(ii) If Xxxxxx Xxx exercises its option to withdraw its Consent:

(A) Such withdrawal of Xxxxxx Mae’s Consent shall apply to any Servicing Advance Receivable with respect to which the Servicer has made or will make a Delinquent MBS Mortgage Repurchase Advance, a Delinquency Advance or a Servicing Advance after the Termination Event Cut Off Date (defined below); provided that the Security Interest shall remain in full force and effect and Xxxxxx Xxx shall continue to be obligated to reimburse the Servicer pursuant to the Xxxxxx Mae Lender Contract and this Agreement on account of any Purchased Servicing Advance Receivables as to which the Servicer has made or will make a Delinquent MBS Mortgage Repurchase Advance, a Delinquency Advance or a Servicing Advance in accordance with the Xxxxxx Xxx Lender Contract on or before the effective date of the Termination Event (the “Termination Event Cut Off Date”).

(B) After the Termination Event Cut Off Date, the Servicer shall not sell and/or contribute to the Depositor any Servicing Advance Receivables with respect to which the Servicer has made or will make a Delinquent MBS Mortgage Repurchase Advance, a Delinquency Advance or a Servicing Advance, the Depositor shall not sell and/or contribute any such Servicing Advance Receivables to the Issuer and the Issuer shall not grant a Security Interest with respect to such Servicing Advance Receivables to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties under the Indenture.

(C) Except with respect to the reimbursements by Xxxxxx Xxx to the Servicer described in Section 6(e)(ii)(A), above, related to any Purchased Servicing Advance Receivables as to which the Servicer has made a Delinquent MBS Mortgage Repurchase Advance, a Delinquency Advance or a Servicing Advance in accordance with the Xxxxxx Mae Lender Contract on or before the Termination Event Cut Off Date, after the Termination Event Cut Off Date and the applicable Final Payment Date, Xxxxxx Mae’s agreement in Section 2 to not set off or net any claims it might have against the Servicer, or payments due from the Servicer, from reimbursements Xxxxxx Mae owes to the Servicer pursuant to the Xxxxxx Xxx Lender Contract on account of Purchased Servicing Advance Receivables with respect to which the Servicer has made or will make a Delinquent MBS Mortgage Repurchase Advance, a Delinquency Advance or a Servicing Advance after the Termination Event Cut Off Date in accordance with the Xxxxxx Mae Lender Contract shall become null and void and of no further force and effect.

(iii) The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a “Financial Trigger Event”:

(A) the Servicer fails to maintain a Lender Adjusted Net Worth/Total Assets ratio (as defined in the Selling Guide) of at least 10%;

(B) the Servicer fails to meet all of Xxxxxx Mae’s requirements relating to a lender’s minimum net worth, a decline in Lender’s Adjusted Net Worth, minimum capital, liquidity, profitability, cross default, repurchase limitation, financial statements and reports, and required servicer rating described in Subpart A4‑2‑01 of the Selling Guide, as

amended from time to time, including the requirement that a lender has a financial condition satisfactory to Xxxxxx Mae; or

(C) a Material Adverse Change occurs with respect to the Servicer. A “Material Adverse Change” means the occurrence of an event that would cause a material and adverse change in the financial condition, business, or operation of the Servicer and its parent or subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as a result of any event that disproportionately impacts the Servicer and its parent or subsidiaries relative to similarly‑sized mortgage companies.

(f) Anniversary Event Winding Up Period. If, during an Anniversary Event Winding Up Period (as hereinafter defined), a Termination Event occurs, Xxxxxx Xxx shall have the option to exercise its rights and remedies under this Agreement with respect to the occurrence of either the Termination Event or the Anniversary Event by giving written notice to the Servicer, the Depositor, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement. The “Anniversary Event Winding Up Period” is the period commencing on the day Xxxxxx Mae gives written notice of the occurrence of an Anniversary Event pursuant to Section 6(d)(i), of this Agreement and ending on the Anniversary Event Cut Off Date.

If Xxxxxx Xxx elects to exercise its rights and remedies under this Agreement with respect to the occurrence of the Termination Event, Section 6(e) of this Agreement shall apply with the same force and effect as if the Anniversary Event had not occurred. If Xxxxxx Mae elects to continue to exercise its rights and remedies under this Agreement with respect to the occurrence of the Anniversary Event, Section 6(d) of this Agreement shall continue to apply with the same force and effect as if the Termination Event had not occurred.

7. Event of Default. The Issuer hereby instructs the Indenture Trustee to, and the Indenture Trustee hereby accepts such instruction and agrees that it shall, upon receipt of written notice of an Event of Default under the Indenture or any other Transaction Document, immediately provide Xxxxxx Xxx with notice of the occurrence of such Event of Default.

8. Notices. Any notice or other communication to Xxxxxx Mae pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered by hand, electronic mail (with confirmation), overnight express or similar service (fees prepaid), or first‑class United States registered or certified mail with return receipt requested (postage prepaid), to Xxxxxx Xxx at the address (which may be changed by written notice) shown below. The Transaction Parties request that any communication from Xxxxxx Mae to any Transaction Party, as applicable, be given in the same manner, and under the same procedures, as provided above, with the Transaction Parties’ addresses for such purpose, and related information, being as shown below.

of, or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any such agreement or other instrument, provided, that the representations contained in this Section 14(a) are made for the sole purpose of preventing the Credit Suisse, in its capacity as Administrative Agent, from raising any such violation, breach, conflict, or default as a defense to the enforceability of this Agreement.
