon the consent of the Required Buyers, excluding for purposes of this Section 8.3 any Buyer who is then the custodian hereunder, and the Seller (provided that the Seller’s consent shall not be required if a Default has occurred that has not been cured by the Seller or declared in writing by the Administrative Agent to have been waived or any Event of Default has occurred that the Administrative Agent has not declared in writing to have been cured or waived), the Custodian (or such successor) may be removed and a successor custodian appointed by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which shall be delivered to the custodian so removed, one copy to the Administrative Agent and one copy to the successor custodian.
8.4. Effective Date of Resignation or Removal. No resignation or removal of the Custodian or any successor as custodian of the Loan Papers shall be effective until a successor Custodian is appointed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8 and has accepted the appointment as provided in this Section 8; provided that if such appointment has not been so made or if the Custodian’s duties have not been assumed by the appointed successor on or before 90 days after the date of the Custodian’s said notice of resignation, the Custodian may deliver the Files then in its possession to the Administrative Agent at no cost to the Seller and cease acting as Custodian hereunder, and shall have no further responsibility therefor, at the close of business on the tenth Business Day after such 90-day period. The Custodian or any successor hereafter appointed shall continue to act as custodian under this Custody Agreement until it delivers the Files to a duly appointed successor, or to the Administrative Agent under the circumstances last above described.
8.5. Successor. Any successor Custodian appointed as provided in this Section 8 shall execute and deliver to the Buyers, the Administrative Agent and the Seller and to the Administrative Agent’s predecessor Custodian an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Custodian shall become effective and such successor Custodian, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights and obligations of its predecessor, with like effect as if originally named as the Custodian and shall assume all the duties and obligations in this Custody Agreement as Custodian (but not the duties and obligations of the Administrative Agent under the Current Repurchase Agreement unless the successor Custodian is also a successor Administrative Agent); provided that upon the written request of the Seller, the Required Buyers or the successor Custodian, the Custodian ceasing to act shall execute and deliver (a) an instrument transferring to such successor Custodian all of the rights of the Custodian so ceasing to act and (b) to such successor Custodian such instruments as are necessary to transfer all Loan Papers then in the hands of the Custodian to such successor Custodian (including endorsements in blank and assignments in blank of all such Mortgage Notes and Mortgages that are not already endorsed or assigned in blank). Upon the request of any such successor Custodian made from
-15-
time to time, the Seller shall execute any and all papers which the successor Custodian shall reasonably request or require to more fully and certainly vest in and confirm to such successor Custodian all such rights. No successor Custodian shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.5 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Custodian shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.1.
8.6. Merger of the Custodian or any Successor Custodian. Any Person into which the Custodian or any successor custodian may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person surviving or resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Custodian or successor custodian shall be a party or any Person succeeding to the commercial banking business of the Administrative Agent or such successor custodian, shall be the successor custodian without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties, but only if such Person is eligible under the provisions of Section 8.1.
9. Limitation on Obligations of and Reliance By Custodian; Insurance.

The Custodian shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of its legal counsel from time to time and shall not be liable for any action or inaction by it in reliance upon such advice. The Custodian shall also be entitled to rely upon any notice, document, correspondence, request or directive received by it from any other party to this Custody Agreement that the Custodian believes to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper and duly authorized officer or representative thereof, and shall not be obligated to inquire as to the authority or power of any Person so executing or presenting such documents or as to the truthfulness of any statements set forth therein. The Custodian shall at its own expense maintain at all times during the existence of this Custody Agreement and keep in full force and effect fidelity insurance, theft of documents insurance, and forgery insurance.

If you pay the Administrative Agent/Custodian only the Agreed Purchase Price for a Loan whose Release Price is more than that, while you (or the Issuer) will thereupon become the owner of that Loan, the Administrative Agent/Custodian, for the benefit of the Buyers, retains a security interest in that Loan, which security interest will not be released unless and until either you (the Issuer) or the Mortgage Company pays the difference and gives the Administrative Agent/Custodian a written notice saying what the payment is for. The notice must give the Administrative Agent/Custodian enough information to enable it to both (i) identify the Loan with the payment and (ii) determine that the amount of the payment at least equals the excess of the Loan’s Release Price over its Agreed Purchase Price.
4. | Loans are Sold to the Buyers |
Pursuant to the Master Repurchase Agreement, the Mortgage Company has sold the Loans to the Buyers, and the Custodian holds the Loan Papers, the Loans they evidence and all related security, collateral support and other rights on behalf of the Buyers.
5. | UCC § 9-313(h) Perfection by Possession |
Although the parties intend that all Transactions under the Master Repurchase Agreement be sales and purchases and not loans, if any one or more Transactions are recharacterized as loans by a court of competent jurisdiction, the parties have agreed that the Mortgage Company has pledged the Loans to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Buyers, as security for such recharacterized Transactions. To invoke UCC § 9-313(h) to maintain the perfection by possession of the Loan Papers of the security interest in the Loans held by the Administrative Agent/Custodian (as agent and representative of the Buyers) as secured party, we instruct you hereby, concurrently with this delivery of the Loan Papers, (1) to hold possession of the Loan Papers for the benefit of the Administrative Agent/Custodian as secured party, or (2) to redeliver the Loan Papers to the Administrative Agent/Custodian.
6. | The Mortgage Company’s, the Buyers’ and Your Respective Interests in the Loans and the Loan Papers — You Are Only a Bailee |
We are delivering bare possession of the Loan Papers to you as bailee for your (the Issuer’s) inspection and decision whether you (the Issuer) will buy (Securitize) and pay us (for the Mortgage Company’s credit) for the related Loans or (have you) return to the Administrative Agent/Custodian the Loan Papers for the Loans that you do not purchase (the Issuer does not accept for Securitization) and pay for. The Buyers retain and reserve all of their ownership rights in the Loans and the Loan Papers, until you purchase (the Issuer Securitizes), and actually make(s) payment to the Administrative Agent/Custodian for, the Loans in accordance with this bailee letter. Neither you or the Issuer acquires any ownership or security interest in them by our delivery of them to you and neither will acquire any interest in them unless and until you or the Issuer has paid us for them. No sale on credit is being made, and no credit is being extended to you. This bailee letter and our delivery of the Loan Papers to you creates a “true bailment”
Ex A-3

