MORTGAGE LOAN PARTICIPATION PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT
This is a MORTGAGE LOAN PARTICIPATION PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of December 23, 2011, among Bank of America, N.A. (“Purchaser”), PennyMac Corp. (“Seller”), PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust and PennyMac Operating Partnership, L.P. (each a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”).
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
Seller desires to sell to Purchaser from time to time all of Seller’s beneficial right, title and interest in and to designated pools of fully amortizing first lien residential Mortgage Loans eligible in the aggregate to back Securities, and the servicing rights relating thereto, with the terms described in related Takeout Commitments, each in the form of a 100% undivided beneficial ownership interest evidenced by a Participation Certificate.
Purchaser desires and may, in its sole discretion, purchase such Participation Certificates from Seller in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Seller, subject to the terms hereof, will cause (a) the Related Mortgage Loans to back a GNMA Security issued by Seller and guaranteed by GNMA, a Xxxxxx Xxx Security issued and guaranteed by Xxxxxx Mae, or a Xxxxxxx Mac Security issued and guaranteed by Xxxxxxx Mac and (b) Delivery of such GNMA Security, Xxxxxx Xxx Security, or Xxxxxxx Mac Security by GNMA, Xxxxxx Xxx, or Xxxxxxx Mac, respectively, to Purchaser or its designee, which GNMA Security, Xxxxxx Mae Security or Xxxxxxx Mac Security, as applicable, will be purchased by the Approved Investor.
Purchaser’s willingness to purchase any Participation Certificate evidencing a beneficial interest in the Related Mortgage Loans and the servicing rights related thereto is at the sole discretion of Purchaser and based on Purchaser’s expectation, in reliance upon Seller’s representations and warranties herein, that (a) such Mortgage Loans in the aggregate, constitute a pool or pools of mortgage loans that are eligible to back a Security, (b) such Mortgage Loans are sufficient for Seller to issue and GNMA to guarantee the GNMA Security, Xxxxxx Mae to issue and guarantee a Xxxxxx Xxx Security, or Xxxxxxx Mac to issue and guarantee a Xxxxxxx Mac Security, as applicable, (c) such Security will be issued in the amount and with the terms described in the related Takeout Commitment, and (d) Purchaser will receive Delivery of such Security on the specified Anticipated Delivery Date.
The amount of the Purchase Price to be paid by Purchaser to Seller with respect to each Participation Certificate will be calculated on the expectation of Purchaser, based upon the representations and warranties of Seller herein, that Purchaser will receive Delivery of the Security to be backed by the Related Mortgage Loans on the specified Anticipated Delivery Date, and that failure to receive such Delivery will result in a material decrease in the market value of the Participation Certificate and the Related Mortgage Loans considered as a whole. During the period from the purchase of a Participation Certificate to Delivery of the related Security, Purchaser expects to rely entirely upon Seller to subservice the Related Mortgage Loans for the benefit of Purchaser, it being acknowledged that the continued effectiveness of Seller’s Approvals during such period constitutes an essential factor in the calculation by Purchaser of the Purchase Price paid to Seller for the Related Participation Certificate and that loss of such Approvals by Seller would result in a material decrease in the market value of the Participation Certificate and the Related Mortgage Loans considered as a whole.

The purchase of any Participation Certificate shall be subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9. In accordance with the provisions of the Electronic Tracking Agreement, the Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, (1) cause each Related Mortgage Loan with respect to which a Participation Certificate is to be sold to the Purchaser on a Purchase Date, the Mortgage for which is recorded in the name of MERS, to be designated a MERS Mortgage Loan and (2) cause the Purchaser to be designated interim funder (as defined in the Electronic Tracking Agreement) with respect to each such MERS Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the satisfaction of the conditions specified in this Section 2(a) or anything else herein or in any other Program Document to the contrary, Purchaser is not obligated to purchase any Participation Certificate offered to it hereunder.

Effective upon execution and delivery of such copy of the Participation Certificate to Purchaser, Seller hereby assigns to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Participation Certificate and a 100% undivided beneficial ownership interest in the Related Mortgage Loans. In the event that Purchaser does not transmit such payment, (i) any Participation Certificate delivered by Custodian to Purchaser in anticipation of such purchase shall automatically be null and void, (ii) Purchaser will not consummate the transactions contemplated in the applicable Trade Assignment and (iii) to the extent that Purchaser shall nevertheless receive the Security backed by the Related Mortgage Loans prior to the Related Participation Certificate becoming null and void as provided in clause (i) above, Purchaser shall take all reasonable actions necessary to ensure that such Security shall be delivered in accordance with Seller’s delivery instructions specified in Annex A.
(c) The terms and conditions of the purchase of each Participation Certificate shall be as set forth in this Agreement.

