MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of July 15, 2022, by and among Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Bank USA, a national banking institution (“Buyer”), Radian Liberty Funding LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), and Radian Mortgage Capital LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Guarantor”).

RECITALS

Seller has requested Buyer to enter into transactions with Seller whereby Seller may, from time to time, sell to Buyer a Participation Interest in certain residential mortgage loans (including, with respect to the Servicing Released Loans, the Servicing Rights released thereto) and/or other mortgage related assets and interests, against the transfer of funds by Buyer, with a simultaneous agreement by Buyer to sell to Seller such purchased assets at a date certain or on demand after the Purchase Date, against the transfer of funds by Seller (each such transaction, a “Transaction”).

Buyer has agreed to enter into such Transactions, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual rights and obligations provided herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, Seller, Guarantor and Buyer agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

DEFINITIONS AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSTRUCTION

1.1

Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in Exhibit A hereto, unless the context otherwise requires. All such defined terms shall, unless specifically provided to the contrary, have the defined meanings set forth herein when used in any other agreement, certificate or document made or delivered pursuant hereto.

1.2

Interpretation; Principles of Construction. The following rules of this Section 1.2 apply to all Principal Agreements unless the context requires otherwise. A gender includes all genders. Where a word or phrase is defined, its other grammatical forms have a corresponding meaning. A reference to a subsection, Section, Schedule or Exhibit is, unless otherwise specified, a reference to a subsection or Section of, or schedule or exhibit to, this Agreement. A reference to a party to this Agreement or another agreement or document includes the party’s successors and permitted substitutes or assigns. A reference to an agreement or document (including any Principal Agreement) is to the agreement or document as amended, modified, novated, supplemented or replaced, except to the extent prohibited thereby or by any Principal Agreement and in effect from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof. A reference to legislation or to a provision of legislation includes a modification or re-enactment of it, a legislative provision substituted for it and a regulation or statutory instrument issued under it. A reference to writing includes an electronic transmission and any means of reproducing words in a tangible and permanently visible form. A reference to conduct includes, without limitation, an omission, statement or undertaking, whether or not in writing. The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder” and similar words refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The term “including” is not limiting and means “including without limitation.” In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and including,” the words “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding,” and the word “through” means “to and including.”

Except where otherwise provided in this Agreement, any determination, consent, approval, statement or certificate made or confirmed in writing with notice to Seller by Buyer or an authorized officer of Buyer provided for in this Agreement is conclusive and binds the parties in the absence of manifest error. A reference to an agreement includes a security interest, guarantee, agreement or legally enforceable arrangement whether or not in writing related to such agreement.

A reference to a document includes an agreement (as so defined) in writing or a certificate, notice, instrument or document, or any information recorded in electronic form. Where Seller is required to provide any document to Buyer under the terms of this Agreement, the relevant document shall be provided in writing in electronic form unless Buyer requests otherwise.

This Agreement is the result of negotiations among, and has been reviewed by counsel to, Buyer and Seller, and is the product of all parties. In the interpretation of this Agreement, no rule of construction shall apply to disadvantage one party on the ground that such party proposed or was involved in the preparation of any particular provision of this Agreement or this Agreement itself. Except where otherwise expressly stated, Buyer may give or withhold, in good faith or give conditionally, approvals and consents and may form opinions and make determinations at its sole and absolute discretion. All determinations by Buyer at its sole or absolute discretion shall be made in good faith. Any requirement of good faith, discretion or judgment by Buyer shall not be construed to require Buyer to request or await receipt of information or documentation not immediately available from or with respect to Seller, a servicer of the Related Mortgage Loans, any other Person or the Purchased Assets themselves. All references herein or in any Principal Agreement to “good faith” means good faith as defined in Section 1-201(b)(20) of the Uniform Commercial Code.

ARTICLE 2

AMOUNT AND TERMS OF TRANSACTIONS

2.1

Agreement to Enter into Transactions. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and provided that no Event of Default, Event of Early Termination, Potential Default or Cease Funding Event has occurred and is continuing, Buyer may, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, enter into Transactions with Seller; provided, however, that (a) the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price as of any date shall not exceed the Aggregate Transaction Limit and (b) the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price for any Type of Transaction shall not exceed the applicable Type Sublimit, any Credit Limit or any Concentration Limit (other than with respect to any Concentration Limit Exception Loan). Buyer shall have the obligation to enter into Transactions with an Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price equal to or less than the Committed Amount, and Buyer shall have no obligation to enter into Transactions with respect to the Uncommitted Amount. All purchases of Purchased Assets shall be first deemed funded up to the Committed Amount and then the remainder, if any, shall be deemed funded up to the Uncommitted Amount. This Agreement is not a commitment to enter into Transactions with respect to the Uncommitted Amount with Seller but rather sets forth the procedures to be used in connection with any request for Buyer to enter into Transactions with respect to the Uncommitted Amount with Seller from time to time during the term of this Agreement and, if Buyer enters into Transactions with Seller with respect to the Uncommitted Amount, Seller’s obligations with respect thereto. NOTWITHSTANDING THE WILLINGNESS OF BUYER FROM TIME TO TIME TO CONSIDER ENTERING INTO TRANSACTIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE UNCOMMITTED AMOUNT HEREUNDER, THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER PRINCIPAL AGREEMENTS ARE ENTERED INTO ON THE EXPRESS UNDERSTANDING THAT

BUYER SHALL NOT BE OBLIGATED TO ENTER INTO ANY TRANSACTION WITH RESPECT TO THE UNCOMMITTED AMOUNT HEREUNDER, AND THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER PRINCIPAL AGREEMENTS SHALL IN NO WAY BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY BUYER TO ENTER INTO ANY TRANSACTION WITH RESPECT TO THE UNCOMMITTED AMOUNT. BUYER’S ENTRY INTO A TRANSACTION WITH RESPECT TO THE UNCOMMITTED AMOUNT HEREUNDER SHALL NOT OBLIGATE BUYER TO ENTER INTO ANY FUTURE TRANSACTIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE UNCOMMITTED AMOUNT HEREUNDER. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, ONCE BUYER HAS PURCHASED A PURCHASED ASSET WITH RESPECT TO THE UNCOMMITTED AMOUNT, THE BUYER CANNOT REQUIRE THE SELLER TO REPURCHASE SUCH PURCHASED ASSET PRIOR TO THE REPURCHASE DATE UNLESS SUCH ASSET IS A DEFECTIVE ASSET OR THERE IS A REPURCHASE ACCELERATION EVENT.

2.2	Transaction Limits. The Aggregate Transaction Limit and each Type Sublimit shall be as set forth in the Transactions Terms Letter.

2.3

Description of Purchased Assets. With respect to each Transaction, Seller shall cause to be maintained with Buyer Purchased Assets with an Asset Value not less than, at any date, the related Purchase Price for such Transaction. With respect to each Transaction, the type of Purchased Asset shall be one of the types of Assets as specified in the Transactions Terms Letter as the Type, and in each case shall consist of the type of mortgage loans, mortgage related securities, or interests therein as described in Bankruptcy Code Section 101(47)(A). If there is uncertainty as to the Type of a Purchased Asset, Buyer shall determine the correct Type for such Purchased Asset.

2.4	Maximum Transaction Amounts. The Purchase Price for each proposed Transaction shall not exceed the least of:

(a)	the product of the applicable Type Sublimit (expressed as a decimal and as determined by the Type of Purchased Asset) and the Aggregate Transaction Limit (after giving effect to all Transactions then subject to the Agreement);

(b)	the Aggregate Transaction Limit minus the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price of all other Transactions outstanding, if any; and

(c)	the Asset Value of the related Purchased Asset(s).

2.5	Use of Proceeds. Seller shall use the Purchase Price of each Transaction solely for the purpose of originating the related Purchased Asset(s) and/or acquiring the related Purchased Asset(s) from an Approved Seller/Originator.

2.6	Price Differential.

(a)

Price Differential. Notwithstanding that Buyer and Seller intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales by Seller to Buyer of the Purchased Assets for all purposes except accounting and tax purposes, Seller shall pay Buyer accrued interest on the Purchase Price for each Purchased Asset calculated from the Purchase Date until, but not including, the date on which the Repurchase Price is paid, in an amount equal to the Price Differential; provided that if the Repurchase Price for a Transaction is not paid by Seller when due (whether at the Repurchase Date, upon acceleration or otherwise), the Repurchase Price shall bear a Price Differential from the date due until paid in full at an annual rate equal to the Default Rate. For the avoidance of doubt, upon and after the occurrence of an Aging Event with respect to a Purchased Asset, the Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset shall bear a Price Differential at an annual rate equal to the sum of the Applicable Pricing Rate plus the Type Margin for an Aging Event Asset.

(b)

Time for Payment. Price Differential with respect to any Purchased Asset shall be due and payable on the Price Differential Date occurring in the month following the related Purchase Date and thereafter on each subsequent Price Differential Date based in each case upon an invoice provided by Buyer to Seller three (3) Business Days before such Price Differential Date setting forth the Price Differential accrued during the Collection Period immediately preceding such Price Differential Date and to be applied pursuant to Section 4.8, provided, that, to the extent such amounts in the Funding Deposit Account do not provide for payment in full of the Price Differential in accordance with Section 4.8, Seller shall immediately remit such Price Differential to Buyer in accordance with Buyer’s wire instructions set forth on Exhibit F. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.6(b), in the event the Asset Value of any Purchased Asset is marked to zero and Seller requests Buyer to release its security interest in such Purchased Asset or any Purchased Items related thereto, Buyer shall not release any such security interest therein unless and until Seller shall have paid to Buyer the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset.

(c)	Computations. All computations of Price Differential and fees payable hereunder shall be based upon the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the relevant period, and a three-hundred sixty (360) day year.

2.7

Terms and Conditions of Transactions. The terms and conditions of the Transactions as set forth in the Transactions Terms Letter, this Agreement or otherwise may be changed from time to time by mutual agreement between Buyer and Seller. The terms and conditions of the Transactions Terms Letter are hereby incorporated and form a part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein; provided, however, to the extent of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Transactions Terms Letter, the Transactions Terms Letter shall control.

ARTICLE 3

Buyer shall be under no obligation to enter into any Transaction or Transactions requested by Seller if the Purchase Price relates to the Uncommitted Amount. Assuming the satisfaction of all conditions precedent set forth in Article 7, Buyer may, for any Transaction with respect to the Uncommitted Amount and shall, for any Transaction with respect to the Committed Amount, confirm to Seller the terms of Transactions electronically or in writing. Buyer reserves the right to reject any Transaction Request that Buyer determines fails to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(b)	[Reserved].

In addition, unless the transaction is subject to any Joint Securities Account Control Agreement, any Joint Account Control Agreement and/or any Escrow Agreement, Guarantor shall deliver to Buyer or its designee a duly executed Trade Assignment, as applicable, together with a true and complete copy of the Purchase Commitment with respect to the related Mortgage-Backed Security in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of Sections 7.2(e) and 7.2(p).

(d)	[Reserved].

(e)

Mortgage Loan Documents in Guarantor’s Possession. At all times during which the Mortgage Loan Documents related to any Related Mortgage Loan are in the possession of Guarantor, and until the Purchased Mortgage Loan related to such Related Mortgage Loan is repurchased, Guarantor shall hold such Mortgage Loan Documents in trust separate and apart from Guarantor’s own documents and assets and for the exclusive benefit of Buyer and shall act only in accordance with Buyer’s written instructions thereto. Such Mortgage Loan Documents should be clearly marked as subject to delivery to Buyer.

(f)

Other Mortgage Loan Documents in Guarantor’s Possession. With respect to each Related Mortgage Loan, until the Purchased Mortgage Loan related to such Related Mortgage Loan is repurchased, Guarantor shall hold in trust separate and apart from Guarantor’s own documents and assets and for the exclusive benefit of Buyer all mortgage loan documents related to such Related Mortgage Loan and not delivered to Buyer, including, without limitation, the Other Mortgage Loan Documents, as applicable. All such mortgage loan documents shall be clearly marked as subject to the ownership of Buyer.

