(a) (2) Prior to Purchaser’s election to purchase any Mortgage Loan, Purchaser shall have received from Seller (i) a Loan Purchase Detail, via Electronic Transmission, (ii) a MERS Report reflecting the Purchaser as Investor or Interim Funder for each MERS Designated Mortgage Loan and (iii) Custodian shall have received all applicable documents required by Section 2 of the Custodial Agreement. The terms and conditions of such purchase shall be set forth in this Agreement and in each Funding Confirmation.
(b) (1) If Purchaser elects to purchase any Mortgage Loan, Purchaser shall pay the amount of the Purchase Price for such Mortgage Loan by wire transfer of immediately available funds (i) if a Warehouse Lender’s Release has been included in the related Conduit
10
Submission Package, in accordance with the Warehouse Lender’s Wire Instructions or (ii) if there is no Warehouse Lender’s Release included in the related Conduit Submission Package, in accordance with the Seller’s Wire Instructions.

In the event that Purchaser rejects a Mortgage Loan for purchase for any reason and/or does not transmit the Purchase Price, any Conduit Submission Package delivered to Custodian in anticipation of such purchase shall be returned by Custodian in accordance with the terms of the bailee letter under which it was received.

(a)(1) Upon the sale to Takeout Investor of a Mortgage Loan previously purchased by Purchaser hereunder, Seller shall cause Takeout Proceeds relating to such Mortgage Loan to be paid to Purchaser in accordance with Purchaser’s Wire Instructions to Seller. Since a Takeout Investor or an Agency may aggregate Takeout Proceeds from several Mortgage Loans in one wire transfer, it may be necessary, from time to time, for Seller to cause a Takeout Investor or an Agency to also pay to Purchaser Takeout Proceeds relating to Mortgage Loans not purchased by Purchaser.
(a) (2) Upon receipt by Purchaser of any Takeout Proceeds, Purchaser will attempt to identify such Takeout Proceeds by reviewing the Settlement Information that has been supplied by Seller in advance of the purchase of Mortgage Loans by the Agency.
(a) (3) The Settlement Date will occur on the earliest date Settlement Information is made available by Seller to Purchaser, Purchaser will (i) place all unidentified Takeout Proceeds in a non-interest bearing account and (ii) continue to accrue interest at the Pass-Through Rate on all Mortgage Loans which relate to such unidentified Takeout Proceeds until the Settlement Date of such Mortgage Loans.
(a) (4) All Takeout Proceeds received by Purchaser from Takeout Investor after 3:00 P.M. New York City time on a Business Day (or at any time on a day which is not a Business Day) shall be deemed, with regard to determining the Settlement Date, received by Purchaser on the next succeeding Business Day.
(b) (1) If any Mortgage Loan is rejected by Takeout Investor because it is a Defective Mortgage Loan, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser. If any Mortgage Loan is a Defective Mortgage Loan on the Purchase Date and in Purchaser’s sole judgement the defects in such Mortgage Loan will not be cured (or in fact are not cured) by Seller prior to the Commitment Expiration Date, the Pass-Through Rate applicable to such Defective Mortgage Loan shall, on such Commitment Expiration Date, increase by the Incremental Pass-Through Rate and Purchaser, at its election, may require that Seller, upon receipt of notice from Purchaser, immediately repurchase Purchaser’s ownership interest in such Defective Mortgage Loan by remitting to Purchaser (in immediately available funds in accordance with Purchaser’s instructions) the amount paid by Purchaser for such Defective Mortgage Loan plus interest at the Pass-Through Rate on the principal amount thereof from the Purchase Date of such Mortgage Loan to the date of such repurchase. If at any time prior to the repurchase of a Defective Mortgage Loan by Seller or the purchase of a Mortgage Loan by Takeout Investor, Seller receives the Mortgage Note or any other portion of the Conduit Submission Package, Seller shall promptly forward such Mortgage Note and/or other portion of the Conduit Submission Package to Purchaser.

