GENERAL TERMS
Section 2.01. Transactions. (a) During the Commitment Period, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Buyer agrees to enter into Transactions with Seller for the applicable Purchase Price. Subject to Section 2.03(c), Seller may pay the Repurchase Price in whole or in part at any time during the Commitment Period, and additional Transactions may be entered into in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Buyer’s obligation to enter into Transactions pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall terminate on the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have no commitment or obligation to enter into Transactions to the extent the Purchase Price of such Transaction exceeds the Asset Base (determined after giving effect to such proposed purchase).
Section 2.02. Procedure for Entering into Transactions. (a) Seller may enter into Transactions with Buyer during the Commitment Period on any Purchase Date; provided, that Seller shall have given Buyer irrevocable notice (each, a “Transaction Notice”) with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Indenture Trustee, which notice (i) shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, (ii) shall be signed by a Responsible Officer of Seller and be received by Buyer prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) one (1) Business Day prior to the related Purchase Date, and (iii) shall specify (A) the Dollar amount of the requested Purchase Price, (B) the requested Purchase Date, (C) the information required to be included in the Asset Schedule with respect to each Participation Certificate subject of such Transaction in mutually acceptable electronic form and (D) a copy of the related “Funding Certification” being delivered pursuant to the Indenture in connection with such Transaction, if applicable. Each Transaction Notice on any Purchase Date shall be in an amount equal to at least $25,000.
(b) If Seller shall deliver to Buyer a Transaction Notice that satisfies the requirements of Section 2.02(a), Buyer will notify Seller prior to the requested Purchase Date of its intent to remit the requested Purchase Price, and the form or forms of the Consideration that will be provided, including (i) the portion of such Purchase Price that will paid in cash, if any
24
(ii) the Note Balance, or increased Note Balance, of any Variable Funding Note and (iii) the increased value of the Owner Trust Certificate, which increase will result from the deemed capital contribution to Buyer of any portion of the Purchase Price not paid pursuant to Clause (i) or (ii) above. If all applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article V have been satisfied on or prior to the Purchase Date, then subject to the foregoing, on the Purchase Date, Buyer shall deliver the Consideration to Seller, including remitting any cash portion of the requested Purchase Price identified by Buyer in Dollars and in immediately available funds to the account specified by Seller.
(c) Upon entering into each Transaction hereunder, the Asset Schedule shall be automatically updated to include each of the Assets listed on the Asset Schedule attached to the Transaction Notice.
Section 2.03. Repurchase; Payment of Repurchase Price. (a) Seller hereby promises to (i) repurchase the Purchased Assets and pay all outstanding Obligations on the related Repurchase Date and (ii) pay any and all Required Payments on the related MRA Payment Date.
(b) Without limiting the foregoing, on each MRA Payment Date (and, in addition, with respect to MBS Advance Reimbursement Amounts, on the third Business Day of each week other than the week of an MRA Payment Date or Interim Payment Date), Seller shall sweep all amounts received with respect to MSRs (including the related Advance Reimbursement Amounts) to the Collection and Funding Account subject to Section 6.12 hereof to be applied in accordance with Section 2.07 hereof.
(c) If permitted pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, Seller may, at its option, prepay, subject to Section 2.10 of this Agreement and Section 13.1 of the Indenture, the Purchase Price in whole or in part at any time, together with accrued and unpaid Price Differential on the amount so prepaid, together with the applicable Specified Call Premium Amounts (as defined in any Indenture Supplement) then due and payable, if any.

(a) On each MRA Payment Date, Seller hereby promises to pay to Buyer all accrued and unpaid Price Differential on the Transactions, as invoiced by Buyer two (2) Business Days prior to the related MRA Payment Date (the “Price Differential Statement Date”); provided that if Buyer fails to deliver such statement on the Price Differential Statement Date, on such MRA Payment Date Seller shall pay the amount which Seller calculates as the Price Differential due and upon delivery of the statement, Seller shall remit to Buyer any shortfall, or Buyer shall refund to Seller any excess, in the Price Differential paid. Price Differential shall accrue each day on the Purchase Price at a rate per annum equal to the Pricing Rate.