3.3

Haircut. With respect to each Transaction for which Seller has requested Buyer fund the Purchase Price and the related Haircut to the related Approved Payee, Seller shall ensure that there are sufficient funds on deposit in the Funding Deposit Account such that following the withdrawal of the Haircut related to such Transaction by the Buyer, the balance of the Funding Deposit Account is equal to or greater than $0.00.

3.4	[Reserved.]

3.5	Payment of Purchase Price.

(a)

Payment of Purchase Price. On the Purchase Date for each Transaction, ownership of the Purchased Assets shall be transferred to Buyer against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price to Seller, or on behalf of Seller to an Approved Payee, as applicable, and simultaneously with the delivery to Buyer (or the Custodian on its behalf) of the Purchased Assets relating to each Transaction. With respect to the Purchased Assets being sold by Seller on the Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells, transfers, conveys and assigns to Buyer or its designee without recourse, but subject to the terms of this Agreement, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets, together with all right, title and interest of Seller in and to all amounts due and payable under the terms of such Purchased Assets.

(b)

Methods of Payment. On or prior to the Purchase Date for each Transaction, subject to the satisfaction of all conditions precedent set forth in Section 7.1 (with respect to the Initial Transaction) and Section 7.2 (with respect to all Transactions) and as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, Buyer shall remit or cause to be remitted by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to the Purchase Price (and, if requested by Seller in the related Transaction Request, the Haircut; provided, that, Seller has, or has caused, the Haircut to first be remitted to the Funding Deposit Account prior to the consummation of such Transaction) for all Transactions described in the applicable Transaction Request in accordance with Seller’s wire instructions set forth in the applicable Transaction Request to Guarantor or to its Approved Payee, as applicable, provided that such Transaction Request is received by Buyer on or prior to two (2) Business Days prior to such Purchase Date. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall not be required to remit the Haircut to any Approved Payee prior to the transfer by Seller of such amount into the Funding Deposit account in immediately available funds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not be obligated to pay the Purchase Price or the related Haircut, if applicable, under any method of payment to any Person that is not an Approved Payee. Further, the payment of the Purchase Price, and the related Haircut, if applicable, by Buyer to any Person that is not an Approved Payee shall not make such Person an Approved Payee. Any funds disbursed by Buyer to Guarantor or its Approved Payee shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws, including, without limitation, regulations and policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System on Reduction of Payments System Risk. Each of Guarantor and Seller acknowledges that as a result of Buyer’s compliance with such applicable laws, regulations and policies, or equipment malfunction beyond the reasonable control of Buyer, the payment of a Purchase Price and the related Haircut, if applicable, may be delayed. Buyer shall not be liable to Seller or Guarantor for any costs, losses or damages arising from or relating to any such delays.

3.6	Approved Seller/Originator.

(a)

Approved Seller/Originator of Guarantor. In order for a seller or originator of mortgage loans to be designated an Approved Seller/Originator with respect to any Mortgage Loan, Guarantor shall have approved such seller and/or originator, as applicable, pursuant to a process and standards approved by Buyer, in Buyer’s sole discretion.

(b)	Correspondent of Guarantor. In order for a correspondent of Guarantor to be designated an Approved Seller/Originator with respect to any Mortgage Loan, Guarantor shall have approved such correspondent pursuant to a process and standards approved by Buyer, in Buyer’s sole discretion.

(c)

Approval Process. Upon approval by Guarantor in accordance with this Section 3.6, such originator, correspondent or seller, as applicable, shall be an Approved Seller/Originator with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Buyer may withdraw its approval of any originator, correspondent or seller as an Approved Seller/Originator if Buyer becomes aware of any facts or circumstances at any time related to such correspondent or seller which Buyer determines in its sole discretion materially and adversely affects the correspondent or otherwise makes the originator, correspondent or seller unacceptable as an Approved Seller/Originator. Buyer shall promptly notify Seller or Guarantor of any withdrawal of approval of an Approved Seller/Originator.

3.7

Delivery of Mortgage-Backed Securities. With respect to Related Mortgage Loans that are Pooled Mortgage Loans, Buyer shall release its interests in the Purchased Mortgage Loan related to such Related Mortgage Loans simultaneously with the Settlement Date of a Mortgage-Backed Security backed by a Pool containing Related Mortgage Loans. Provided that such Mortgage-Backed Security has been issued to the Depository in the name of Buyer or Buyer’s nominee, from and after such Settlement Date, the Mortgage-Backed Security shall replace the related Related Mortgage Loan as asset related to the Asset that is subject to the related Transaction.

ARTICLE 4

REPURCHASE

4.1	Repurchase Price.

(a)

Payment of Repurchase Price. The Repurchase Price for each applicable Purchased Asset shall be payable in full by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Funding Deposit Account in accordance with Buyer’s wire instructions set forth on Exhibit F upon the earliest to occur of (i) the Repurchase Date of the related Purchased Asset, (ii) at Buyer’s sole option, upon the occurrence of any Repurchase Acceleration Event with respect to such Purchased Asset, (iii) at Buyer’s sole option, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, or (iv) the Facility Termination Date. Such obligation to repurchase exists without regard to any prior or intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to any Purchased Asset. While it is anticipated that Seller will repurchase each Purchased Asset on its related Repurchase Date, Seller may repurchase and Buyer will sell any Purchased Asset hereunder on demand to Seller without any prepayment penalty or premium. In such circumstance, Buyer shall apply the Repurchase Price received from Seller in accordance with Section 4.8.

(b)

Effect of Payment of Repurchase Price. On the Repurchase Date (or such other date on which the Repurchase Price is received in full by Buyer), termination of the related Transaction will be effected by the repurchase by Seller or its designee of the Purchased Assets and any related Purchased Items and the simultaneous transfer of the Repurchase Price to an account of Buyer (in each case subject to the provisions of Section 6.4), and all of Buyer’s rights, title and interests therein shall then be conveyed to Seller or its designee; provided that, Buyer shall not be deemed to have terminated or conveyed its interest in such Purchased Assets and any related Purchased Items if an Event of Default shall then be continuing or shall be caused by such repurchase or if such repurchase gives rise to or perpetuates a Margin Deficit that is not satisfied in accordance with Section 6.3(b). With respect to Related Mortgage Loans, Seller is obligated to obtain the related Mortgage Loan Documents from the Custodian at Seller’s expense on or following the Repurchase Date. On each Repurchase Date (or such other date on which the Repurchase Price, less any Price Differential due on the next succeeding Price Differential Date, is received in full by Buyer), Buyer shall be deemed to have simultaneously released the pledge of the applicable Purchased Asset and any related Purchased Items in each case without any further action by Buyer or any other Person and such Purchased Asset and any related Purchased Items shall be transferred to Seller or its designee free and clear of any liens, pledges or encumbrances. On the Repurchase Date (or such other date on which the Repurchase Price is received in full by Buyer), Seller shall, with the prior written consent of Buyer, take such action that is necessary to revise the Participation Certificate (as defined in the Participation Agreement) to reflect the removal of the applicable Related Mortgage Loans or Mortgage-Backed Securities, as applicable, with respect to the applicable Purchased Assets and any related Purchased Items, and Seller shall provide Buyer with evidence of the same. Any such transfer or release shall be without recourse to Buyer and without representation or warranty by Buyer, except that Buyer shall represent to Seller, to the extent that good title was transferred and assigned by Seller to Buyer hereunder on the related Purchase Date, that Buyer is the sole owner of such Purchased Asset and any related Purchased Items, free and clear of any other interests or Liens caused by Buyer’s actions or inactions.

4.2	Repurchase Acceleration Events. In respect of any Purchased Asset, the occurrence of any of the following events shall be a Repurchase Acceleration Event with respect to one or more Purchased Assets, as the case may be:

(a)	Buyer has determined that the Purchased Asset is a Defective Asset;

In lieu of requiring full repayment of the Repurchase Price upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Acceleration Event, Buyer may elect to reduce the Asset Value of the related Purchased Asset (to as low as zero) and accordingly require a full or partial repayment of such Repurchase Price or the delivery of other funds or collateral, which additional assets shall be “margin payments” or “settlement payments” as such terms are defined in Bankruptcy Code Sections 741(5) and (8), respectively.

4.4

Illegality or Impracticability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Buyer determines that any law, regulation, treaty or directive or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, or any circumstance materially and adversely affecting the repurchase market for mortgage loans or mortgage-backed securities or the source or cost of Buyer’s funds, in any case shall make it unlawful for Buyer to enter into or maintain Transactions as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) Buyer shall cease to have any obligation hereunder to enter into or to continue to maintain Transactions and any such obligations shall be cancelled and (b) the Repurchase Price for each Transaction then outstanding shall be due and payable upon the earliest to occur of (i) the date required by any financial institution providing funds to Buyer, (ii) the sale of the Purchased Assets in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement; it being understood that this clause (ii) does not expand Buyer’s rights to sell such Purchased Assets beyond the rights otherwise afforded to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and (iii) the date as of which Buyer determines that such Transactions are unlawful to maintain.

or any other acquisition of funds by any office of Buyer which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Applicable Pricing Rate hereunder, or (iii) imposes on Buyer any other condition, the result of which is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount which Buyer reasonably deems to be material, of effecting or maintaining purchases hereunder, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Seller shall, at its option and in its sole and absolute discretion, either (1) terminate all of the Transactions and repurchase all of the Purchased Assets without penalty or payment of such additional amounts, Exit Fee or similar fee or cost or (2) promptly pay Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable thereafter incurred; provided that Buyer shall deliver written notice to Seller of any such increased cost or reduced amount receivable within thirty (30) days of incurring such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.

(a)

Applicable Pricing Rate Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Principal Agreement, if an Applicable Pricing Rate Transition Event and its related Applicable Pricing Rate Replacement Date have occurred, the Applicable Pricing Rate Replacement will replace the then-current Applicable Pricing Rate for all purposes for the applicable time period hereunder, or under any Principal Agreement, in respect of all determinations of the Applicable Pricing Rate at any time following 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Applicable Pricing Rate Replacement is provided by Buyer to Seller without any amendment to this Agreement or further action or consent of any other party; provided that if Seller repurchases the Purchased Assets, then no determination, decision or election made by Buyer pursuant to this Section 4.6 shall result in a penalty or payment of any additional amounts, Exit Fee or similar fee by Seller.

(b)

Applicable Pricing Rate Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of an Applicable Pricing Rate Replacement, Buyer shall have the right to make Applicable Pricing Rate Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Principal Agreement, any amendments implementing such Applicable Pricing Rate Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party.

Buyer shall promptly notify the parties of (i) any occurrence of an Applicable Pricing Rate Transition Event and its related Applicable Pricing Rate Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Applicable Pricing Rate Replacement, and (iii) the effectiveness of any Applicable Pricing Rate Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Buyer pursuant to this Section 4.6, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from any other party.

4.7

Payments Pursuant to Sale to Takeout Investors. Seller or Guarantor shall direct each Takeout Investor purchasing a Purchased Asset, Mortgage-Backed Security with respect to a Purchased Asset or Related Mortgage Loan to pay directly to Buyer or its designee in accordance with the Buyer’s wire instructions set forth on Exhibit F or, if applicable, any Joint Account Control Agreement and/or any Escrow Agreement, as directed by Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Funding Deposit Account, the applicable Takeout Price in full and without set-off on the date set forth in the applicable Purchase Commitment. In addition, Seller or Guarantor shall provide Buyer with a Purchase Advice relating to such payment. Neither Seller nor Guarantor shall direct the Takeout Investor to pay to Buyer an amount less than the full Takeout Price or modify or otherwise change the wire instructions for payment of the Takeout Price provided to Takeout Investor by Buyer. Buyer shall apply all amounts received from a Takeout Investor for the account of Seller in accordance with Section 4.8, subject to Section 4.13. Buyer may reject any such shortfalls, any amount received from a Takeout Investor and not release the related Purchased Asset, Mortgage-Backed Security with respect to a Purchased Asset or Related Mortgage Loan if (a) Buyer does not receive a Purchase Advice in respect of any wire transfer, (b) Buyer does not receive the full Takeout Price, without set-off or (c) the amount received is not sufficient to pay the related Repurchase Price in full. Alternatively, in lieu of rejecting an amount received by Buyer from a Takeout Investor, at Buyer’s option, if the amount received from the Takeout Investor does not equal or exceed the related Repurchase Price, Buyer may accept the amount received from the Takeout Investor and demand payment of such remaining amount from Seller and Seller, upon receipt of such demand from Buyer, shall immediately pay Buyer such remaining amount. If Seller or Guarantor receives any funds intended for Buyer, Seller or Guarantor shall segregate and hold such funds in trust for Buyer and immediately pay to Buyer all such amounts by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Funding Deposit Account in accordance with Buyer’s wire instructions set forth on Exhibit F together with providing Buyer with a settlement statement for the transaction.