(b) (2) If Seller fails to comply with its obligations in the manner described in Section 3(b)(1), upon receipt by Seller of notice from Purchaser, Seller’s rights and obligations to service Mortgage Loans, as provided in this Agreement, shall terminate. If an Act of Insolvency occurs at any time, Seller’s rights and obligations to service the Mortgage Loans, as provided in this Agreement, shall terminate immediately, without any notice or action by Purchaser. Upon any such termination, Purchaser is hereby authorized and empowered as the exclusive agent for Seller to sell and transfer such rights to service the Mortgage Loans for such price and on such terms and conditions as Purchaser shall reasonably determine, and Seller shall not otherwise attempt to sell or transfer such rights to service without the prior consent of Purchaser. Seller shall perform all acts and take all action so that all files and documents relating to the Mortgage Loans held by Seller, together with all escrow amounts relating to such Mortgage Loans, are delivered to Successor Servicer. To the extent that the approval of a Third Party Underwriter or any other person is required for any such sale or transfer, Seller shall fully cooperate with Purchaser to obtain such approval. Upon exercise by Purchaser of its remedies under this Section 3(b)(2), Seller hereby authorizes Purchaser to receive all amounts paid by any purchaser of such rights to service the Mortgage Loans and to remit such amounts to Seller subject to Purchaser’s rights of set-off under this Agreement. Upon exercise by Purchaser of its remedies under this Section 3(b)(2), Purchaser’s obligation to pay and Seller’s right to receive any portion of the Performance Fee relating to such Mortgage Loans shall automatically be canceled and become null and void, provided that such cancellation shall in no way relieve Seller or otherwise affect the obligation of Seller to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless as specified in Section 3(c).
(b) (3) Each Mortgage Loan required to be delivered to Successor Servicer by Section 3(b)(2) shall be delivered free of any servicing rights in favor of Seller and free of any title, interest, lien, encumbrance or claim of any kind of Seller. Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered all files and documents relating to each Mortgage Loan held by Seller to Successor Servicer. Seller shall promptly take such actions and furnish to Purchaser such documents that Purchaser deems necessary or appropriate to enable Purchaser to cure any defect in each such Mortgage Loan or to enforce such Mortgage Loans, as appropriate.
(c) Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser and its assignees harmless from and against all Losses resulting from or relating to any breach or failure to perform by Seller of any representation, warranty, covenant, term or condition made or to be performed by Seller under this Agreement.
(d) No exercise by Purchaser of its rights under this Section 3 shall relieve Seller of responsibility or liability for any breach of this Agreement.
(e) Seller hereby grants Purchaser a right of set-off against the payment of any amounts that may be due and payable to Purchaser from Seller, such right to be upon any and all monies or other property of Seller held or received by Purchaser, or due and owing from Purchaser to Seller.
Section 4. Servicing of the Mortgage Loans. (a) It is expressly acknowledged that the Servicing Rights relating to each Mortgage Loan purchased by Purchaser hereunder have been sold, assigned, and transferred by Seller to Purchaser along with such
13
Mortgage Loan. Seller shall service and administer each Mortgage Loan on behalf of Purchaser on an interim basis in accordance with accepted and prudent mortgage loan servicing standards and procedures generally accepted in the mortgage banking industry for the same type of mortgage loans as the Mortgage Loans and in a manner at least equal in quality to the servicing the Seller provides for mortgage loans which it owns and in accordance with the requirements of the Takeout Investor as though the Takeout Investor’s requirements were set forth in an independent contract between Seller and Purchaser, provided that Seller shall at all times comply with applicable law and the requirements of any applicable insurer or guarantor so that the insurance and any applicable guarantee in respect of any Mortgage Loan is not voided or reduced. Seller shall at all times maintain accurate and complete records of its servicing of each Mortgage Loan, and Purchaser may, at any time during Seller’s business hours, on reasonable notice, examine and make copies of such records. On the 2nd day of each calendar month, or at any other time upon Purchaser’s request Seller shall deliver to Purchaser reports regarding the status of each Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 9(l) and Section 9(m), which shall include, with respect to any MERS Designated Mortgage Loan, MERS Reports, and any circumstances that could materially adversely affect any such Mortgage Loan, Purchaser’s ownership of any such Mortgage Loan or the collateral securing any such Mortgage Loan. The Seller agrees and acknowledges that Purchaser may, at any time, terminate the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by Seller and transfer servicing to another Person on such date as Purchaser may determine in its sole discretion. In the event that anything in this Agreement is interpreted as constituting one or more interim servicing contracts, each such servicing contract shall terminate automatically upon the earlier of (i) the repurchase of a Mortgage Loan by the Seller or (ii) the Purchaser’s notice to Seller directing Seller to transfer servicing (provided, Seller’s obligations as set forth herein to cooperate in the transfer of such servicing shall not terminate until such servicing has actually been transferred in full).