(b) In addition to the payment of the Price Differential, on each MRA Payment Date, Seller hereby promises to pay to Buyer all accrued and unpaid amounts representing Expenses, if any.
Section 2.05. Margin Maintenance. (a) If at any time the aggregate outstanding amount of the Purchase Price exceeds the Asset Base in effect at such time, as determined on each Interim Payment Date after taking into account any Transaction being effected on such date (such
25
excess, a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may by notice to Seller require Seller to eliminate the Margin Deficit (such requirement, a “Margin Call”) by effecting any or all of the following actions: (i) the transfer of cash to Buyer, (ii) the application of an Additional Note Payment to a Variable Funding Note (to the extent allowed under the related Indenture Supplement) or (iii) the reduction of the value of the Owner Trust Certificate; provided, however, that to the extent that there is a Borrowing Base Deficiency, Seller must cure any Margin Deficit pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) only.
(b) Notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.05(a) may be given by any written or electronic means. With respect to a Margin Call, any notice given before 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the following Business Day. With respect to a Margin Call, any notice given after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second (2nd) Business Day following the date of such notice. The foregoing time requirements for satisfaction of a Margin Call are referred to as the “Margin Deadlines”. The failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights hereunder, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer to do so at a later date. Seller and Buyer each agree that a failure or delay by Buyer to exercise its rights hereunder shall not limit or waive Buyer’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for Seller.
(c) In the event that a Margin Deficit exists, Buyer may retain any funds received by it to which Seller would otherwise be entitled hereunder, which funds (i) may be held by Buyer against the related Margin Deficit or (ii) may be applied by Buyer against the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer retains the right, in its sole discretion, to make a Margin Call in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.05.
(d) If at any time the aggregate outstanding amount of the Asset Base in effect at such time exceeds the Purchase Price, as determined on each Interim Payment Date after taking into account any Transaction being effecting on such date (such excess, a “Margin Excess”), then on any Purchase Date on which such Margin Excess exists, Seller may deliver a Transaction Notice to Buyer and request Buyer to deliver additional Consideration in the amount of such Margin Excess.
Section 2.06. Payment Procedure. Seller shall deposit or cause to be deposited all amounts constituting collection, payments and proceeds of Assets (including, without limitation, all fees and proceeds of sale) in the Dedicated Account as set forth in Section 6.12.

Section 2.07. Net Payments. (a) On each MRA Payment Date (and, in addition, with respect to MBS Advance Reimbursement Amounts, on the third Business Day of each week other than the week of a MRA Payment Date or Interim Payment Date), Seller shall pay all amounts due and owing under Sections 2.03, 2.04 or 2.05; however, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, such payments shall be netted against amounts otherwise distributable to Seller as the holder of the Owner Trust Certificate under the Indenture, and such payment obligation shall
26
be deemed paid and satisfied upon the payment of the Net Payment Amount for such MRA Payment Date.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Seller shall be entitled to retain, from payments on, or relating to, the Mortgage Loans, all Ancillary Income. Ancillary Income shall not be required to be deposited into the Dedicated Account, and shall not be subject to any offset, netting or withdrawal under this Agreement.
Section 2.08. Recourse. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained or implied herein or in any other Program Agreement, Buyer shall have full, unlimited recourse against Seller and Guarantor and their respective assets in order to satisfy the Obligations.
Section 2.09. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by Seller or Guarantor under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Program Agreements to which Seller or Guarantor is a party shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto, whether now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation authority or other Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), unless required by law. If Seller or Guarantor shall be required under any applicable Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Program Agreements to Buyer (including for purposes of this Section 2.09, any assignee, successor or participant), (i) Seller or Guarantor, as applicable, shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) Seller or Guarantor, as applicable, shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any applicable Requirement of Law, and (iii) the sum payable by Seller or Guarantor, as applicable, shall be increased as may be necessary so that after Seller or Guarantor, as applicable, has made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.09) such Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement the term “Non-Excluded Taxes” are Taxes other than, in the case of Buyer, Taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Buyer is organized, or any political subdivision thereof, unless such Taxes are imposed as a result of Buyer having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received payments under, or enforced, this Agreement or any of the other Program Agreements (in which case such Taxes will be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes).