4.8

Distributions of Funds from the Funding Deposit Account. On or prior to the Business Day preceding each Price Differential Date, Guarantor shall cause all funds held in the Custodial Account to be transferred to and deposited into the Funding Deposit Account. Buyer shall cause funds paid by Seller, any Servicer or a Takeout Investor and on deposit in the Funding Deposit Account to be applied by Buyer on each Price Differential Date as follows:

(A)

first, to the extent not previously paid under the applicable Servicing Agreement, to pay, pro rata, the following amounts, including any amounts remaining unpaid from prior Price Differential Dates, to each Servicer based on amounts owed and taking into account any limit imposed by the cap set forth in the proviso below to this clause (A), any servicing fees, unreimbursed servicing advances and indemnities due and owing under the applicable Servicing Agreement as of such Price Differential Date; provided, however, that such amounts paid to Servicers on such Price Differential Date pursuant to this clause (A) shall not exceed the Extraordinary Servicing Expenses Cap;

(B)

second, to Buyer to pay (i) any Price Differential then due and owing, (ii) any outstanding Repurchase Price of any Resolved Asset; provided, however, that Buyer shall be entitled, in its sole and absolute discretion, to not apply any portion of such Repurchase Price included in the Repurchase Price pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of “Repurchase Price” and instead, to include such portion of such Repurchase Price in a subsequent invoice provided by Buyer to Seller pursuant to Section 2.6(b), (iii) any increased costs, Indemnified Taxes and all other costs, fees, expenses, indemnity amounts then due and payable by Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Principal Agreement;

(C)

third, to Buyer to satisfy any outstanding Margin Deficit as provided in Section 6.3(b); and

(D)

fourth, subject to Section 4.13, to Seller, by remitting such amounts to the Guarantor’s operating account as directed in writing by Guarantor to Buyer, or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to Buyer in accordance with Buyer’s wire instructions set forth on Exhibit F.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and Seller agree that all funds received in the Funding Deposit Account before 6:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day shall be recorded and reported as received on such Business Day and all distributions made pursuant to this Section 4.8 shall be made as if such funds were applied in accordance with this Section 4.8 on the Business Day that such funds were received in the Funding Deposit Account as long as such funds were received before 6:00 p.m. (New York City time). Funds received after 6:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall be treated as if received on the next Business Day.

Further, Buyer and Seller intend and agree that all such payments shall be “settlement payments” as such term is defined in Bankruptcy Code Section 741(8).

4.9

Method of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments hereunder must be received by Buyer on the date when due and shall be made in United States dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Funding Deposit Account in accordance with Buyer’s wire instructions set forth on Exhibit F. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be the succeeding Business Day, and with respect to payments of the Purchase Price, the Price Differential thereon shall be payable at an annual rate equal to the sum of the Applicable Pricing Rate plus the applicable Type Margin during such extension. All payments made by or on behalf of Seller with respect to any Transaction shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.13 and Section 4.8 and shall be made in such amounts as may be necessary in order that all such payments after withholding for or on account of any present or future Indemnified Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority, compensate Buyer for any additional cost or reduced amount receivable of making or maintaining Transactions as a result of such Indemnified Taxes, as set forth, and subject to, Sections 4.5 and 12.3. Any payments received by Buyer after 6:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall be applied in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence on the succeeding Business Day. All payments to be made by or on behalf of Seller with respect to any Transaction shall be made without set-off, counterclaim or other defense, unless otherwise expressly permitted by Buyer in writing in Buyer’s sole discretion.

4.10

Authorization to Debit. In addition to any other authorizations to and rights of Buyer hereunder, each of Guarantor and Seller hereby expressly authorizes Buyer to debit any account maintained by Guarantor or Seller with Buyer into which any funds related to the Purchased Assets or related Purchased Items have been deposited (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any escrow accounts maintained for the benefit of the related Mortgagors), including without limitation, any operating, settlement or custodial account, for any and all amounts due Buyer hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing debit rights of Buyer shall not apply to Purchased Assets which have been repurchased by Seller pursuant to Section 6.4.

Book Account. Buyer and Seller shall maintain an account on their respective books of all Transactions entered into between Buyer and Seller and for which the Repurchase Price has not yet been paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be responsible for maintaining its own book account and records of Transactions entered into with Buyer, amounts due to Buyer in connection with such Transactions and for paying such amounts when due. Failure of Seller to maintain an account on its books with information regarding any Transaction shall not excuse Seller’s timely performance of all obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, payment obligations under this Agreement.

4.12	Full Recourse. The obligations of Seller from time to time to pay the Repurchase Price, Margin Deficit payments, settlement payments and all other amounts due under this Agreement shall be full recourse obligations of Seller.

4.13

Payments to Seller. Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid to, Guarantor, by remitting such amounts to the Guarantor’s operating account as directed in writing by Guarantor to Buyer, or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the direction of Buyer, all amounts in excess of those amounts due to Buyer in accordance with the Principal Agreements on the Business Day immediately following the Business Day on which both (1) a payment by Guarantor, Seller or a Takeout Investor pursuant to a Purchase Commitment and (2) a Purchase Advice relating to such payment without discrepancy has been made to the Funding Deposit Account in accordance with Buyer’s wire instructions set forth on Exhibit F; provided, that Buyer and Seller agree that all amounts received in accordance with this Section 4.13 in the Funding Deposit Account pursuant to a Purchase Commitment before 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day shall be recorded and reported as received on such Business Day and all remittances pursuant to this Section 4.13 shall be made as if such amounts were remitted on the Business Day that such amounts were received in accordance with this Section 4.13 in the Funding Deposit Account as long as such amounts were received before 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) in accordance with this Section 4.13. Amounts received after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to notify Seller if there is a discrepancy between a wire transfer and the related Purchase Advice, and thereafter, Seller shall notify Buyer as to whether Buyer should accept such settlement payment despite the discrepancy between the amount received and the related Purchase Advice; provided, however, that if an Event of Default, Event of Early Termination or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer is not obligated to receive approval from Seller prior to accepting any amounts received and releasing the related Purchased Assets.

4.14

Voluntary Surrender of Approvals. If Guarantor voluntarily chooses to surrender its Approvals with one or more Agencies in accordance with the proviso included in Section 8.1(v), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (a) solely with respect to any Committed Amount, Buyer shall cease to have any obligation hereunder to enter into Transactions involving the related Agency Eligible Mortgage Loans and any such obligations shall be cancelled and (b) the Repurchase Price for each Transaction involving the related Agency Eligible Mortgage Loans then outstanding shall be due and payable within ninety (90) calendar days after the earlier of (A) written notice of such voluntary surrender shall have been given to Seller by Buyer or (B) the date of such voluntary surrender. Buyer shall not be liable to Seller or Guarantor for any costs, losses or damages arising from or relating to any actions taken by Buyer pursuant to this Section 4.14.

ARTICLE 6

SECURITY; SERVICING; MARGIN ACCOUNT MAINTENANCE; CUSTODY OF

MORTGAGE LOAN DOCUMENTS; REPURCHASE TRANSACTIONS; DUE DILIGENCE

6.1

Precautionary Grant of Security Interest in Purchased Assets and Purchased Items. With respect to the Purchased Assets, although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases (other than for accounting and tax purposes) and not loans, and without prejudice to the provisions of Section 6.5 and the expressed intent of the parties, if any Transactions are deemed to be loans, as security for the performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder, Seller hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Buyer a continuing first priority security interest in and lien upon the Purchased Assets and related Purchased Items and Buyer shall have all the rights and remedies of a “secured party” under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the Purchased Assets and related Purchased Items. Possession of any promissory notes, instruments or documents by the Custodian shall constitute possession on behalf of Buyer.

Solely with respect to the Servicing Released Loans, each of Seller and Guarantor acknowledges that Buyer is the owner of a Participation Interest in the Servicing Rights related to any such Related Mortgage Loan, but, for the avoidance of doubt, Buyer acknowledges that Guarantor retains legal title to the Servicing Rights in respect of the Servicing Released Loans constituting the Purchased Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, if any determination is made that a Participation Interest in the Servicing Rights related to any Servicing Released Loan were not sold to Buyer or that the Servicing Rights are not an interest in such Servicing Released Loan and are severable from such Servicing Released Loan despite Buyer’s, Guarantor’s and Seller’s express intent herein and the other Principal Agreement to treat a Participation Interest in them as included in the purchase and sale transaction, each of Guarantor and Seller hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Buyer a continuing first priority security interest in and lien upon the Servicing Rights related to such Servicing Released Loans, and Buyer shall have all the rights and remedies of a “secured party” under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect thereto. In addition, each of Guarantor and Seller further grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a first priority security interest in and lien upon its rights to (i) all documentation and rights to receive documentation related to such Servicing Rights and the servicing of each of the Related Mortgage Loans that is a Servicing Released Loan, (ii) all Income related to the Purchased Assets received by Guarantor or Seller, (iii) all rights to receive such Income, (iv) all other Purchased Items, and (v) all products, proceeds and distributions relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing (collectively, and together with the pledge of Servicing Rights in the immediately preceding sentence, the “Related Credit Enhancement”). The Related Credit Enhancement is hereby pledged as further security for Guarantor’s and Seller’s obligations to Buyer hereunder and under any other Principal Agreement.

At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Buyer, and at the sole expense of Seller, Seller will promptly and duly execute and deliver, or will promptly cause to be executed and delivered, such further instruments and documents and take such further action as Buyer may request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the Purchased Assets and related Purchased Items and the liens created hereby. Seller also hereby authorizes Buyer to file any such financing or continuation statement in a manner consistent with this Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable law. For purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code and all other relevant purposes, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement.

6.2	Servicing.

(a)	Servicing. With respect to all Related Mortgage Loans, Seller or Guarantor shall, on Buyer’s behalf, contract with a Servicer to service the Related Mortgage Loans pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement and Servicer Notice.

(b)

Appointment of Servicer. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and for so long as the Event of Default is continuing, Buyer shall have the right to direct the servicing of the Related Mortgage Loans subject to the applicable Servicing Agreement and Servicer Notice, if any, and in the event Guarantor is servicing such Mortgage Loans directly (i.e., without the use of any other Servicer), then Buyer may, in its sole discretion, appoint a successor servicer to service any Related Mortgage Loan (each a “Successor Servicer”). In the event of such an appointment, Guarantor and Seller, as applicable, shall perform all acts and take all action so that any part of the Mortgage Loan File and related Servicing Records held by Guarantor or Seller, together with all funds in the Custodial Account and other receipts relating to such Related Mortgage Loan, are promptly delivered to the Successor Servicer. Guarantor and Seller shall have no claim for servicing fees, lost profits or other damages if Buyer appoints a Successor Servicer in accordance with this Section 6.2(b). Solely with respect to Servicing Released Loans, the fact that a Servicer may be entitled to a servicing fee for interim servicing of such Servicing Released Loans or that Buyer may provide a separate notice of default to a Servicer regarding the servicing of such Servicing Released Loans shall not affect or otherwise change Buyer’s ownership of a Participation Interest in the Servicing Rights related to such Servicing Released Loans.

(c)

Interim Servicing Period; No Servicing Fee or Income. With respect to any Servicing Released Loan, Buyer shall have no right to terminate Guarantor or Servicer, as applicable, as the interim servicer other than upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Servicer Termination Event, subject to Seller’s appointment right set forth in the first sentence of Section 6.2(m).