Section 5. Issuance of Securities.
(a) (i) In connection with the purchase of a Participation Certificate, Seller shall instruct (and, if Seller fails to instruct, then Purchaser may instruct) Custodian to deliver to the Applicable Agency, the documents listed for delivery to such Applicable Agency in an exhibit to the Custodial

Upon Delivery of such Security to Purchaser or its designee, Purchaser shall cease to have any interest under the Related Participation Certificate and in exchange shall have a 100% ownership interest in the related Security. It is understood and agreed that for so long as Seller is servicing Related Mortgage Loans, Seller shall retain only bare legal title (and not an equitable interest) in all such Mortgage Loans (other than MERS Mortgage Loans) for the sole purpose of servicing such Mortgage Loans on a servicing released basis.
(b) If Delivery of a Security backed by the Mortgage Loans evidenced by a Participation Certificate purchased hereunder has not occurred by 12:00 noon (Eastern Time) on the related Settlement Date as a result of a Securities Issuance Failure, then subject to the exercise by Purchaser of its rights set forth in Section 4(c), the Holdback Amount relating to such Participation Certificate shall be reduced on each day during the period from the Settlement Date to (but not including) the earlier of (x) the date of Delivery of such Security, and (y) the date of satisfaction of the obligations of Seller pursuant to the exercise by Purchaser of any remedial election authorized by this Section 5, by an amount equal to the Daily Holdback Reduction Amount.

If the aggregate principal balance of any Mortgage Loans that are accepted by Purchaser pursuant to clause (y) of the immediately preceding sentence is less than the aggregate principal balance of any Defective Mortgage Loan that is being replaced by such Mortgage Loan, Seller shall remit with such Mortgage Loan to Purchaser an amount equal to the difference between the aggregate principal balance of the new Mortgage Loan accepted by Purchaser and the aggregate principal balance of the Defective
Mortgage Loan being replaced thereby (the “Replacement Shortfall”) plus accrued interest on such Defective Mortgage Loan at the rate specified in the related Mortgage Note on the Replacement Shortfall from the Purchase Date of Purchaser’s purchase of the Related Participation Certificate to the date of substitution.