(b) In addition, Seller and Guarantor hereby agree to pay any present or future stamp, recording, documentary, excise, property or value-added taxes, or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Program Agreement or from the execution, delivery or registration of, any performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Program Agreement (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable by Seller or Guarantor, as applicable, under this Section 2.09 imposed on or paid by such Buyer and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity by Seller and Guarantor provided for in this Section 2.09 shall apply and be made whether or not the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally asserted. Amounts payable by Seller and Guarantor under the indemnity set forth in this Section 2.09(c) shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which Buyer makes written demand therefor.
(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Seller contained in this Section 2.09 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Program Agreements. Nothing contained in this Section 2.09 shall require any Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.
Section 2.10. Indemnity. The Seller agrees to indemnify the Buyer and to hold the Buyer harmless from any loss or expense that the Buyer may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) a default by the Seller in payment when due of the Repurchase Price, Required Payment, Margin Deficit or Price Differential or (ii) a default by the Seller in making any prepayment of Repurchase Price after the Seller has given a notice thereof in accordance with Section 2.03.
Section 2.11. Dedicated Account.
Buyer shall establish and maintain the Dedicated Account in the form of a time deposit or demand account. Amounts received on account of MSRs, including Advance Reimbursement Amounts and Portfolio Excess Spread (including Purchased MSR Excess Spread but excluding Ancillary Income) and retained by Seller pursuant to the related Servicing Contract or Participation Agreement, as the case may be, shall, subject to Section 6.12, promptly, in any event within two (2) Business Days after receipt, be deposited in the Dedicated Account. Funds deposited in the Dedicated Account (including any interest paid on such funds) may only be used in accordance with Section 6.12 and, further, on or after the occurrence of an Event of Default may only be used to pay the Obligations hereunder. Upon the Termination Date and the payment of all amounts due by Seller hereunder, all amounts on deposit in the Dedicated Account shall be remitted to Seller.
Section 2.12. Additional Participation Agreements and Participation Certificates.
In the event that Seller wishes to enter into a Transaction with respect to a Participation Agreement or Participation Certificate not listed on Schedule 2 hereto, Seller shall deliver a written request, substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto.

Section 4.02. Security Interest. (a) Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases and not loans (other than the MSRs, which are pledged, and not sold, to Buyer), in the event any such Transactions are deemed to be loans, and in any event, Seller hereby pledges to Buyer as security for the performance by Seller of its Obligations and hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a fully perfected first priority security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under each of the following items of

(b) Seller hereby assigns, pledges, conveys and grants a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Repurchase Assets to Buyer to secure the Obligations. Seller agrees to xxxx its computer records and tapes to evidence the interests granted to Buyer hereunder.
(c) The parties acknowledge that Xxxxxx Mae has certain rights under the Acknowledgment Agreement, including the right to cause the Seller to transfer servicing to Buyer or Buyer’s designee under certain circumstances as more particularly set forth therein. To the extent that Xxxxxx Xxx requires a transfer of MSRs to a Successor Issuer, and in order to secure Seller’s obligations to effect such transfer, Seller hereby assigns, pledges, conveys and grants a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the MSRs to such Successor Issuer, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located. The parties acknowledge that, to the extent that Xxxxxx Mae exercises its rights to cause Seller to transfer the MSRs, including Advance Reimbursement Amounts and Portfolio Excess Spread, to a Successor Issuer (and, if accepted by Buyer, to cause a Successor Issuer to accept and assume the responsibility for performing Seller’s servicing duties under, and otherwise complying with the related Servicing Contract) without the requirement of payment therefor, such transfer shall be deemed a transfer in exchange for debt forgiveness by Buyer in an amount equal to the
34
lesser of (x) the fair market value of such MSRs, including Advance Reimbursement Amounts and Portfolio Excess Spread and (y) the outstanding balance of the Repurchase Price attributable to such MSRs, including Advance Reimbursement Amounts and Portfolio Excess Spread, each as determined by Buyer. The Successor Issuer shall have all the rights and remedies against Seller and the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets as set forth herein and under the UCC.