(d)

Servicing Agreement. If there is a Servicer of the Related Mortgage Loans other than Guarantor, Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer, Seller or Guarantor may, in either case in its discretion, enter into a Servicing Agreement and a Servicer Notice with such Servicer, which such Servicing Agreement shall be acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion, and such Servicer Notice shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G or such other form approved by Buyer in the sole discretion of Buyer. Without the prior written consent of Buyer, exercised in Buyer’s sole discretion, neither Guarantor nor Seller shall agree to (1) any material, in Buyer’s sole discretion, modification, amendment or waiver of any Servicing Agreement, (2) any termination of any Servicing Agreement or (3) the assignment, transfer, or material deletion of any of its rights or obligations (in respect of any Related Mortgage Loan) under any Servicing Agreement.

(e)	Servicing Obligations of Seller and Guarantor. Guarantor shall, or pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement, Seller or Guarantor, as applicable, shall cause, each Servicer to:

(i)

service and administer the Related Mortgage Loans in accordance with prudent mortgage loan servicing standards and procedures generally accepted in the mortgage banking industry and in accordance with the degree of care and servicing standards generally prevailing in the industry, including all applicable requirements of the Agency Guides, applicable law, FHA Regulations, VA Regulations and RD Regulations, the requirements of any private mortgage insurer, as applicable, and the requirements of any applicable Purchase Commitment and the related Takeout Investor, so that neither the eligibility of the Related Mortgage Loan and any related Mortgage-Backed Security for purchase under such Purchase Commitment nor the FHA Mortgage Insurance, VA Loan Guaranty Agreement, RD Loan Guaranty Agreement or any other applicable insurance or guarantee in respect of any such Related Mortgage Loan, if any, is voided or reduced by such servicing and administration;

(ii)

subject to Section 6.2(g), and to the extent not otherwise held by the Custodian, at all times maintain and safeguard the Mortgage Loan File for the Related Mortgage Loan in accordance with applicable law and lending industry custom and practice and shall hold such Mortgage Loan File in trust for Buyer, and in any event shall maintain and safeguard photocopies of the documents delivered to Buyer or Custodian, as applicable, pursuant to Section 3.2, and accurate and complete records of its servicing of the Related Mortgage Loan; Guarantor’s, Seller’s or Servicer’s possession of such Mortgage Loan File is for the sole purpose of servicing such Related Mortgage Loan and such retention and possession by Guarantor, Seller or such Servicer is in a custodial capacity only

(iii)

allow Buyer to, and Buyer may, at any time during Guarantor’s, Seller’s or Servicer’s business hours on reasonable notice, examine and make copies of such documents and records, and Guarantor or Seller or such Servicer shall deliver the originals of such documents and records to Buyer or its designee;

(iv)

at Buyer’s written request, promptly deliver to Buyer reports regarding the status of any Related Mortgage Loan being serviced by it, which reports shall include, but shall not be limited to, a description of any delinquency thereunder for equal to or more than thirty (30) calendar days or such other circumstances that could reasonably be expected to cause a material adverse effect with respect to the market value of such Related Mortgage Loan, Buyer’s or Guarantor’s title to such Related Mortgage Loan or the collateral securing such Related Mortgage Loan; such reports are required to be delivered until the repurchase of the Purchased Mortgage Loan with respect to such Related Mortgage Loan by the Seller; and

(v)

advance all reasonable, customary and/or necessary “out of pocket” costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred in the performance by Servicer of its servicing obligations, including, but not limited to, (1) real estate taxes and assessments (including HOA/COA) and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property, (2) insurance premiums, (3) expenses necessary to prevent or cure a violation of applicable laws, (4) customary expenses for collection and enforcement of foreclosure or deficiency judgments and (5) cost of appraisals and valuations.

(f)	Sale or Transfer of Servicing Rights by Buyer. Solely with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan that is a Servicing Released Loan, Buyer may sell or transfer any rights to service a Purchased Mortgage Loan with written notice but without the prior written consent of Seller or any Servicer.

(g)

Release of Mortgage Loan Files. Guarantor or Seller shall release its custody of the contents of any Mortgage Loan File only in accordance with the written instructions of Buyer, except when such release is (1) incidental to the servicing of the related Related Mortgage Loan and pursuant to and in accordance with the Custodial Agreement, (2) required to complete the Purchase Commitment, or (3) required by law.

(h)	Custodial Account.

(i)

Guarantor shall establish and maintain a segregated time or demand deposit account with the Account Bank for the benefit of Buyer (the “Custodial Account”) and shall promptly deposit or cause Servicer to deposit (but in no event later than the date set forth in the applicable Servicing Agreement, or within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof in the event Guarantor is the Servicer) into the Custodial Account all Income received with respect to each Purchased Asset sold hereunder. In the event Guarantor is not the Servicer, Guarantor shall cause the Servicer to deposit such amounts into the Custodial Account in the manner set forth in the applicable Servicing Agreement. The Custodial Account may not be a deposit account that is established to serve as a custodial account for mortgage loans that Guarantor, Seller or Servicer services for other parties. Under no circumstances shall Guarantor, Seller or Servicer deposit any of its own funds into the Custodial Account or otherwise commingle its own funds with funds belonging to Buyer as owner of any Purchased Asset. If Guarantor, Seller or Servicer fails to segregate any funds and commingles them with any source in breach of this Agreement, Guarantor, Seller or Servicer agrees that its share of the commingled funds is assumed to have been spent first with any remaining balance to be deemed to belong to Buyer.

(ii)

Guarantor hereby grants to Buyer a continuing first priority security interest in (1) all right, title, and interest in and to the Custodial Account and (2) any funds of Seller or Guarantor at any time deposited or held in the Custodial Account, whether such funds are required to be deposited and held in the Custodial Account or otherwise. Seller and Guarantor shall, as a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to enter into any Transaction hereunder, cause the Account Bank to enter into the Custodial Account Control Agreement with respect to the Custodial Account. The pledge and security interest contained in this paragraph shall be considered “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” the Agreement and Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(a)(v) and 741(7)(A)(x). Each of Seller and Guarantor understands and agrees that the Custodial Account shall be subject to a Custodial Account Control Agreement.

(iii)

Any Income received with respect to a Purchased Asset purchased hereunder (other than any interest accrued thereon during the period of time up to but not including the Purchase Date for such Purchased Asset), shall be segregated as described above and held in trust for the exclusive benefit of Buyer as the owner of such Purchased Asset and shall be released only as follows:

(1)

if a Successor Servicer is appointed by Buyer, all amounts deposited in the Custodial Account with respect to Related Mortgage Loans to be so serviced shall be transferred into an account established by the Successor Servicer pursuant to its agreement with Buyer; or

(2)

after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon instruction by Buyer.

(i)	Location of Custodial Account. Each of Seller and Guarantor shall ensure that there is no change in the identity or the location of the Custodial Account without the prior written consent of Buyer.

(j)

Accounting of Custodial Account. Seller and Guarantor shall provide, and shall cause Servicer to provide, Buyer with read-only access to the Custodial Account. Guarantor or Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer photocopies of all periodic bank statements and other records relating to the Custodial Account as Buyer may from time to time request.

(k)

Servicer Notice. As a condition precedent to Buyer funding the Purchase Price for any Purchased Mortgage Loan serviced by a Servicer other than Guarantor, Seller, Buyer, or an Affiliate of Buyer, the Guarantor or Seller shall provide to Buyer a Servicer Notice addressed to and agreed to by the Servicer, advising the Servicer of such matters as Buyer may reasonably request, including, without limitation, recognition by the Servicer of Buyer’s interest in such Related Mortgage Loans and, with respect to the Servicing Released Loans, ownership of a Participation Interest in the Servicing Rights related thereto, and the Servicer’s agreement that upon receipt of notice of an Event of Default or Servicer Termination Event, subject to Guarantor’s appointment right set forth in the first sentence of Section 6.2(m), from Buyer, it will follow the instructions of Buyer with respect to the servicing of the Related Mortgage Loans.

(l)

Notification of Servicer Defaults. If Seller or Guarantor should discover that for any reason whatsoever, any entity responsible to Guarantor or Seller by contract for managing or servicing any Related Mortgage Loan has failed to perform fully Guarantor’s or Seller’s obligations with respect to the management or servicing of such Related Mortgage Loan as required under this Agreement or any of the obligations of such entities with respect to the Related Mortgage Loan as delegated by Seller or Guarantor pursuant to any Servicing Agreement, Guarantor or Seller shall promptly notify Buyer.

(m)

Termination. If a Servicer Termination Event with respect to a Servicer other than Guarantor shall occur (which has not been waived by Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion) and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then Guarantor shall have the right to designate a successor Servicer acceptable to Buyer, in Buyer’s reasonable discretion, by proposing the identity of such successor Servicer to Buyer in writing no later than two (2) Business Days following the applicable Servicer Termination Event. If (x) Guarantor has not proposed a successor Servicer to Buyer in writing within two (2) Business Days following the applicable Servicer Termination Event in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence; (y) Buyer has not accepted, in Buyer’s sole discretion, the successor Servicer proposed by Guarantor to Buyer in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days following such applicable Servicer Termination Event; or (z) the actual servicing of the Related Mortgage Loans has not been transferred to the successor Servicer proposed by Guarantor and in accordance with the

immediately preceding sentence and accepted by Buyer, in Buyer’s sole discretion, within thirty (30) calendar days following the applicable Servicer Termination Event, then Buyer shall have the right at any time to immediately terminate, and Guarantor and Seller shall terminate any Servicer’s (as applicable) right to service the Related Mortgage Loans due to a Servicer Termination Event without payment of any penalty or termination fee. Seller and Guarantor (including Guarantor as Servicer) shall cooperate, or cause the applicable Servicer to cooperate, in transferring the servicing of the Related Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer appointed or accepted, as applicable, by Buyer in accordance with the terms hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, any termination of a Servicer’s rights to service by Buyer as a result of an Event of Default of the type stated in Section 11.1(r) that has not been waived shall be deemed part of an exercise of Buyer’s rights to cause the liquidation, termination or acceleration of this Agreement.

(n)

Buyer’s Right to Service with respect to the Servicing Released Loans. Buyer or its designee, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or, subject to Guarantor’s appointment right set forth in the first sentence of Section 6.2(m), a Servicer Termination Event, shall be entitled to service some or all of the Servicing Released Loans, including, without limitation, receiving and collecting all sums payable in respect of same. Upon Buyer’s determination and written notice to Seller or a Servicer, with a copy to Guarantor, as applicable, that Buyer desires to service some or all of the Servicing Released Loans following the occurrence of an Event of Default, or, subject to Guarantor’s appointment right set forth in the first sentence of Section 6.2(m), a Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Servicing Released Loans, Seller and Guarantor shall promptly cooperate, and Seller and Guarantor shall cause the Servicer to promptly cooperate, with all instructions of Buyer and do or accomplish all acts or things necessary to effect the transfer of the servicing to Buyer or its designee, at Seller’s or Guarantor’s sole expense. Upon Buyer’s or its designee’s servicing of the Servicing Released Loans, (i) Buyer may, in its own name, in the name of Guarantor or Seller, or otherwise demand, xxx for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for such Servicing Released Loan(s), but shall be under no obligation to do so; (ii) Guarantor or Seller shall, if Buyer so requests, pay to Buyer all amounts received by Guarantor or Seller upon or in respect of such Purchased Mortgage Loan(s) or other Purchased Assets, advising Buyer as to the source of such funds; and (iii) all amounts so received and collected by Buyer shall be held as part of the Purchased Assets or applied against any outstanding Repurchase Price owed Buyer.

(o)

Participation Interest in Servicing Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Principal Agreement, solely with respect to any Purchased Asset that is a Servicing Released Loan, upon payment of the Purchase Price by Buyer to Seller, Buyer becomes the owner of a Purchased Asset, which includes a Participation Interest in the Servicing Rights related thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Principal Agreement, solely with respect to any Purchased Asset that is a Servicing Released Loan, the Servicing Rights related to the Purchased Assets are not severable from or to be separated from the Mortgage Loans related to the Purchased Assets and such Servicing Rights and other servicing provisions of this Agreement and any other Principal Agreement constitute (a) “related terms” under this Agreement within the meaning of Section 101(47)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code and/or (b) a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Principal Agreements. Buyer acknowledges that with respect to any Servicing Released Loan, Guarantor retains legal title to the Mortgage Loans constituting the Purchased Assets and legal title to the Servicing Rights in respect of the Mortgage Loans constituting the Purchased Assets, and that the sale of the Participation Interest in the Servicing Rights does not sever the Servicing Rights from the Servicing Released Loans.