(b) Within two Business Days of notice from Purchaser or with respect to each Mortgage Loan, on the Commitment Expiration Date:
(i) Seller shall establish and maintain a Custodial Account entitled “MortgageIT, Inc., in trust for UBS Warburg Real Estate Securities Inc. and its assignees under the Amended and Restated Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement dated January 10, 2003” and shall promptly deposit into such Custodial Account, in the form received with any necessary endorsements, all collections received in respect of each Mortgage Loan that are payable to Purchaser as the owner of each such Mortgage Loan; and
(ii) at the Purchaser’s sole option, upon written notice from the Purchaser, the Seller shall transfer servicing of the Mortgage Loans to a Successor Servicer designated by the Purchaser.
(c) Amounts deposited in the Custodial Account with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall be held in trust for Purchaser as the owner of such Mortgage Loan and shall be released only as follows:
(i) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4(c), following receipt by Purchaser or its designee of the Takeout Proceeds for such Mortgage Loan from Takeout Investor or Seller amounts deposited in the Custodial Account shall be paid in accordance
14
with Section 2(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, all amounts deposited in the Custodial Account shall be paid to Seller upon the purchase by Takeout Investor of the related Mortgage Loan(s) from Purchaser if, and to the extent that, the amounts due and payable to Purchaser hereunder have been set off against the Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loan or the Performance Fee relating to the Mortgage Loan. The amounts paid to Seller (if any) pursuant to this Section 4(c)(1) shall constitute Seller’s sole compensation for servicing the Mortgage Loans as provided in this Section 4.
(ii) If a Successor Servicer is appointed by Purchaser (either under the circumstances set forth in clause (b)(ii) above, or otherwise), all amounts deposited in the Custodial Account shall be paid to Purchaser promptly upon such delivery.
(iii) During the period that Seller acts as servicer, all amounts deposited in the Custodial Account shall be released only in accordance with Purchaser’s written instructions.
(iv) With respect to a Cash Window Transaction, if a Mortgage Loan is not purchased by the Agency on or before the Cure Expiration Date, during the period thereafter that Seller acts as servicer, all amounts deposited in the Custodial Account shall be released only in accordance with Purchaser’s written instructions.
(d) In the event the Seller or its Affiliate is servicing the Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall permit the Purchaser to inspect the Seller’s or its Affiliate’s servicing facilities, as the case may be, for the purpose of satisfying the Purchaser that the Seller or its Affiliate, as the case may be, has the ability to service the Mortgage Loans as provided in this Agreement.
(e) If the servicer of the Mortgage Loans is Seller or the servicer is an Affiliate of Seller, Seller shall provide to Purchaser a letter from Seller or such Affiliate, as the case may be, to the effect that upon 1 day’s notice from Purchaser, Seller’s rights and obligations to service the Mortgage Loans shall terminate immediately, without any further notice or action by Purchaser and Seller shall transfer servicing to Purchaser’s designee, at no cost or expense to the Purchaser, it being agreed that the Seller will pay any and all fees required to terminate the Servicing Agreement and to effectuate the transfer of servicing to the designee of the Purchaser.
Section 5. Trade Assignments. Seller hereby assigns to Purchaser, free of any security interest, lien, claim or encumbrance of any kind, Seller’s rights, under each Takeout Commitment to the full extent permitted by Takeout Investor, to deliver the Mortgage Loan(s) specified therein to Takeout Investor and to receive the Takeout Proceeds therefor from Takeout Investor. Purchaser shall not be deemed to have accepted such rights of Seller which relate to a particular Mortgage Loan unless and until it purchases the Mortgage Loan, and nothing set forth herein shall be deemed to impair Purchaser’s right to reject any Mortgage Loan for any reason, in its sole discretion.
Section 6. Transfers of Mortgage Loans by Purchaser. Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, assign all of its right, title and interest in or grant a security interest in any Mortgage Loan sold by Seller hereunder and all rights of Purchaser under this Agreement and the Custodial Agreement, in respect of such Mortgage Loan to Assignee, subject only to an
15
obligation on the part of Assignee to deliver each such Mortgage Loan to Takeout Investor pursuant to Section 5 or to Purchaser to permit Purchaser or its designee to make delivery thereof to Takeout Investor pursuant to Section 5. It is anticipated that such assignment to Assignee will be made by Purchaser, and Seller hereby irrevocably consents to such assignment. No notice of such assignment shall be given by Purchaser to Seller or Takeout Investor. Assignment by Purchaser of the Mortgage Loans as provided in this Section 6 shall not release Purchaser from its obligations otherwise under this Agreement.