Upon any such termination, all authority and power of Seller and Servicer respecting its rights to subservice and duties under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement relating thereto, shall pass to and be vested in the Successor Servicer appointed by Purchaser and Purchaser is hereby authorized and empowered to transfer such rights to subservice the Related Mortgage Loans for such price and on such terms and conditions as Purchaser shall reasonably determine; provided, that to the extent the Applicable Agency proceeds to issue a Security with respect to the Related Mortgage Loans, Purchaser shall convey the servicing rights and the rights to subservice such Mortgage Loans in accordance with such Applicable Agency’s instructions. Seller shall promptly take such actions and furnish to Purchaser such documents that Purchaser deems necessary or appropriate to enable Purchaser to obtain a Security backed by such Mortgage Loans or to enforce such Mortgage Loans, as appropriate, and shall perform all acts and take all actions so that the Related Mortgage Loans and all files and documents relating to such Mortgage Loans held by Seller, together with all escrow amounts relating to such Mortgage Loans, are delivered to Successor Servicer, including but not limited to preparing, executing and delivering to the Successor Servicer any and all documents and other instruments, placing in the Successor Servicer’s possession all Servicing Records pertaining to such Mortgage Loans and doing or causing to be done any other actions requested by Purchaser, all at Seller’s sole expense. To the extent that the approval of the Applicable Agency is required for any such sale or transfer, Seller shall fully cooperate with Purchaser to obtain such approval. All amounts paid by any purchaser of such rights to service or subservice the Related Mortgage Loans shall be the property of Purchaser. The subservicing required to be delivered to Successor Servicer in accordance with this Section 6(h) shall be delivered free of any servicing rights in favor of Seller or any third party (other than Purchaser) and free of any title, interest, lien, encumbrance or claim of any kind of Seller. No exercise by Purchaser of its rights under this Section 6(h) shall relieve Seller of responsibility or liability for any breach of this Agreement.
Section 7. Transfers of Participation Certificates and Securities by Purchaser.
Purchaser may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of Seller, assign all of its right, title and interest or grant a security interest in any Participation Certificate and the related servicing rights, each Security in respect thereof of which Delivery is made to Purchaser and all rights of Purchaser under this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the Custodial Account) in respect of such Participation Certificate and such Security, to any person (an “Assignee”), subject only to an obligation on the part of the Assignee to deliver each such Security to the Approved Investor or to permit Purchaser or its designee to make delivery thereof to the Approved Investor. Assignment by Purchaser of a Participation Certificate and the related servicing rights as provided in this Section 7 will not release Purchaser from its obligations otherwise under this Agreement.
Without limitation of the foregoing, an assignment of a Participation Certificate and the related servicing rights to an Assignee, as described in this Section 7, shall be effective upon delivery of the Participation Certificate to the Assignee or its designee, together with a duly executed Assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit E (with a copy to Seller).
Section 8. Record Title to Mortgage Loans; Intent of Parties; Security Interest.
(a) From and after the issuance and delivery of the Related Participation Certificate, and subject to the remedies of Purchaser in Section 5, Seller or Servicer as subservicer shall remain the last named payee or endorsee of each Mortgage Note and the mortgagee or assignee of record of each Mortgage (except with respect to any MERS Mortgage Loan) and shall retain only bare legal title (and not an equitable interest) in the Related Mortgage Loan, all for the benefit of Purchaser for the sole purpose of facilitating the subservicing of such Mortgage Loan and the issuance of a Security backed by such Mortgage Loan.
(b) Seller shall maintain or cause to be maintained a complete set of books and records for each Related Mortgage Loan which shall be clearly marked to reflect the beneficial ownership interest in each Related Mortgage Loan of the holder of the Related Participation Certificate. Seller shall notify MERS of Purchaser’s interest in each MERS Mortgage Loan as an “interim funder”.
(c) Purchaser and Seller confirm that the transactions contemplated herein are intended to be sales of the Participation Certificates by Seller to Purchaser rather than borrowings secured by the Participation Certificates. In the event, for any reason, any transaction is construed by any court or regulatory authority as a borrowing rather than as a sale, in order to secure the Seller’s obligations hereunder and any other obligations between the Seller on the one hand and the Purchaser and its Affiliates on the other, and in any event, Seller and Purchaser intend that Purchaser or its Assignee, as the case may be, shall have, and the Seller hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Purchaser or its Assignee a perfected first priority security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Participation Certificates, all of the servicing rights with respect to the Related Mortgage Loans, the Custodial Account and all amounts on deposit therein, the Related Mortgage Loans subject to each Participation Certificate, all documents, records (including Servicing Records), instruments and data evidencing the Related Mortgage Loans and the servicing thereof, the Securities to be issued as contemplated hereunder and all proceeds thereof, the Takeout Commitments and the proceeds of any and all of the foregoing in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created (collectively, the “Collateral”), free and clear of adverse claims. In such case, Seller shall be deemed to have hereby granted to Purchaser or its Assignee, as the case may be, a first priority security interest in and lien upon the Collateral, free and clear of adverse claims. In such event, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement, the Custodian shall be deemed to be an independent custodian for purposes of perfection of the security interest herein granted to Purchaser, and Purchaser or each such Assignee shall have all of the rights of a secured party under applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, if any determination is made that the servicing
rights with respect to the Related Mortgage Loans were not sold by Seller to Purchaser or that that such servicing rights are not an interest in the Related Mortgage Loans and are severable from the Related Mortgage Loans despite Purchaser’s and Seller’s express intent herein to treat them as included in the purchase and sale transaction, Seller hereby expressly pledges, assigns and grants to Purchaser a continuing first priority security interest in and lien upon the servicing rights and all documentation and rights to receive documentation related to such servicing rights and the servicing of each of the Related Mortgage Loans (the “Related Credit Enhancement”). The Related Credit Enhancement is hereby pledged as further security for Seller’s obligations to Purchaser hereunder.
(d) Upon request of Purchaser, Seller shall prepare and deliver to MERS an Assignment of Mortgage from MERS to Purchaser or its designee. Upon due execution by MERS, Seller shall cause such Assignment of Mortgage to be recorded in the public land records upon request of Purchaser.

This Agreement and the Program Documents have been (or, in the case of Program Documents not yet executed, will be) duly authorized, executed and delivered by Seller and each Guarantor, all requisite or other corporate action having been taken, and each is valid, binding and enforceable against Seller and each Guarantor in accordance with its terms except as such enforcement may be affected by bankruptcy, by other insolvency laws, or by general principles of equity.