6.3	Margin Account Maintenance.

(a)	Asset Value. Buyer shall have the right to determine the Asset Value of each Purchased Asset at any time in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b)

Margin Deficit and Margin Call. If Buyer or its designee shall determine at the close of business on any Business Day that the Minimum Maintenance Amount with respect to the Purchased Assets is less than the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price of all Transactions (in any such case, a “Margin Deficit”) by an amount that is equal to or greater than the Margin Threshold, then Buyer may at its sole option, and by notice to Seller (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Margin Call”) require Seller to:

(i)

pay one or more Repurchase Prices in accordance with Section 6.4, as applicable, in an amount sufficient to reduce the related Purchase Price so that the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price of all Transactions is less than or equal to the Minimum Maintenance Amount; or

(ii)

deposit cash into the Funding Deposit Account so that the Minimum Maintenance Amount will thereupon equal or exceed the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price (for purposes of clarity, after giving effect to any credit to the Purchase Price of the related Transaction(s) pursuant to Section 6.3(d)) of all Transactions.

If Buyer delivers a Margin Call to Seller on any Business Day, then Seller shall transfer cash to Buyer no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the next subsequent Business Day after such delivery. Notice of a Margin Call may be provided by Buyer to Seller electronically or in writing, such as via electronic mail.

(c)	Buyer’s Discretion. Buyer’s election not to make a Margin Call at any time there is a Margin Deficit shall not in any way limit or impair its right to make a Margin Call at any time a Margin Deficit exists.

(d)	Credit to Repurchase Price. Any cash transferred to the Funding Deposit Account in accordance with Buyer’s wire instructions set forth on Exhibit F pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall be credited to the Purchase Price of the related Transaction(s).

6.4

Repurchase and Release of Purchased Assets. Provided that no Event of Default, Event of Early Termination or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, Seller may repurchase a Purchased Asset by paying, or causing a Takeout Investor to pay, to Buyer by depositing cash into the Funding Deposit Account in accordance with Buyer’s wire instructions set forth on Exhibit F, subject to Sections 4.6 and 4.7, the Repurchase Price.

Upon receipt of the applicable Repurchase Price and, in the event the applicable Repurchase Price is received pursuant to Section 6.3(b)(ii), upon written request from Seller to Buyer, as applicable, as set forth above, Buyer shall (i) with respect to Related Mortgage Loans, deliver or shall cause the Custodian to deliver the related Mortgage Loan Documents to Seller or its designee, if such documents have not already been delivered pursuant to a Bailee Agreement and (ii) with respect to related Mortgage-Backed Securities, deliver the Mortgage-Backed Security to Seller, its designee or Takeout Investor, as applicable, on a delivery versus payment basis; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer shall not be obligated to provide more than five (5) such releases to any Takeout Investor for purposes of pooling with an Agency (which release may relate to more than a single Related Mortgage Loan) on any day. If any such release gives rise to or perpetuates a Margin Deficit, Buyer shall notify Seller of the amount thereof and Seller shall thereupon satisfy the Margin Deficit in the manner specified in Section 6.3(b). Buyer shall have no obligation to release a repurchased Purchased Asset or terminate its security interest in such Purchased Asset until such Margin Deficit is satisfied and, in the event the applicable amount is received pursuant to Section 6.3(b)(ii), Seller has provided a prior written request for such release.

6.5

Repurchase Transactions. Beginning on the related Purchase Date and prior to the related Repurchase Date for a Transaction, Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all related Purchased Assets and may in its discretion and without notice to Seller engage in repurchase transactions with respect to any or all of such Purchased Assets or otherwise pledge, hypothecate, assign, transfer or convey any or all of such Purchased Assets (such transactions, “Repurchase Transactions”); provided, that no such Repurchase Transaction shall relieve such Buyer of its obligation to transfer Purchased Assets to Seller (and not substitutions thereof) pursuant to the terms hereof. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Purchased Asset or Purchased Item delivered to Buyer by Seller. Seller shall not be responsible for any additional obligations, costs or fees in connection with such Repurchase Transactions. Other than for tax and accounting purposes, each of Guarantor and Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with Buyer’s ownership of a Purchased Asset and shall not claim any legal, beneficial or other interest in such a Purchased Asset other than the limited right and obligations to provide servicing of such Related Mortgage Loans where Buyer designates Guarantor as servicer as provided in Section 6.2.

6.6

Periodic Due Diligence. Each of Guarantor and Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right at any time during the term of this Agreement to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Assets, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties, covenants and specifications made hereunder or under any other Principal Agreement, or otherwise, and each of Guarantor and Seller agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than five (5) Business Day’s with respect to Guarantor and Seller, and such time period set forth in the applicable Servicing Agreement with respect to any other Servicer) prior notice to Guarantor (provided that upon the occurrence of a Potential Default or an Event of Default which has not been waived by Buyer in writing, no such prior notice shall be required other than with respect to a Servicer other than Guarantor or Seller, in which case the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement shall govern), Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to (i) examine, inspect, make copies of, and make extracts of, the Mortgage Loan Files, the Servicing Records and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession, or under the control, of Guarantor, Seller, Custodian or Servicer (including, and not limited to, any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to any report delivered pursuant to Section 9.1(h)) and (ii) discuss the business, operations, assets and financial condition of Seller, Parent Guarantor and Guarantor and their respective Affiliates and Subsidiaries with its officers and employees and to examine its books of account and make copies and/or extracts thereof. Further, Guarantor will make available to Buyer, at such time and location as Buyer may reasonably request, a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer and will instruct such officer to answer candidly and fully, at no cost to Buyer, any and all reasonable questions that any authorized representative of Buyer may address to them in reference to the Mortgage Loan Files, Purchased Assets and the financial condition or affairs of Seller and its Affiliates and Subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Guarantor and Seller acknowledges that Buyer shall purchase Assets from Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer in the Transaction Request, the Asset Data Records and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right, at any time to re-underwrite any of the Purchased Assets and/or Related Mortgage Loans itself or engage a third party underwriter to perform such re-underwriting. Each of Guarantor and Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and any third party

underwriter in connection with such re-underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to Guarantor, Parent Guarantor and Seller and such Purchased Assets and/or Related Mortgage Loans in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. Seller and Buyer further agree that all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall be paid by Seller, subject to the annual Due Diligence Cap; provided, that, such Due Diligence Cap shall not apply upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Potential Default.

(f)	proceed against Seller under this Agreement, against Guarantor under the Guaranty and Security Agreement or against Parent Guarantor under the Parent Guaranty Agreement, or any or all;

(g)

(i) sell, without notice or demand of any kind, at a public or private sale and at such price or prices as Buyer may deem to be commercially reasonable for cash or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, any or all or portions of the Related Mortgage Loans (after obtaining title thereto) or Purchased Assets on a servicing retained or servicing released basis; provided that Buyer may purchase any or all of the Related Mortgage Loans or Purchased Assets at any public or private sale or (ii) in its sole and absolute discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Related Mortgage Loans (after obtaining title thereto) or Purchased Assets, to give Seller credit for such Mortgage Loans or Purchased Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Related Mortgage Loans or Purchased Mortgage Loans against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder; provided further that Seller shall remain liable to Buyer for any amounts that remain owing to Buyer following any such sale and/or credit;

(h)	enter into one or more hedging arrangements covering all or a portion of the Purchased Assets and/or Related Mortgage Loans; and/or

(i)	pursue any rights and/or remedies available at law or in equity against Seller, Parent Guarantor or Guarantor, or any or all.

11.4

Treatment of Custodial Account. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither Guarantor nor Seller shall have any right to withdraw or release any funds in the Custodial Account to itself or for its benefit, nor shall it have any right to set-off any amount owed to it by Buyer against funds held by it for Buyer in the Custodial Account. During the continuance of an Event of Default, each of Guarantor and Seller shall, and/or shall cause the applicable Servicer to, pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement, and Servicer Notice, if applicable, promptly remit all funds related to the Purchased Assets in the Custodial Account to or at the direction of Buyer.

11.5

Sale of Mortgage Loans or Purchased Assets. With respect to any sale of Mortgage Loans or Purchased Assets pursuant to Section 11.3(g), each of Guarantor and Seller acknowledges and agrees that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Mortgage Loans or Purchased Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a single transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Mortgage Loans or Purchased Assets may not be liquid. Seller further agrees that in view of the nature of the Mortgage Loans or Purchased Assets, liquidation of a Transaction or the underlying Mortgage Loans or Purchased Assets does not require a public purchase or sale. Accordingly, Buyer may elect the time and manner of liquidating any Mortgage Loan or Purchased Asset and nothing contained herein shall obligate Buyer to liquidate any Mortgage Loan or Purchased Asset on the occurrence of an Event of Default, to liquidate all Mortgage Loans or Purchased Assets in the same manner or on the same Business Day, or constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer. Guarantor and Seller hereby waives any claims it may have against Buyer arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Mortgage Loans or Purchased Assets may have been sold at such private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate Repurchase Price amount of the outstanding Transactions, even if Buyer accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Mortgage Loans or Purchased Assets, or any part thereof, to more than one offeree. Each of Guarantor and Seller hereby agrees that the procedures outlined in Section 11.3(e) and this Section 11.5 for disposition and liquidation of the Mortgage Loans or Purchased Assets are commercially reasonable. Each of Guarantor and Seller further agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for Buyer to dispose of the Mortgage Loans or Purchased Assets or any portion thereof by using internet sites that provide for the auction of assets similar to the Mortgage Loans or Purchased Assets, or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets.

11.6

No Obligation to Pursue Remedy. Buyer shall have the right to exercise any of its rights and/or remedies without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind other than as expressly set forth herein, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Guarantor and Seller. Guarantor and Seller further waive any right to require Buyer to (a) proceed against any Person, (b) proceed against or exhaust all or any of the Mortgage Loans or Purchased Assets or pursue its rights and remedies as against the Mortgage Loans or Purchased Assets in any particular order, or (c) pursue any other remedy in its power. Buyer shall not be required to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights of Guarantor or Seller against holders of mortgages prior in lien to the lien of any Mortgage Loan or Purchased Asset or to preserve rights against prior parties. No failure on the part of Buyer to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy provided hereunder, at law or in equity shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by Buyer of any right, power or remedy provided hereunder, at law or in equity preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Without intending to limit the foregoing, all defenses based on the statute of limitations are hereby waived by Guarantor and Seller. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity.

11.7

No Judicial Process. Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Guarantor and Seller hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any right that Guarantor or Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Guarantor and Seller also waive, to the extent permitted by law, any defense that Guarantor or Seller might otherwise have to its obligations under this Agreement arising from use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans or Purchased Assets or from any other election of remedies. Guarantor and Seller recognize that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

11.8

Reimbursement of Costs and Expenses. Buyer may, but shall not be obligated to, advance any sums or do any act or thing necessary to uphold and enforce the lien and priority of, or the security intended to be afforded by, any Mortgage Loan or Purchased Asset, including, without limitation, payment of delinquent taxes or assessments and insurance premiums. All advances, charges, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and losses resulting from any hedging arrangements entered into by Buyer pursuant to Section 11.3(f), incurred or paid by Buyer in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, or in the enforcement hereof, together with interest thereon, at the Default Rate, from the time of payment until repaid, shall become a part of the Repurchase Price.

11.9	Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale or other enforcement of Buyer’s interest in all or any part of the Mortgage Loans or Purchased Assets shall be applied by Buyer:

(a)	first, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such sale or enforcement, including reasonable compensation to Buyer’s agents and counsel, and all reasonable and documented expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by or on behalf of Buyer in connection therewith;

(b)	second, to the costs of cover and/or related hedging transactions;

(c)	third, to the payment of any other amounts due to Buyer under this Agreement other than the aggregate Repurchase Price;

(d)	fourth, to the payment of the aggregate Repurchase Price;

(e)	fifth, to all other obligations owed by Seller, Parent Guarantor or Guarantor under this Agreement and the other Principal Agreements;

(f)	sixth, in accordance with Buyer’s exercise of its rights under Section 11.10 hereof; and

(g)	seventh, the remainder to (or at the direction of) Seller.