Without limitation of the foregoing, an assignment of a Mortgage Loan to Assignee, as described in this Section 6, shall be effective upon delivery to Assignee of a Conduit Submission Package.
Section 7. Record Title to Mortgage Loans; Intent of Parties; Security Interest. (a) From and after the delivery of the related Conduit Submission Package, and subject to the remedies of Purchaser in Section 3, Seller 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 a MERS Designated Mortgage Loan) in trust for the benefit of Purchaser, for the sole purpose of facilitating the servicing of such Mortgage Loan.
(b) Seller shall maintain a complete set of books and records for each Mortgage Loan which shall be clearly marked to reflect the ownership interest in each Mortgage Loan of Purchaser and with respect to each MERS Designated Mortgage Loan, Seller shall designate the Purchaser as the Investor and Interim Funder on the MERS® System.
(c) Purchaser and Seller confirm that the transactions contemplated herein are intended to be sales of the Mortgage Loans by Seller to Purchaser rather than borrowings secured by the Mortgage Loans. In the event, for any reason, any transaction is construed by any court or regulatory authority as a borrowing rather than as a sale, the Seller and Purchaser intend that Purchaser or Assignee, as the case may be, shall have a perfected first priority security interest in the Mortgage Loans (including all servicing rights related thereto), any Custodial Accounts, the Takeout Commitments and the proceeds of any and all of the foregoing and, free and clear of adverse claims (collectively, the “Mortgage Collateral”). In such case, Seller shall be deemed to have hereby granted to Purchaser or Assignee, as the case may be, a first priority security interest in and lien upon the Mortgage 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 granted to Purchaser or Assignee, as the case may be, and Purchaser or Assignee, as the case may be, shall have all of the rights of a secured party under applicable law. Seller shall, not later than the date of the first purchase of a Mortgage Loan by Purchaser under this Agreement, deliver to Purchaser a UCC-1 Financing Statement, executed by Seller, containing a description of the Mortgage Collateral in the form attached hereto in Exhibit E.
(d) Seller acknowledges that Purchaser’s purchase of Mortgage Loan hereunder will be based in part on the existence of one or more Takeout Commitments with respect to such Mortgage Loans, Seller’s representations and warranties with respect to such Takeout Commitments and the related Takeout Investors and Seller’s covenants with respect to such Takeout Commitments and Takeout Investors. In order to secure Seller’s obligations with
16
respect thereto, and as a condition to Purchaser’s purchase of any Mortgage Loans hereunder, Seller hereby grants to Purchaser a first priority perfected security interest in and lien upon the Collateral, free and clear of adverse claims. If at any time there exists a Defect Amount, then Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser cash or United States Treasury obligations approved by the Purchaser in an amount equal to the Defect Amount as security for its obligations hereunder. If Purchaser delivers notice of the existence of such Defect Amount (a “Defect Notice”) to Seller on or prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, then Seller shall deliver to Purchaser an amount equal to the Defect Amount no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day. In the event Purchaser delivers a Defect Notice to Seller after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, then such Defect Notice shall be deemed to have been delivered on the following Business Day and Seller shall be required to deliver to Purchaser an amount equal to the Defect Amount no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such subsequent Business Day. At such time as a Defect Amount ceases to exist or Seller has delivered cash or United States Treasury obligations in an amount in excess of such Defect Amount to Purchaser (such amounts the “Repurchase Excesses”) pursuant to this Section 7(d), Purchaser shall remit to Seller such Repurchase Excesses. In the event Purchaser determines that Seller fails to perform in any material respect any of its obligations with respect to any Takeout Commitment or Takeout Investor, or any of Seller’s representations, warranties or covenants with respect thereto, Purchaser shall have all rights and remedies available to it with respect to the Collateral under applicable law. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Purchaser provided by this Agreement and by law, Purchaser shall have the right, without prior notice to the Seller, any such notice being expressly waived by the Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Seller hereunder to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Seller.