Section 4.04. Limited Pledge of Xxxxxx Xxx Servicing. The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that (x) the Seller is entitled to servicing income with respect to a given mortgage pool and reimbursement for advance amounts only so long as Seller is a Xxxxxx Mae approved issuer; (y) upon the Seller’s loss of such approved issuer status, the Buyer’s rights to any servicing income and reimbursement for advance amounts related to a given mortgage pool also terminate; and (z) the pledge of the Seller’s rights to servicing income and reimbursement for advance amounts conveys no rights (such as a right to become a substitute servicer or issuer) that are not otherwise specifically provided for in the Xxxxxx Xxx Contract, provided that this sentence shall automatically be deemed amended or modified if and to the extent Xxxxxx Mae amends the Xxxxxx Xxx Contract, the applicable Acknowledgment Agreement, if any, or published announcements and provided further that the security interest created hereby is subject to the following provision to be included in each financing statement filed in respect hereof (defined terms used below shall have the meaning set forth in the applicable Acknowledgment Agreement):

35
Government National Mortgage Association (“Xxxxxx Mae”), pursuant to section 306(g) of the National Housing Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1721(g);
(ii) To the extent that the security interest reflected in this instrument relates in any way to the Pooled Mortgages, such security interest is subject and subordinate to all rights, powers and prerogatives of Xxxxxx Xxx, whether now existing or hereafter arising, under and in connection with: (i) 12 U.S.C. § 1721(g) and any implementing regulations; (ii) the terms and conditions of that certain Third Amended and Restated Acknowledgment Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2020, with respect to the Security Interest, by and among Xxxxxx Mae, Debtor and Citibank, as indenture trustee; (iii) applicable Guaranty Agreements and contractual agreements between Xxxxxx Xxx and the Debtor; and (iv) the Xxxxxx Mae Contract and other applicable guides;

Changes in Locations, Name, etc. Seller shall not (a) change the location of its chief executive office/chief place of business from that specified in Section 3.13 or (b) change its name or identity, unless it shall have given Buyer at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof and shall have delivered to Buyer all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and amendments thereto as Buyer shall request and taken all other actions deemed necessary by Buyer to continue its perfected status in the Repurchase Assets with the same or better priority.
Section 4.06. Buyer’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.
(a) Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Buyer and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Seller and in the name of Seller or in its own name, from time to time in Buyer’s discretion if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of

(iv) request distribution to Buyer of sale proceeds or any applicable contract termination fees arising from the sale or termination of such MSRs and remaining after satisfaction of Seller’s relevant obligations to Xxxxxx Mae, including costs and expenses related to any such sale or transfer of such MSRs and other amounts due for unmet obligations of Seller to Xxxxxx Xxx under the Xxxxxx Mae Contract;
(v) deal with investors and any and all subservicers and master servicers in respect of any of the Repurchase Assets in the same manner and with the same effect as if done by Seller; and

37
Repurchase Assets and Buyer’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Seller might do.
(b) Seller hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until such time as all Obligations have been paid in full and this Agreement is terminated.

(d) The powers conferred on Buyer are solely to protect Buyer’s interests in the Repurchase Assets and shall not impose any duty upon Buyer to exercise any such powers. Buyer shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither Buyer nor any of its officers, directors, or employees shall be responsible to Seller for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for Buyer’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or any of the other Program Agreements, any appointment set forth in this Section 4.06, as well as Buyer’s exercise (or purported exercise) of any right, power or authority given by Seller hereunder, shall be subject to the Xxxxxx Xxx Contract and the Acknowledgment Agreement.
Section 4.07. Performance by Buyer of Seller’s Obligations. If Seller fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in the Program Agreements and Buyer may itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the reasonable (under the circumstances) out-of-pocket expenses of Buyer actually incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Pricing Rate shall be payable by Seller to Buyer on demand and shall constitute Obligations. Such interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed from and including the preceding MRA Payment Date to and excluding such date of determination and a 360 day year.