11.10

Rights of Set-Off. Buyer and its Affiliates (the “Buyer Parties”) shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice, to set-off claims and to appropriate or apply any and all deposits of money or property (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) or any other Debt at any time held or owing by the Buyer Parties to or for the credit of the account of Guarantor or Seller against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor or Seller under this Agreement, irrespective of whether or not Buyer shall have made any demand hereunder and whether or not said obligations and liabilities shall have become due; provided, however, that the aforesaid right to set-off shall not apply to (i) any deposits of escrow monies being held on behalf of the Mortgagors related to the Purchased Mortgage Loans or other third parties or (ii) any amounts owed to any Seller Entity in connection with any such Seller Entity’s ownership of or investment in any Debt or other securities issued by any Buyer Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Buyer Parties shall be entitled to set-off claims and apply property held by Buyer Parties with respect to any Transaction against obligations and liabilities owed by Guarantor or Seller to the Buyer Parties with respect to any other Transaction. The Buyer Parties may set off cash, the proceeds of any liquidation of the Related Mortgage Loans or Purchased Assets and all other sums or obligations owed by the Buyer Parties to Seller or Guarantor against all of Guarantor’s or Seller’s obligations to the Buyer Parties, whether under this Agreement, under a Transaction, or under any other agreement between the parties, or otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to the Buyer Parties’ right to recover any deficiency. Buyer agrees promptly to notify Guarantor or Seller after any such set-off and application made by the Buyer Parties; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any Principal Agreement, if Seller, Parent Guarantor, Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates (other than Excluded Subsidiaries) (each such entity, a “Seller Entity”) owes any obligation to Buyer, GS&Co. or any Affiliate thereof, including in its capacity as Buyer or Portfolio Hedge counterparty (each such entity, an “Buyer Entity”), such Buyer Entity may, without prior notice, aggregate, setoff and net: (i) any collateral pledged by any Seller Entity to any Buyer Entity or held or carried for any Seller Entity by any Buyer Entity; and (ii) any collateral required to be paid or returned by any Seller Entity to any Buyer Entity. Buyer agrees promptly to notify Seller after any such set-off and application made by any Buyer Entity; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Guarantor agrees that it shall instruct any counterparty to a Portfolio Hedge that has been pledged to Buyer pursuant to Section 6.1 and in connection with the security interest granted therein pursuant to Section 6.1, to, in the event that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder and amounts are due and owing to Guarantor pursuant to the terms of such Portfolio Hedge(s), including any payments in respect of the termination thereof, remit any and all such amounts directly to Buyer, who shall apply such amounts in accordance with in accordance with Section 4.8, subject to Section 4.13. Guarantor further agrees that Guarantor shall deliver, on or prior to pledging such Portfolio Hedge to Buyer pursuant to Section 6.1, evidence to Buyer that (i)

such instruction has been made, (ii) such counterparty has acknowledged and agreed to such instruction, and (iii) such counterparty has acknowledged the grant, pledge and assignment of Guarantor’s rights (but not its obligations) under such Portfolio Hedge and agreed that such grant, pledge and assignment does not violate any restrictions related thereto set forth in such Portfolio Hedge.

Buyer and Seller intend and agree that all such payments pursuant to this Section 11.10 shall be “settlement payments” as such term is defined in Bankruptcy Code Section 741(8).

ARTICLE 12

INDEMNIFICATION

12.1

Indemnification. Each of Seller and Guarantor shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Buyer Parties and any of their respective partners, officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, claims damages, penalties, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind whatsoever (including reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of any of its counsel) (“Losses”) that may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party in any way relating to or arising out of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Principal Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Purchased Assets or the Transactions or Seller’s, Parent Guarantor’s and Guarantor’s obligations thereunder, or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by Seller, Parent Guarantor or Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries, except to the extent that such Losses have been found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (or, should the parties mutually agree to binding arbitration, a final determination of the arbitrator) to have resulted directly and solely from the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, or willful misconduct. Each of Seller and Guarantor also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party for all such Indemnified Party’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of such Indemnified Party’s rights under this Agreement, any other Principal Agreement (provided that if the terms of any Principal Agreement conflict with the foregoing, the terms of the Principal Agreement shall control) or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees and documented, out-of-pocket disbursements of its external counsel. To the fullest extent permitted by any applicable law, each party hereto shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the Principal Agreements or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Transaction or the use of the proceeds thereof. The agreements in this Section 12.1 shall survive the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other obligations and liabilities of the parties under the Principal Agreements. All amounts due under this Section 12.1 shall be fully payable within ten (10) calendar days after demand therefor. This Section 12.1 shall not apply to any amounts due and owing pursuant to Section 4.5 or with respect to Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non- Tax claim.

12.2

Reimbursement. Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer, within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of an invoice from Buyer, all of the out-of-pocket costs and documented expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with (i) the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby including, without limitation, all the due diligence, inspection, testing and review costs and expenses incurred by Buyer with respect to Purchased Assets prior to the Effective Date or pursuant to Section 6.6, subject to the Due Diligence Cap to the extent applicable, or otherwise (including any fees payable to any distribution agent or calculation agent appointed by Buyer based upon invoices, from time to time, provided by Buyer to Seller, provided by Buyer to Seller), (ii) the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement, waiver, increase of the Aggregate Transaction Limit or modification to, any Principal Agreement or any other documents prepared in connection therewith, and (iv) all the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to Buyer incurred in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that the amounts in this clause (iv) shall not exceed the Legal Fee Cap.

12.3	Payment of Taxes.

(a)

All payments made by or on account of any obligation of Guarantor or Seller under this Agreement or any other Principal Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, charges, assessments, fees or withholdings (including backup withholdings), and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto imposed by any Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), except as required by applicable law. If Guarantor or Seller is required by law or regulation to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder, it shall: (i) make such deduction or withholding; (ii) pay the amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority not later than the date when due; (iii) deliver to Buyer, promptly, original tax receipts and other evidence satisfactory to Buyer of the payment when due of the full amount of such Taxes; and (iv) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax (as defined below), pay to Buyer such additional amounts as may be necessary so that Buyer receives, free and clear of all such Indemnified Taxes, a net amount equal to the amount it would have received under this Agreement, as if no such deduction or withholding had been made. In addition, Guarantor and Seller agree to timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp, court or documentary taxes, intangible, filing or similar Taxes (including, without limitation, mortgage recording taxes, transfer taxes and similar fees) imposed by any Governmental Authority that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, performance or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement except any such Taxes imposed on Buyer with respect to an assignment, other than an assignment made at the request of Seller or Guarantor, by a jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) having a present or former connection with Buyer (other than any connection arising from executing, delivering, being party to, engaging in any transaction pursuant to, performing its obligations under or enforcing this Agreement) (“Other Taxes”). Other Taxes and Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of Guarantor or Seller under this Agreement shall be referred to in this Agreement as “Indemnified Taxes.”

(b)

Seller shall within ten (10) calendar days after demand therefor, indemnify Buyer for the full amount of any and all Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 12.3) arising with respect to the Purchased Assets, the Principal Agreements and other documents related thereto and fully indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against any and all liabilities or reasonable expenses with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay such Taxes, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or assessed by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of any payment or liability of Buyer with respect to such Indemnified Taxes delivered to Seller by Buyer shall be conclusive absent manifest error. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Seller to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 12.3,

Seller shall deliver to Buyer the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, and provided further that in no event shall Buyer be required to complete, execute or submit to Seller any of the documentation listed in Section 12.3(d) if there is a change in United States law prohibiting provision of any such documentation which occurs subsequent to the date on which applicable documentation listed under Section 12.3(d) was previously provided by Buyer to Seller in accordance with the requirements of Section 12.3(d).

(c)

If Buyer is entitled to an exemption or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement, Buyer shall deliver to Seller, at the time or times reasonably requested by Seller, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Seller as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding; provided that the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than the documentation listed in Section 12.3(d)) shall not be required if in Buyer’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Buyer to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Buyer.

(d)

Without limiting the generality of Section 12.3(c), if Buyer is (i) not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia or (ii) not otherwise treated as a “United States person” within the meaning of the Code (a “Foreign Buyer”) and is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of U.S. federal withholding Taxes with respect to payments made under this Agreement, Buyer shall provide Seller with an original, properly completed and duly executed United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY or W-8ECI or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, (i) certifying that such Foreign Buyer is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces or eliminates the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest or setting forth a basis to claim the benefits of the exemptions from U.S. withholding taxes for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code or (ii) certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States on or prior to the date upon which each such Foreign Buyer becomes a Buyer. If an IRS form previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, each Foreign Buyer will update such form or promptly notify Seller of its legal inability to do so. Should a Foreign Buyer, which is otherwise exempt from a withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver an IRS form required hereunder, Seller shall, at no cost or expense to Seller, take such steps as such Foreign Buyer shall reasonably request to assist such Foreign Buyer to recover such Taxes. Upon the execution of this Agreement or otherwise becoming a Buyer, each Buyer that is a “United States person” within the meaning of the Code shall deliver to Seller an original, properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable laws or reasonably requested by Seller as will enable Seller to determine whether or not such Buyer is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

(e)

Nothing contained in this Section 12.3 shall require Buyer to make available any of its Tax returns or other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary or otherwise subject Buyer to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Buyer, except for such IRS forms Buyer is required to deliver to Seller under Section 12.3(d).

(f)

If a payment made to Buyer under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed under FATCA if such Buyer were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Buyer shall deliver to Seller at the time or times prescribed by law and at such

time or times reasonably requested by Seller such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Seller as may be necessary for Seller to comply with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this clause, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g)

If Buyer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 12.3 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this section), it shall pay to Seller an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments and additional payments made under this section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of Buyer and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Seller, upon the request of Buyer, shall repay to Buyer the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 12.3(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that Buyer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.3(g), in no event will Buyer be required to pay any amount to Seller pursuant to this Section 12.3(g) the payment of which would place Buyer in a less favorable net after-Tax position than Buyer would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.

12.4

Buyer Payment. If Seller fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under this Article 12, such amount may be paid on behalf of Seller by Buyer, in its discretion and Seller shall remain liable for any such payments by Buyer. No such payment by Buyer shall be deemed a waiver of any of Buyer’s rights under any of the Principal Agreements.

12.5

Agreement not to Assert Claims. Each of Guarantor and Seller agrees not to, and agrees to not allow Parent Guarantor to, assert any claim against any Indemnified Party on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Principal Agreements, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY AND AGREEMENT NOT TO ASSERT CLAIMS EXPRESSLY APPLIES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO THE NEGLIGENCE (BUT NOT GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT) OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.

12.6

Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Guarantor or Seller hereunder, the covenants and obligations of Guarantor and Seller contained in this Article 12 shall survive the payment in full of the Repurchase Prices and all other amounts payable hereunder and delivery of the Purchased Assets by Buyer against full payment therefor.

ARTICLE 13

TERM AND TERMINATION

13.1

Term. Provided that no Event of Default or Event of Early Termination has occurred and is continuing, and except as otherwise provided for herein, this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue until the Facility Termination Date. On the date of expiration or termination of this Agreement, all amounts due Buyer under the Principal Agreements shall be immediately due and payable without notice to Guarantor, Parent Guarantor or Seller and without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or dishonor, or other notice of default, and without formally placing Guarantor, Parent Guarantor or Seller in default, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Guarantor and Seller.

13.2	Termination.

(a)	This Agreement may be, without cause and for any reason whatsoever, terminated by mutual agreement between Buyer and Seller.

(b)

Upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Agreement, all outstanding amounts due to Buyer under the Principal Agreements shall be immediately due and payable without notice (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement) to Guarantor, Parent Guarantor or Seller and without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or dishonor, or other notice of default, and without formally placing Guarantor, Parent Guarantor or Seller in default, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Guarantor and Seller. Further, any termination of this Agreement shall not affect the outstanding obligations of Seller under this Agreement or any other Principal Agreement and all such outstanding obligations and the rights and remedies afforded Buyer in connection therewith, including, without limitation, those rights and remedies afforded Buyer under this Agreement, shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Buyer shall not be liable to Seller for any costs, loss or damages arising from or relating to a termination by Buyer in accordance with any subsection of this Section 13.2.