Section 23. Intent.
(a) Seller and Purchaser recognize that each sale of a Participation Certificate (including the related servicing rights) under this Agreement is a “securities contract” and a “master netting agreement” as those terms are defined in Section 741 and Section 101(38A)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code, respectively, and a “qualified financial contract” as that term is defined in the FDIA, and that the pledge of the Related Credit Enhancement in Section 8(c) hereof constitutes “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” the Agreement and transactions hereunder within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code. Seller and Purchaser further recognize that the beneficial interest in the Related Mortgage Loans evidenced by a Participation Certificate shall constitute an “interest in a mortgage loan” as that term is used in Section and 741(7)(A)(i) of Bankruptcy Code.
(b) It is understood that the Purchaser shall have the right to liquidate, terminate and accelerate, or exercise any other remedies permitted upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and that such liquidation, termination and acceleration rights constitute contractual rights to liquidate, terminate and accelerate the transactions under a “securities contract” and a “master netting agreement” as described in Section 555 and Section 561 of the Bankruptcy Code, respectively, and a “qualified financial contract” as described Section 1821(e)(8)(A)(i) of the FDIA.
(c) The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the FDIA, then each transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term is defined in the FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such transaction would render such definition inapplicable).
(d) It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation,” respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA.
Section 24. Full Recourse.
The obligations of Seller from time to time to pay all amounts due under this Agreement shall be full recourse obligations of Seller.
Section 25. Examination and Oversight by Regulators.
Seller agrees that the transactions with Purchaser under this Agreement may be subject to regulatory examination and oversight by one or more Governmental Authorities. Seller shall comply with all regulatory requirements of Purchaser and Seller shall grant any such Governmental Authorities, the right to audit the books and records of Seller in order to monitor or verify Seller’s performance under and compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 26. Consent to Service.
Each party irrevocably consents to the service of process by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to it at its address provided pursuant to Section 20.
Section 27. Construction.
For purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires:
(a) the terms defined in this Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in this Agreement and include the plural as well as the singular, and the use of any gender herein shall be deemed to include the other gender;
(b) accounting terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;
(c) references herein to “Articles”, “Sections”, “Subsections”, “Paragraphs”, and other subdivisions without reference to a document are to designated Articles, Sections, Subsections, Paragraphs and other subdivisions of this Agreement;
(d) a reference to a Subsection without further reference to a Section is a reference to such Subsection as contained in the same Section in which the reference appears, and this rule shall also apply to Paragraphs and other subdivisions;
(e) the words “herein”, “hereof”, “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision;
(f) the term “include” or “including” shall mean without limitation by reason of enumeration;
(g) all times specified herein or in any other Program Document (unless expressly specified otherwise) are Eastern time unless otherwise stated; and
(h) all references herein or in any Program Document to “good faith” means good faith as defined in Section 1-201(19) of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York.
Section 28. Confidentiality.
This Agreement and its terms, provisions, supplements and amendments, and notices hereunder, are proprietary to Purchaser or Seller and each Guarantor, as applicable, and shall be held by each party hereto, as applicable, in strict confidence and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the written consent of Purchaser, Seller or either Guarantor, as applicable, except for (i) disclosure to Purchaser’s, Seller’s or a Guarantor’s direct and indirect Affiliates and Subsidiaries, attorneys or accountants, but only to the extent such disclosure is necessary and such parties agree to hold all information in strict confidence, or (ii) disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Program Document, the parties hereto may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal, state and local tax treatment of the transactions hereunder, any fact relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the transactions hereunder, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such federal, state and local tax treatment and that may be relevant to understanding such tax treatment; provided that Seller may not disclose the name of or identifying information with respect to Purchaser or any pricing terms (including, without limitation, the Discount Rate, Daily Holdback Reduction Rate, Applicable Percentage and Purchase Price) or other nonpublic business or financial information (including any sublimits and financial covenants) that is unrelated to the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions and is not relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, without the prior written consent of Purchaser.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall comply with all applicable local, state and federal laws, including, without limitation, all privacy and data protection law, rules and regulations that are applicable to the Related Mortgage Loans and/or any applicable terms of this Agreement (the “Confidential Information”). Seller understands that the Confidential Information may contain “nonpublic personal information”, as that term is defined in Section 509(4) of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act (the “Act”), and Seller agrees to maintain such nonpublic personal information that it receives hereunder in accordance with the Act and other applicable federal and state privacy laws. Seller shall implement such physical and other security measures as shall be necessary to (a) ensure the security and confidentiality of the “nonpublic personal information” of the “customers” and “consumers” (as those terms are defined in the Act) of Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser which Purchaser holds (b) protect against any threats or hazards to the security and integrity of such nonpublic personal information, and (c) protect against any unauthorized access to or use of such nonpublic personal information. Seller represents and warrants that it has implemented appropriate measures to meet the objectives of Section 501(b) of the Act and of the applicable standards adopted pursuant thereto, as now or hereafter in effect. Upon request, Seller will provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to allow Purchaser to confirm that the providing party has satisfied its obligations as required under this Section. Without limitation, this may include Purchaser’s review of audits, summaries of test results, and other equivalent evaluations of Seller. Seller shall notify the other party immediately following discovery of any breach or compromise of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of nonpublic personal information of the customers and consumers of Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser provided directly to Seller by Purchaser or such Affiliate. Seller shall provide such notice to Purchaser by personal delivery, by facsimile with confirmation of receipt, or by overnight courier with confirmation of receipt to the applicable requesting individual.