Section 4.08. Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (a) all proceeds of Repurchase Assets received by Seller consisting of cash, checks and other liquid assets readily convertible to cash items shall be held by Seller in trust for Buyer, segregated from other funds of Seller, and shall forthwith upon receipt by Seller be turned over to Buyer in the exact form received by Seller (duly endorsed by Seller to Buyer, if required) and (b) any and all such proceeds received by Buyer (whether from Seller or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of Buyer, be held by Buyer as collateral security for, and/or then or at any time thereafter may be applied by Buyer against, the Obligations (whether matured or unmatured), such application to be in such order as Buyer shall elect. Any balance of such proceeds remaining after the Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Agreement shall have been terminated shall be paid over to Seller or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any of the other Program Agreements, the provisions of this Section
38
4.08 shall be subject to the applicable Servicing Contracts and the Acknowledgment Agreement entered into with Xxxxxx Mae.
Section 4.09. Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Buyer may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (including without limitation, Buyer’s rights to a strict foreclosure under Section 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer may seek the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee, or similar official in respect of Seller or any of Seller’s property. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer may terminate a Participation Interest in accordance with the applicable Participation Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required under this Agreement or by law referred to below) to or upon Seller or any other Person (each and all of which demands, presentments, protests, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Repurchase Assets, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Repurchase Assets or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels or as an entirety at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of Buyer or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Buyer shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Repurchase Assets so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Seller, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. Seller further agrees, at Buyer’s request, to assemble the Repurchase Assets and make it available to Buyer at places which Buyer shall reasonably select, whether at Seller’s premises or elsewhere. Buyer shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable (under the circumstances) out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every kind actually incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Repurchase Assets or in any way relating to the Repurchase Assets or the rights of Buyer hereunder, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as Buyer may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by Buyer of any other amount required or permitted by any provision of law, including without limitation Section 9-615 of the Uniform Commercial Code, need Buyer account for the surplus, if any, to Seller. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Seller waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Buyer arising out of the exercise by Buyer of any of its rights hereunder, other than those claims, damages and demands arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Buyer. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Repurchase Assets shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. Seller shall remain liable for any deficiency (plus accrued interest thereon as contemplated herein) if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Repurchase Assets are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the fees and disbursements in amounts reasonable under the circumstances, of any attorneys employed by Buyer to collect such deficiency. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any of the other Program Agreements, the
39
remedies set forth in this Section 4.09 shall be subject to the applicable Servicing Contracts and the Acknowledgment Agreement entered into with Xxxxxx Xxx.
Section 4.10. Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Repurchase Assets. Indenture Trustee’s duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Repurchase Assets in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Buyer deals with similar property for its own account. Neither Buyer nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Repurchase Assets or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Repurchase Assets upon the request of Seller or otherwise.
Section 4.11. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Repurchase Assets are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.
Section 4.12. Release of Security Interest. Upon the latest to occur of (a) the repayment to Buyer of all Obligations and the performance of all obligations under the Program Agreements, and (b) the occurrence of the Termination Date, Buyer shall release its security interest in any remaining Repurchase Assets hereunder and shall promptly execute and deliver to Seller such documents or instruments as Seller shall reasonably request to evidence such release; provided, that such release shall not be required until such time as the Acknowledgment Agreement is terminated.
Section 4.13. Reinstatement. All security interests created by this Article IV shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation of Seller or Guarantor is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Buyer upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Seller or Guarantor or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Seller or Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as if such release had not been made.
Section 4.14. Subordination.
(a) It is anticipated that in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Program Agreements, that (x) PMH is pledging the Purchased MSR Excess Spread to the Seller subject to the Lien of the Buyer and (y) Seller hereby reaffirms such Lien. Seller acknowledges and agrees that its rights with respect to the Repurchase Assets under the Master Spread Acquisition Agreement are and shall continue to be at all times junior and subordinate to (i) the rights of Buyer under this Agreement and (ii) the rights of the Buyer under the PMH Subordination Agreement. In connection with the foregoing, Seller agrees to subordinate all of the rights under the Master Spread Acquisition Agreement to the rights of the Buyer hereunder and under the other Program Agreements. In furtherance of the foregoing, notwithstanding any rights or remedies available to Seller under the Master Spread Acquisition Agreement and PMH Documents, Applicable Law or otherwise, Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, exercise any remedies available to it under the Master Spread Acquisition Agreement and PMH Documents or at law or equity for ninety-one (91) days following the date that all Obligations are paid in full under the
40
Program Agreements. In no instance shall the Buyer succeed to any liabilities or obligations of Seller under the Master Spread Acquisition Agreement or the PMH Documents.