13.3

Extension of Term. Upon mutual agreement of Seller and Buyer, the term of this Agreement may be extended. Such extension may be made subject to the terms and conditions hereunder and to any other terms and conditions as Buyer may determine to be necessary or advisable. Under no circumstances shall such an extension by Buyer be interpreted or construed as a forfeiture by Buyer of any of its rights, entitlements or interest created hereunder. Seller acknowledges and understands that Buyer is under no obligation whatsoever to extend the term of this Agreement beyond the initial term.

ARTICLE 14

GENERAL

14.1

Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Principal Agreements, and all other documents executed pursuant to the terms hereof and thereof, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications with respect to the subject matter hereof, all of which such communications are merged herein. All Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and each Transaction has been entered into in consideration of the other Transactions. Accordingly, each of Buyer, Guarantor and Seller agrees that payments, deliveries, and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries, and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries, and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provisions of this Agreement related to the servicing and the Participation Interest in the Servicing Rights of the Servicing Released Loans are integral, interrelated, and are non-severable from the purchase and sale provisions of the Agreement. Buyer has relied upon such provisions as being integral and non-severable in determining whether to enter into this Agreement and in determining the Purchase Price methodology for such Mortgage Loans. The integration of these servicing provisions is necessary to enable Buyer to obtain the maximum value from the sale of the Purchased Mortgage Loans or Related Mortgage Loans that are Servicing Released Loans by having the ability to sell the Participation Interest in the Servicing Rights related to the Servicing

Released Loans free from any claims or encumbrances. Further, the fact that Seller, Guarantor or any Servicer may be entitled to a servicing fee for interim servicing of the Servicing Released Loans or that Buyer may provide a separate notice of default to Guarantor or Seller or any Servicer regarding the servicing of the Servicing Released Loans shall not affect or otherwise change the intent of Guarantor, Seller and Buyer regarding the integral and non-severable nature of the provisions in the Agreement related to servicing and Servicing Rights nor will such facts affect or otherwise change Buyer’s ownership of a Participation Interest in the Servicing Rights related to the Servicing Released Loans.

14.2	Amendments. Other than as contemplated by Section 9.15, no modification, waiver, amendment, discharge or change of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same is in writing and signed by the party against whom the enforcement of such modification, waiver, amendment, discharge or change is sought.

14.3

No Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of Seller, Guarantor or Buyer in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder and no course of dealing between Seller, Guarantor and Buyer shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder. An Event of Default shall be deemed to be continuing unless expressly waived by Buyer.

14.4

Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that Guarantor, Seller or Buyer would otherwise have. No notice or demand on Seller, Parent Guarantor or Guarantor in any case shall entitle Seller or Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Buyer to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

14.5

Rehypothecation; Assignment. Except pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Seller Limited Liability Company Agreement, the Principal Agreements may not be assigned by Guarantor or Seller. The applicable Principal Agreements, along with Buyer’s right, title and interest, including its security interest, in any or all of the Related Mortgage Loans, Purchased Assets and other Purchased Items, may, at any time, be transferred or assigned, in whole or in part, by Buyer (including but not limited to any such transfer or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank). Any transferee or assignee of Buyer may enforce any such Principal Agreements and such security interest directly against Seller and Guarantor.

Subject to this Section 14.5, Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all Purchased Assets and nothing shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with such Purchased Assets or otherwise pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating such Purchased Assets; provided, that no such transaction shall affect the obligations of Buyer to transfer the Purchased Assets to Seller on the Repurchase Date free and clear of any pledge, Lien, security interest, encumbrance, charge or other adverse claim as set forth in Section 6.5.

Buyer, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Seller, shall maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it shall record the rights of Buyer and any assignee of Buyer under this Agreement, and each assignment. The Register shall include the names and addresses of Buyer (including all assignees or successors) and the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Buyer and Seller shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Buyer hereunder for all purposes of this agreement; provided, however, that a failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect Seller’s obligations in respect of such rights.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer may pledge as collateral, or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its rights in, to and under this Agreement and any other Principal Agreement, to (i) a security trustee in connection with the funding by Buyer of Transactions or (ii) a Federal Reserve Bank to secure obligations to such Federal Reserve Bank, in each case without the consent of Seller; provided that no such pledge or grant shall release Buyer from its obligations under this Agreement.

14.6	Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

14.7	Participations. Buyer may from time to time sell or otherwise grant participations in this Agreement and the holder of any such participation, if the participation agreement so provides,

The information set forth in the Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule (including information contained under each heading in the Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule) annexed to the related Transaction Request and the information contained on each Asset Data Record delivered to the Buyer is complete, true and correct; and such Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule contains at least all of the fields indicated in the Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule definition set forth in this Agreement. In addition, the data on such Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule correctly and accurately reflects the most current data (except for information specified to be as of the origination date of the Mortgage Loan) in the Guarantor’s records and the originator’s records, if the Guarantor is not the originator (including, without limitation, the Mortgage Loan File). With respect to each Mortgage Loan, any seller or builder concession in excess of the allowable limits established by Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac and the Underwriting Guidelines, in each case and applicable at the time of origination, has been subtracted from the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property for purposes of determining the LTV and CLTV. With respect to each Mortgage Loan and as of the Effective Date, the most recent FICO Score listed on the Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule was no more than four (4) months old. As of the date of funding of the Mortgage Loan to the Mortgagor, no Appraisal or other property valuation listed on the Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule was more than four (4) months old.

(c) Payments Current; No Prepayments. All payments required to be made up to the related Purchase Date for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and credited. No payment made on such Mortgage Loan has been dishonored and neither the Guarantor nor any other party has advanced funds or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the Mortgagor or a third-party with respect to amounts to be taken from escrow accounts and any shortfall thereof which may be remitted by Guarantor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan is a Delinquent Mortgage Loan nor has any Mortgage Loan been a Delinquent Mortgage Loan at any time since the origination of the Mortgage Loan. The first monthly payment shall be made, or shall have been made, with respect to the Mortgage Loan on its due date or within thirty (30) calendar days thereof, all in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note. The Mortgage Loan was not prepaid in full prior to the Effective Date and the Guarantor has not received notification from a Mortgagor that a prepayment in full shall be made after the Effective Date. If the Mortgage Loan is a Cooperative Loan, no foreclosure action or private or public sale under the Uniform Commercial Code has ever been threatened or commenced with respect to the Cooperative Loan.

(d) No Outstanding Charges. All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, leasehold payments, ground rents, water, sewer and municipal charges or other outstanding charges affecting the related Mortgaged Property, which previously became due and owing have been paid by the Mortgagor, or an escrow of funds has been established to the extent permitted by law, in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable.

Exhibit H-1

(e) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage (and the Proprietary Lease and the Pledge Instruments with respect to each Cooperative Loan) have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed in connection with the Mortgage Loan, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the Insurer of any related private mortgage insurance policy and the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage Loan Documents delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected on the related Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule; provided, that, none of the payment terms, interest rate, maturity date or other material terms have been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent required, and its terms are reflected in the Asset Data Record. No Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by such policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage Loan File delivered to Custodian. The related Mortgage Note, Mortgage and each other related Mortgage Loan Document contain the entire agreement of the parties and all of the obligations of Guarantor under the related Mortgage Loan.

(f) No Defenses. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage (and the Cooperative Pledge Agreement related to each Cooperative Loan) arose from a bona fide loan and are not subject to any right of rescission, reformation, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, reformation, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, reformation, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and there is no basis for the Mortgage Loan to be modified or reformed without the consent of the mortgagee under Applicable Law.

(g) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction, release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. Neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates has waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor.

(h) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Loan is evidenced by instruments acceptable to FHA, VA, RD, Xxxxxx Mae, Xxxxxxx Mac or the Takeout Investor, as applicable, given the type of Mortgage Loan. Each Mortgage Loan Document, the related Mortgage (in the case of a Cooperative Loan, the related Cooperative Pledge Agreement) and any other agreements executed in connection therewith are original and genuine, have been duly and properly executed and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other principles of equity affecting the rights of creditors generally, whether considered in the proceeding at law or in equity.

No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place (i) on the part of the originator, the Seller, Guarantor, any prior owner of such Mortgage Loan, or any their respective Affiliates or assigns, the Mortgagor, or any other Person, including, without limitation, any servicer, any appraiser, builder, developer, escrow agent, broker or correspondent, closing or settlement agent, closing attorney, realtor, title company or any other party involved in the solicitation, origination, sale or servicing of the Mortgage Loan or in the determination of the value of the Mortgaged Property or the sale of the Mortgaged Property, or (ii) in the application for any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan or in connection with the sale of such Mortgage Loan to the Buyer, or (iii) that would impair in any way the rights of the Buyer in the Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property or that violated Applicable Law. None of the originator, the Seller, the Guarantor, any prior owner of such Mortgage Loan, or any their respective Affiliates or assigns, has made any representations to the Mortgagor that are inconsistent with the Mortgage Loan Documents.

(j) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is located in the United States in the state identified in the Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a fee simple interest in a contiguous parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development or a townhouse or, in the case of a Mortgage Loan secured by Cooperative Shares, leases or occupancy agreements; provided, however, that any condominium project or planned unit development shall conform with the applicable Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac requirements and conform with the Underwriting Guidelines regarding such dwellings applicable at the time of origination of the related Mortgage Loan.

Except as otherwise permitted under the Underwriting Guidelines, none of the Mortgaged Properties are Manufactured Homes or mobile homes (regardless of whether such Manufactured Homes or mobile homes have been converted to real property, are permanently affixed to real property, or has had its title certificate cancelled or surrendered), condotels, agricultural properties, log homes, geodesic domes or other unique property types. As of the respective appraisal date for each Mortgaged Property, no portion of the Mortgaged Property was being used for commercial or mixed-use purposes and since the date of such Appraisal, no portion of the Mortgaged Property has been used for commercial or mixed-use purposes. No Mortgage Loan finances builder inventory.

(k) Leaseholds. If the Mortgage Loan is secured by a long-term residential lease, (A) the leasehold must be assignable and/or transferable, (B) the terms of such lease expressly permit the mortgaging of the leasehold estate, the assignment of the lease without the lessor’s consent (or the lessor’s consent has been obtained and such consent is in the Mortgage Loan File and such consent is in full force and effect) and the acquisition by the holder of the Mortgage of the rights of the lessee upon foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or provide the holder of the Mortgage with substantially similar protection; (C) the terms of such lease do not (x) allow the termination thereof upon the lessee’s default without the holder of the Mortgage being entitled to receive written notice of, and opportunity to cure, such default or

(l) Valid First Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security interest on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located, annexed or affixed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing; and the Mortgage and the related Mortgage Note do not contain any evidence of any security interest or other interest or right superior thereto. Such lien is free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and encumbrances having priority over the first lien of the Mortgage subject only to:

(1)

the lien of the current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable;

(2)

covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy or attorney’s title opinion delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (i) referred to or otherwise considered in the Appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (ii) which do not adversely affect the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such Appraisal; and

(3)

other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.

(p) Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates in the Guarantor a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan on the property described therein and the Guarantor has full right to sell and assign the same to the Buyer. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage.

(q) With respect to any Cooperative Loan, the Cooperative Pledge Agreement is a valid, subsisting and enforceable first priority security interest on the related Cooperative Shares securing the Mortgage Note, subject only to (a) liens of the related residential Cooperative Corporation for unpaid assessments representing the Mortgagor’s pro rata share of the related residential Cooperative Corporation’s payments for its blanket mortgage, current and future real property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance fees and other assessments to which like collateral is commonly subject and (b) other matters to which like collateral is commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security interest intended to be provided by such Cooperative Pledge Agreement.

Exhibit H-4

(m) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the account of the Mortgagor, and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder. Any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and any and all requirements as to disbursements of escrow funds for such improvements have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage.

(n) Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made prior to the related Purchase Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term reflected on the Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule. With respect to each first lien Mortgage Loan, the lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac requirements and acceptable under the Underwriting Guidelines applicable at the time of origination of the Mortgage; the consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan; the Guarantor shall not make future advances after the related Purchase Date.