FORM OF SERVICER NOTICE AND PLEDGE
December 23, 2011
PennyMac Loan Services, LLC, as Servicer 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxx
Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000 Attention: Xxxx X. XxXxxxxxx
Re: Mortgage Loan Participation Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of December 23, 2011 (“the Purchase and Sale Agreement”), by and among PennyMac Corp. (the “Seller”), PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (“PMIT” and a “Guarantor”) and PennyMac Operating Partnership, L.P. (“PMOP”, a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”) and Bank of America, N.A. (the “Purchaser”).
Ladies and Gentlemen:
PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (the “Servicer”) is servicing certain mortgage loans for PMOP and its wholly owned Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, Seller pursuant to that certain Flow Servicing Agreement, dated as of August 4, 2009, between the Servicer and PMOP. Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement between Purchaser, Seller and Guarantors, the Servicer is hereby notified that Seller has sold to Purchaser certain mortgage loans which are serviced by Servicer which are subject to a security interest in favor of Purchaser. All defined terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Purchase and Sale Agreement.
Section 1. Servicing Rights and Grant of Security Interest. (a) Purchaser and Servicer hereby agree that in order to further secure the Obligations under the Purchase and Sale Agreement and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by Servicer, Servicer hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Purchaser a fully perfected first priority security interest in all right, title and interest of the Servicer in, to and under the Custodial Account and all amounts held therein, all its servicing rights related to the Related Mortgage Loans and all proceeds related thereto, in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located.
(b) The foregoing provision is intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Purchase and Sale Agreement and transactions thereunder as defined under Sections 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.
(c) In addition, Servicer hereby acknowledges that the Purchaser has purchased the Related Mortgage Loans on a servicing released basis and Purchaser shall have the same rights and remedies with respect to the Servicing Rights as it has with respect to the Collateral under the Purchase and Sale Agreement.
(d) Servicer agrees to execute, deliver and/or file such documents and perform such acts as may be reasonably necessary to fully perfect Purchaser’s security interest created hereby. Furthermore, the Servicer hereby authorizes Purchaser to file financing statements relating to the security interest set forth herein, as Purchaser, at its option, may deem appropriate.
(e) Servicer waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations under the Purchase and Sale Agreement or security interest hereunder and notice or proof of reliance by Purchaser upon this Servicer Notice and Pledge. Servicer hereby waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon Seller or Servicer with respect the Obligations.
Section 2. Act as Servicer. (a) Upon receipt of a notice of Event of Default from Purchaser (“Notice of Event of Default”) in which Purchaser shall identify the Related Mortgage Loans which are then pledged to Purchaser under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Servicer shall segregate all amounts collected on account of such Related Mortgage Loans, hold them in trust for the sole and exclusive benefit of Purchaser, and remit such collections in accordance with Purchaser’s written instructions. Following such Notice of Event of Default, Servicer shall follow the instructions of Purchaser with respect to the Related Mortgage Loans, and shall deliver to Purchaser any information with respect to the Related Mortgage Loans reasonably requested by Purchaser.
(b) Notwithstanding any contrary information which may be delivered to the Servicer by Seller or a Guarantor, the Servicer may conclusively rely on any information or Notice of Event of Default delivered by Purchaser, and Seller and Guarantors shall indemnify and hold the Servicer harmless for any and all claims asserted against it for any actions taken in good faith by the Servicer in connection with the delivery of such information or Notice of Event of Default.
Section 3. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
Section 4. Entire Agreement; Severability. This Agreement shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for transactions. Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.
Section 5. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Trial by Jury. (a) THIS SERVICER NOTICE AND PLEDGE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.
(b) SELLER, GUARANTORS AND SERVICER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM DOCUMENTS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING. SERVICER HEREBY SUBMITS TO, AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THEY MAY HAVE TO, EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN XXX XXXXXX XX XXX XXXXX XX XXX XXXX AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM DOCUMENTS.
(c) SELLER, GUARANTORS AND SERVICER HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY.