(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller agrees to not assert any objection to, and shall be deemed to have otherwise consented to, a disposition of any assets subject to the Master Spread Acquisition Agreement, PMH Documents or the Program Agreements during an Act of Insolvency of PMH or Seller, free and clear of any lien, encumbrance, pledge or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar bankruptcy law) if Buyer has consented to such disposition.
(c) If an Act of Insolvency of PMH or Seller occurs, the Seller agrees not to contest (or support any other Person contesting) any request by Buyer for adequate protection, or any objection by Buyer to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on Buyer claiming a lack of adequate protection.
(d) Until the obligations under the Program Agreements are paid in full, the Seller shall not oppose any request by Buyer for relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Act of Insolvency of PMH or Seller.
(e) Seller shall not oppose or seek to challenge any claim by Buyer for allowance and payment in any Act of Insolvency of PMH or Seller, of obligations under the Program Agreements consisting of post-petition interest, fees, costs or other charges to the extent of the value of Buyer’s lien, encumbrance, pledge or other claims on the assets that are the subject of this Agreement, the PMH Subordination Agreement or the PMH Documents, without regard to the existence of a lien, encumbrance, pledge or other claims of PMH applicable to the obligations of the other parties to the Program Agreements.
(f) Seller shall not seek in any Act of Insolvency of PMH or Seller, to be treated as part of the same class of creditors as Buyer and shall not oppose any pleading or motion by Buyer advocating that Buyer and PMH and Seller should be treated as separate classes of creditors. Seller acknowledges and agrees that its rights with respect to the Repurchase Assets are and shall continue to be at all times junior and subordinate to the rights of Buyer under this Agreement.

Section 10.08. Periodic Due Diligence Review. Seller and Guarantor acknowledge that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to Seller and Guarantor and the Assets, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and Seller and Guarantor agree that upon reasonable (but no less than five (5) Business Day’s) prior notice unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case no notice is required, to Seller or Guarantor, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours, and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the ordinary conduct of Seller’s or Guarantor’s business, to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Assets in the possession or under the control of Seller or Guarantor. Seller and Guarantor also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller and Guarantor acknowledge that Buyer may enter into a Transaction related to any Purchased Assets from Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer in the Asset Schedule and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Assets related to a Transaction. Seller and Guarantor agree to cooperate with Buyer and any third party underwriter in connection with such 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 such Purchased Assets in the possession, or under the control, of Seller or Guarantor.
Section 10.09. Hypothecation or Pledge of Repurchase Assets. Subject to the applicable Acknowledgment Agreement, Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all Repurchase Assets and nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with all or a portion of the Repurchase Assets or otherwise pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating all or a portion of the Repurchase Assets.
Section 10.10. Non-Confidentiality of Tax Treatment. (a) This Agreement and its terms, provisions, supplements and amendments, and notices hereunder, are proprietary to Buyer or Seller and Guarantor, as applicable, and shall be held by each party hereto, as applicable in strict confidence and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the written consent of Buyer (at the written direction of the Administrative Agent), Seller or Guarantor, as applicable, except for (i) disclosure to Buyer’s, Seller’s or Guarantor’s direct and indirect Affiliates and Subsidiaries, attorneys or accountants, but only to the extent such disclosure is necessary and such parties agree to hold all information in strict confidence, (ii) disclosure to the parties to the Indenture, including, but not limited to, noteholders and investors related thereto, but only to the extent such disclosure is necessary and such parties agree to hold all information in strict confidence, or (iii) disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Program Agreements, the parties hereto may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, any fact relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such federal, state and local tax treatment and that may be relevant to understanding such tax treatment; provided that Seller may not disclose the name of or identifying information with respect to Buyer or any pricing
58
terms (including, without limitation, the Pricing Rate, Purchase Price Percentage and Purchase Price) or other nonpublic business or financial information (including any sublimits and financial covenants) that is unrelated to the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions and is not relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, without the prior written consent of Buyer (at the written direction of the Administrative Agent).