(o) Ownership. Seller owns and has full right to sell the Asset to Buyer free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any Person other than Guarantor, to sell each Asset pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of each Asset, Buyer will own such Asset free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest except any such security interest created pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Seller has not previously pledged, sold or otherwise transferred such Asset to any Person.

(p) Origination/Doing Business. The Mortgage Loan was originated by a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, a credit union, an insurance company, or similar institution that is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority or by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act. All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as originator, mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (1) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (2) either (A) organized under the laws of such state, (B) qualified to do business in such state, (C) federal savings and loan associations or national banks having principal offices in such state, or (D) not doing business in such state.

(q) LTV, Private Mortgage Insurance Policy. If the Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule reflects that the Mortgage Loan is covered by a private mortgage insurance policy and/or the applicable Underwriting Guidelines require that such Mortgage Loan be covered by a private mortgage insurance policy, such Mortgage Loan is and will be insured as to payment defaults by a private mortgage insurance policy until terminated pursuant to the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998, 12 U.S.C. §4901, et seq and such policy was obtained in compliance with the requirements of the applicable Underwriting Guidelines. All provisions of such private mortgage insurance policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is valid, binding, enforceable and in full force and effect, all premiums due thereunder have been

Exhibit H-5

paid, the form and substance of such private mortgage insurance policy is in substantial conformance with primary mortgage insurance policies acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac and acceptable under the Underwriting Guidelines at the time of origination and no action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts exists that has, or will, result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage of such private mortgage insurance policy. The insurer under such private mortgage insurance policy is an Insurer at the time of origination. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Mortgagor-paid private mortgage insurance policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith up to the time it may be discontinued according to Applicable Law. Any such premium is not payable from any portion of the interest rate with respect to such Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan requires payment of such premiums, in whole or in part, by the Buyer; provided, however, that a private mortgage insurance policy will not be required for any Cooperative Loan if (i) the proceeds of such Cooperative Loan were used to purchase a Cooperative Unit at the “insider’s price” when the building was converted to a Cooperative Corporation, (ii) the value of the Cooperative Unit for purposes of establishing the LTV at origination was such “insider’s price,” (iii) the principal balance of the Cooperative Loan at origination was not more than 100% of such “insider’s price.” The interest rate for the Mortgage Loan does not include any such insurance premium.

(r) Title Insurance. Except with respect to any (1) Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property located in the State of Iowa and an attorney’s certificate and/or a certificate of title guaranty has been obtained and (2) Mortgage Loan secured by Cooperative Shares, a valid and enforceable title insurance policy has been issued or a commitment to issue such title insurance policy has been obtained for the Mortgage Loan in an amount not less than the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan, which title insurance policy insures that the Mortgage relating thereto is a valid first lien on the property therein described and that the mortgaged property is free and clear of all encumbrances and liens having priority over the first lien of the Mortgage and otherwise in compliance with the requirements of the applicable Takeout Investor. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of such lender’s title insurance policy. The Guarantor, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, the assignment to the Buyer of the Guarantor’s interest in such lender’s title insurance policy does not require any consent of or notification to the Insurer which has not been obtained or made, such lender’s title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Buyer upon the consummation of the purchase of the Mortgage Loans as contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and none of the originator, the Seller, Guarantor, any prior owner of such Mortgage Loan, or any their respective Affiliates or assigns, any servicer or any other Person has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy. In connection with the issuance of such lender’s title insurance policy, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other compensation or value of any kind has been or will be provided, received, retained or realized by any originator, the Seller, Guarantor, any prior owner of such Mortgage Loan, or any their respective Affiliates or assigns, any servicer or any other Person (including, but not limited to any attorney, firm or other entity) or any of their affiliates or assigns.

(s) No Defaults. There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note (monetary or otherwise) and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and neither the Guarantor nor its predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. The Guarantor has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default. No foreclosure action is currently being threatened or has begun with respect to the Mortgage Loan. With respect to each Cooperative Loan, there is no default in complying with the terms of the Mortgage Note, the Cooperative Pledge Agreement and the Proprietary Lease and all maintenance charges and assessments (including assessments payable in future installments, which previously became due and owing) have been paid, and the Guarantor has the right under the terms of the Mortgage Note, Cooperative Pledge Agreement and Recognition Agreement to pay any maintenance charges or assessments owed by the Mortgagor.

Exhibit H-6

(t) No Mechanics’ Liens. There are no mechanics’ or materialmen’s or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under the law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage.

(u) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements which were considered in determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property and, as of the date the related Mortgage Loan was originated and as of the Effective Date, no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property, as of the date the related Mortgage Loan was originated and as of the Effective Date, is in violation of any applicable zoning law, building law, occupancy law, ordinance, regulation, standard, license or certificate and the Guarantor has not received any notice of noncompliance with any use or zoning law, building law, occupancy law, ordinance, regulation, standard, license or certificate with respect to the Mortgaged Property.

(v) Payment Terms. Except with respect to the interest only Mortgage Loans, if applicable, principal payments commenced no more than sixty-two (62) days after the funds were disbursed to the Mortgagor in connection with the Mortgage Loan and on the first calendar day of the month. The Mortgage Loans have an original term to maturity of not more than thirty (30) years, with interest payable in arrears on the Maturity Date set forth on the related Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan on each applicable adjustment date, the interest rate will be adjusted to equal the sum of the Applicable Pricing Rate plus the applicable Type Margin, rounded up or down to the nearest or next highest multiple of 0.125% indicated by the Mortgage Note; provided that, the interest rate will not increase or decrease by more than the Periodic Interest Rate Cap on any adjustment date, and will in no event exceed the maximum interest rate or be lower than the minimum interest rate listed on the Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule for such Mortgage Loan. As to each adjustable rate mortgage loan which is not an interest only Mortgage Loan, each Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment which is sufficient to fully amortize the outstanding principal balance as of the first day of such period over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Note and to pay interest at the related interest rate. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, if the related interest rate changes on an adjustment date (or with respect to an Interest Only Mortgage Loan, on an adjustment date following the related interest-only period), the then outstanding principal balance will be reamortized over the remaining life of such Mortgage Loan. As to each fixed rate Mortgage Loan, each Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment which is sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the remaining term of such Mortgage Note and to pay interest at the related interest rate. No Mortgage Loan contains terms or provisions which would result in negative amortization. All adjustable rate Mortgage Loans have been adjusted on the adjustment date in compliance with all Applicable Laws and with the terms of the Mortgage Note.

(w) Customary Provisions. The Mortgage Note has a stated maturity. The Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby (such as for the enforcement of the lien against the Mortgaged Property), including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and foreclosure thereon, or trustee’s sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to

Exhibit H-7

deliver good and marketable title to the Mortgaged Property. There is no homestead or other exemption available to a Mortgagor or any other Person, or restriction on the Mortgagor or any other Person, including without limitation, any federal, state or local, law, ordinance, decree, regulation, guidance, attorney general action, or other pronouncement, whether temporary or permanent in nature, that would interfere with, restrict or delay, either (a) the ability of the Guarantor, Buyer or any servicer or any successor servicer to sell the related Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or otherwise, or (b) the ability of the Guarantor, Buyer or any servicer or any successor servicer to foreclose on the related Mortgage. The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to FHA, VA, RD, Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae. There is only one originally executed Mortgage Note, which is not stamped as a duplicate with respect to each Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Note has been (or will be as of the related Purchase Date) endorsed by a duly authorized officer of the originator for its own account and not as a fiduciary, trustee, trustor or beneficiary under a trust agreement.

(x) Certificate of Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. As of the date of origination, the Mortgaged Property (or with respect to a Cooperative Loan, the related Cooperative Unit) was lawfully occupied in accordance with the Mortgage and under Applicable Law and the Mortgaged Property (or with respect to a Cooperative Loan, the related Cooperative Unit) is lawfully occupied as of the Effective Date. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including, but not limited to, certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate Governmental Authorities and none of the originator, the Seller, the Guarantor, any prior owner of such Mortgage Loan, or any their respective Affiliates or assigns, or any other Person has received any notice regarding any noncompliance with any use or occupancy law, ordinance, regulation, standard, licenses or certificates with respect to such Mortgage Property.

(y) Occupancy. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the originator gave due consideration at the time of origination to factors, including, but not limited to, other real estate owned by Mortgagor, the commuting distance to work, appraiser comments and notes, the location of the property and any difference between the mailing address active in the servicing system and the Mortgaged Property address, to evaluate whether the intended occupancy status of the Mortgaged Property as represented by the Mortgagor was reasonable.

(z) No Additional Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral, pledged account or other security except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage, and unless otherwise indicated, at origination, such collateral does not serve as security for any other obligation.

(aa) Deeds of Trust. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under Applicable Law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the mortgagee or the trust to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor.

(bb) Acceptable Investment. There are no circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property (or with respect to a Cooperative Loan, the Cooperative Pledge Agreement, the Cooperative Unit or the Cooperative Project), the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that can reasonably be expected to cause private institutional investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become a Delinquent Mortgage Loan, or adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan.

Exhibit H-8

(cc) Mortgage Recorded; Transfer of Mortgage Loans. Each original Mortgage was recorded, and all subsequent assignments of the original Mortgage have been recorded in the appropriate jurisdictions in which such recordation is necessary to perfect the liens against creditors of the Guarantor or are in the process of being recorded. If applicable, with respect to each Mortgage that is not recorded in the name of MERS or its designee or is not otherwise required to be recorded pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Assignment, upon the insertion of the name of the assignee and recording information, is in recordable form (other than the name of the assignee if in blank) and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located. With respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan that is not a MOM Loan, the related Assignment to MERS has been duly and properly recorded, or has been delivered for recording to the applicable recording office. With respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, a MIN has been assigned by MERS and such MIN has been accurately provided to Buyer in the Mortgage Loan File. With respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, the Guarantor has or will within the timeline required in this Agreement, designate Buyer as the Investor and no Person is listed as Interim Funder on the MERS System. If the Guarantor was not the originator of the Mortgage Loan and except for MERS Loans, any assignments of Mortgage showing complete chain of title from the originator to the Guarantor or a predecessor in interest by merger have been, or are in the process of being, duly and properly recorded.

(dd) Mortgaged Property Undamaged. The Mortgaged Property (and with respect to a Cooperative Loan, the related Cooperative Project and Cooperative Unit) is in good repair and undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, hurricane, flood, tornado or other casualty so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were intended and such Mortgaged Property is in substantially the same condition it was in at the time the most recent appraised value was obtained.

(ee) Origination; Servicing and Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits. The origination practices used with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been in accordance with Applicable Law and the servicing and collection practices used with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, whether such servicing was done by the Guarantor, its affiliates, or any third-party or any subservicer or servicing agent of any of the foregoing. With respect to escrow deposits and escrow payments, all such payments are in the possession of the Guarantor and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All escrow payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law. No escrow deposits or escrow payments or other charges or payments have been capitalized under the Mortgage Note.

(ff) No Condemnation. At origination of the Mortgage Loan there was, and as of the Effective Date, there is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the related Mortgaged Property;

(gg) The Appraisal.

(i) Each Xxxxxx Xxx PIW Loan received an appraisal waiver from Xxxxxx Mae in accordance with the Xxxxxx Xxx Guide in effect at the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan through Xxxxxx Mae’s Property Inspection Waiver (PIW) program. The Guarantor does not have reason to believe that an Appraisal satisfying the requirements under subparagraph (iii) of this clause (gg) was warranted based on additional information the Guarantor has about the Mortgaged Property or other relevant factors contemplated under applicable Xxxxxx Xxx Guide.

(ii) Each Xxxxxxx Mac ACE Loan received an appraisal waiver from Xxxxxxx Mac in accordance with the Xxxxxxx Mac Guide in effect at the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan through Xxxxxxx Mac’s Automated Collateral Evaluation (ACE) program. The Guarantor does not have reason to believe that an Appraisal satisfying the requirements under subparagraph (iii) of this clause (gg) was warranted based on additional information the Guarantor has about the Mortgaged Property or other relevant factors contemplated under applicable Xxxxxxx Mac Guide.

Exhibit H-9