[Date]
Page 4
under applicable law, and your interest in the Loan Papers and their related Loans is and will be limited to that of a bailee under such law, with no ability to pass a greater interest to another (the Issuer or anyone else), unless and until you (or the Issuer) purchase(s) and wire(s) payment of the Pay-off Price (defined below) for the Loans you decide to purchase (that the Issuer accepts for Securitization) (if any) to the Administrative Agent/Custodian in strict accordance with Paragraph 2 and the other provisions of this bailee letter.
7. | Administrative Agent/Custodian has Exclusive Authority to Give Instructions |
With respect to the Loans, only the Administrative Agent/Custodian has authority (A) to request or direct you (the Issuer) (i) where to make payment, (ii) where to return the Loan Papers for Loans you decide (the Issuer decides) not to purchase (Securitize) or (iii) to take any other action, or (B) to make any agreement with you (or the Issuer). Unless the Administrative Agent/Custodian hereafter gives you different written instructions or advice, this bailee letter provides all instructions and advice for the Loans and the Loan Papers. Neither you nor the Issuer may honor any notice, direction or other communication from the Mortgage Company (or anyone else) concerning the Loans or the Loan Papers unless it is specifically confirmed in writing by the Administrative Agent/Custodian.
8. | No Other Payment or Delivery Before Payment to the Administrative Agent/Custodian |
You may not make payment for the Loans to anyone but the Administrative Agent/Custodian unless you are otherwise specifically instructed in writing by the Administrative Agent/Custodian. Until the Administrative Agent/Custodian has received payment of the full Pay-Off Price for a Loan, you may not deliver any of its Loan Papers to anyone other than the Administrative Agent/Custodian without written authorization from the Administrative Agent/Custodian. DO NOT SEND ANY PAYMENTS OR ANY LOAN PAPERS TO THE MORTGAGE COMPANY.
9. | 45-Day Notice of Issuer’s Decision to Securitize; You or the Issuer Must Pay for Loans You Don’t Specifically Notify Us Are Rejected |
It is very important that you promptly notify us in writing of the Issuer’s decision with respect to each Loan so that we will know at all times which specific Loans will remain subject to the Custody Agreement and which will not. Accordingly, you agree to give the Administrative Agent/Custodian written notice on or before 45 days after the date of this bailee letter that identifies which (if any) of the enclosed Loans the Issuer elects not to Securitize, and you agree to pay us for all of the enclosed Loans that you do not list in that notice.
10. | Our Absolute Right to Require Return of Loan Papers Not Sooner Paid for or Securitized |
Notwithstanding any other provision of this bailee letter, the enclosed Loan Papers are delivered to you on the express and controlling condition that, unless the Administrative Agent/Custodian has already received the Pay-Off Price for each of the Loans or the Subject Security based on
Ex A-4
[Investor’s name]
[Date]
Page 5
them has already been issued by the Issuer, you will return any or all of them to us, as Administrative Agent/Custodian, promptly upon your receipt of our written direction to do so and in any event within 45 calendar days after the date of this Bailee Letter, regardless of whether or not the Issuer has decided to (include such Loans in the pool of Loans from which the Subject Security will be created) (Securitize the related Loan or Loans), excluding only those Loans (if any) for which you have already paid us the Pay-Off Price or from which such a security has already been created and issued.
11. | You Agree to Keep the Loan Papers Safe |
You agree to keep all of the enclosed Loan Papers in a fire-resistant vault and safe from loss, theft and other casualty and agree to bear any losses, costs or expenses the Mortgage Company, the Administrative Agent/Custodian and the Buyers may incur as a result of any such event.
12. | This Letter Controls |
If any other written instruction or advice you receive from us, the Mortgage Company or anyone else in respect of the Loans is inconsistent with this bailee letter, then this bailee letter shall control unless the Administrative Agent/Custodian confirms in writing that the other instruction or advice controls.
13. | Please Confirm Receipt |
Please immediately indicate your receipt of this bailee letter and the enclosed Loan Papers, and your acceptance of and agreement to the bailment and the other terms and conditions stated above, by dating and signing the enclosed copy of this bailee letter and returning it to us (although your doing so will not be necessary to the effectiveness of any of this bailee letter’s terms, provisions or conditions).
