Seller desires to sell and Purchaser desires to purchase from Seller, on terms and conditions described herein, certain loans (each, a “Loan”; collectively, the “Loans”), each secured by a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt, security instrument, or any other security agreement and instrument from the borrower under the applicable Loan (“Borrower”) to, or for the benefit of, Seller, which constitutes a lien (each, a “Security Instrument”; collectively, the “Security Instruments”) on improved real property, which has been, or is being, renovated for resale (each, the “Property”), securing among other things payment by a Borrower of a promissory note from the applicable Borrower in favor of Seller (each, a “Note”; collectively, the “Notes”).
The Loans shall be sold to Purchaser as whole loans with no retained rights of Seller and shall be delivered to Purchaser on various dates as provided in the related Confirmation (each, a “Closing Date”). “Confirmation” means, with respect to each Loan, the trade confirmation between the Purchaser and the Seller (including any exhibits, schedules and attachments), setting forth the terms and conditions of such transaction and describing the Loan(s) to be purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit “A” attached hereto. If any conflict arises between the terms of this Agreement and of a related Confirmation, the terms of the related Confirmation shall prevail.
Seller and Purchaser, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Agreement to Purchase. On the related Closing Date, Seller agrees to sell, and Purchaser agrees to purchase, on the terms and conditions stated herein and in the related Confirmation, certain Loans (and the servicing rights thereto) having an aggregate principal balance as set forth in the related Confirmation (the “Closing Date Principal Balance”), or in such other amount as agreed by Purchaser and Seller in writing. This Agreement is not a commitment by Purchaser to enter into Confirmations with or to purchase Loans from Seller but rather sets forth the procedures to be used in connection with periodic requests for Purchaser to enter into Confirmations with and purchase Loans from Seller. Seller hereby acknowledges that Purchaser is under no obligation to agree to enter into any Confirmation or to agree to purchase any Loans pursuant to this Agreement.
SECTION 2. Loan Schedule. Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that the Loans to be purchased under this Agreement on the related Closing Date shall be the Loans identified in the Loan Schedule (the “Loan Schedule”) contained in the related Confirmation.

8.16 | Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits. The servicing and collection practices used with respect to the Loans have been in accordance with (a) the terms of the Note and the Security Instrument, (b) any and all requirements of all federal, state and local laws, including, without limitation, laws with respect to vacancy notices, usury, consumer credit protection, privacy or disclosure and (c) the reasonable and customary servicing practices of prudent secured lending institutions that service loans secured by real estate which are of the same type as the Loans in the jurisdiction where the Property is located. |
8 |
8.17 | No Condemnation. There is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the related Property; |
8.18 | Insurance. The Property securing each Loan is insured, with Borrower as the insured and Seller and its successors and assigns as lender/mortgagee, loss payee and/or additional insured, by an insurer reasonably acceptable to Purchaser against loss by fire and such hazards as are covered under a standard “all risk” extended coverage endorsement or policy, in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (a) 100% of the insurable value, on a replacement cost basis, of the improvements on the related Property and (b) the unpaid principal balance of the Loan. If upon origination of the Loan, the improvements on the Property were in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (x) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, (y) the full insurable value and (z) the maximum amount of insurance which was available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act, as amended; and the Security Instrument obligates the Borrower thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Borrower’s cost and expense and the Seller has not acted or failed to act so as to impair the coverage of any such insurance policy or the validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof; |
8.19 | No Violation of Environmental Laws. There is no pending action or proceeding directly involving any Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue; and to the best of the Seller’s knowledge nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule or regulation constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said property; |
8.20 | Advancement of Funds by Seller. Neither Seller nor any affiliate of Seller has advanced any funds for or on behalf of a borrower under a Note for any delinquent payment or to otherwise make funds available to any such borrower to avoid or cure a default by such borrower under the documents evidencing its Loan; |
8.21 | Modification. If applicable, the terms of any modification with respect to such Loan have been accurately disclosed to Purchaser; |
8.22 | Litigation. Such Loan is not subject to any outstanding litigation; |
8.23 | No Defaults. There is no default in the payment obligations of Borrower under the Note and Security Instrument, and, to Seller’s knowledge, there is no other default by Borrower under the Note and the Security Instrument; |
8.24 | Miscellaneous Taxes. All intangible, mortgage, documentary stamp taxes and charges, and other similar charges due and payable in connection with the Loan and the execution and recording (as applicable) of the Security Instrument have been paid in full; and |
8.25 | No Residential Loan. No Loan is (i) a residential mortgage loan, (ii) for personal, household or family purposes, (iii) secured by property which is occupied by or used as a dwelling for the borrower (or guarantor, as applicable) thereunder or any affiliate or family member of the borrower (or the guarantor, as applicable), or (iv) to individuals or natural persons. Seller has provided Purchaser with copies of any Non-Owner Occupancy Certificates executed by Borrowers for the Loans and Seller has executed a Non-Owner Occupancy Certificate in favor of Purchaser regarding each Loan, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “E”. |
9 |
8.26 | Underwriting and Origination. Seller has originated each Loan and underwritten each Property and Loan in accordance with the Underwriting and Origination Guidelines attached as Schedule 3 to the Confirmations for each Loan. |
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 and Section 8 shall survive the sale and delivery of the Loans to Purchaser and shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Notes and notwithstanding subsequent termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 9. Repurchase. If Purchaser discovers that a breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 5 or 8 has occurred (a “Breach”), Purchaser shall have the right, by providing written notice to Seller, to cause Seller to repurchase the affected Loans from Purchaser. Such notice from the Purchaser shall be accompanied by reasonable documentation, to the extent in the possession of Purchaser, to enable the Seller to determine the validity of Purchaser’s assertion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have 10 days to cure any Breach. This cure period will commence upon the date of Purchaser’s written notice to Seller of the related Breach. In the event a Breach is not cured within such 10 day period, at Purchaser’s option, the affected Loan shall be repurchased by the Seller within 10 days of the expiration of such 10 day period. Unless otherwise set forth in the related Confirmation, the repurchase price shall be equal to (a) 110% of the Purchase Price paid to Seller by Purchaser, less (b) any amounts received by the Purchaser which reduce the outstanding principal amount of the respective Loan.
Upon completion of such repurchase by Seller, Purchaser and Seller shall arrange for the reassignment of the repurchased Loan to the Seller and the delivery to Seller of any documents held by Purchaser or its custodian relating to the repurchased Loan. In the case of any lien for which an assignment from Seller to Purchaser has been recorded prior to repurchase, Purchaser shall within 10 calendar days of the repurchase provide an executed assignment from Purchaser to Seller. Seller shall pay any reasonable and necessary recording costs in connection with recording such reassignment.
SECTION 10. Indemnification.
10.1 | In addition to any repurchase and cure obligations of Seller, and any and all other remedies available to the Purchaser under this Agreement, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and Purchaser’s successors, assigns or other designees, including, without limitation, any subsequent holder of any Note, against all losses, damages, penalties, fines, claims, forfeitures, lawsuits, court costs, reasonable attorney’s fees, judgments, and any other costs, fees, and expenses resulting from any act or failure to act or any breach of any warranty, obligation, representation, or covenant contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement by Seller or any agent, employee, representative or officer of the Seller. The indemnification obligations of Seller hereunder shall survive the termination of this Agreement. |

The indemnification obligations of Purchaser hereunder shall (a) not extend to consequential damages and (b) survive the termination of this Agreement. |