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall comply with all applicable local, state and federal laws, including, without limitation, all privacy and data protection law, rules and regulations that are applicable to the Repurchase Assets and/or any applicable terms of this Agreement (the “Confidential Information”). Seller understands that the Confidential Information may contain “nonpublic personal information”, as that term is defined in Section 509(4) of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act (the “GLB Act”), and Seller agrees to maintain such nonpublic personal information that it receives hereunder in accordance with the GLB Act and other applicable federal and state privacy laws. Seller shall implement such physical and other security measures as shall be necessary to (a) ensure the security and confidentiality of the “nonpublic personal information” of the “customers” and “consumers” (as those terms are defined in the GLB Act) of Buyer, the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent which Seller holds, (b) protect against any threats or hazards to the security and integrity of such nonpublic personal information, and (c) protect against any unauthorized access to or use of such nonpublic personal information. Seller represents and warrants that it has implemented appropriate measures to meet the objectives of Section 501(b) of the GLB Act and of the applicable standards adopted pursuant thereto, as now or hereafter in effect. Upon request, Seller will provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to allow Buyer to confirm that the providing party has satisfied its obligations as required under this section. Without limitation, this may include Buyer’s review of audits, summaries of test results, and other equivalent evaluations of Seller. Seller shall notify Buyer promptly following discovery of any breach or compromise of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of nonpublic personal information of the customers and consumers of Buyer, the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent provided directly to Seller by Buyer or the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent. Seller shall provide such notice to Buyer by personal delivery, by facsimile with confirmation of receipt, or by overnight courier with confirmation of receipt to the applicable requesting individual.
Section 10.11. Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer hereunder and by law, Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice to Seller or Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by Seller and Guarantor to the extent permitted by Applicable Law to set-off and appropriate and apply against any Obligation from Seller, Guarantor or any Affiliate thereof to Buyer, the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other obligation (including to return funds to Seller), credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by or due from Buyer, the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent to or for the credit or the account of Seller, Guarantor or any Affiliate thereof. Buyer agrees promptly to notify Seller or Guarantor after any such set off and application made by Buyer; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application.
Section 10.12. Intent.
59
(a) The parties recognize that each Transaction is a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended and that all payments hereunder are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments” as defined in Title 11 of the United States Code.
(b) It is understood that either party’s right to liquidate Purchased Assets delivered to it in connection with Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 7.03 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate such Transaction as described in Section 555 and Section 561 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended.
(c) The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended from time to time (“FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term is defined in FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).
(d) It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA).
(e) This Agreement is intended to be a “securities contract,” within the meaning of Section 555 under the Bankruptcy Code, and a “master netting agreement,” within the meaning of Section 561 under the Bankruptcy Code.
Section 10.13. Third Party Beneficiaries. (a) The Administrative Agent, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall be express third party beneficiaries of this Agreement.
Section 10.14. Owner Trustee Limitation of Liability. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this Agreement is executed and delivered by WSFS, not individually or personally but solely as trustee of the Issuer, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it, (b) each of the representations, warranties, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the Issuer is made and intended not as personal representations, warranties, undertakings and agreements by WSFS but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Issuer, (c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on WSFS, individually or personally, to perform any covenant either expressed or implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties hereto and by any Person claiming by, through or under the parties hereto, (d) WSFS has made no investigation as to the accuracy or completeness of any representations or warranties made by the Issuer in this Agreement and (e) under no circumstances shall WSFS be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Issuer or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Issuer under this Agreement or any other related documents.
60
Section 10.15. Actions and Discretion of Buyer. Any provision providing for the exercise of any action or discretion by Buyer shall be exercised by the Indenture Trustee at the written direction of either 100% of the VFN Noteholders or the Majority Noteholders of all Outstanding Notes. To the extent there are conflicting directions between 100% of the VFN Noteholders and the Majority Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee will take its direction from 100% of the VFN Noteholders. In addition, and notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, any approvals, consents, votes or other rights exercisable by Buyer under this Agreement shall be exercised by the Indenture Trustee on behalf of Noteholders.
Section 10.16. Amendment and Restatement; Consent. As of the date hereof, the terms and conditions of the Original PC Repurchase Agreement shall be amended and restated as set forth herein and the Original PC Repurchase Agreement shall be superseded by this Agreement. The rights and obligations of the parties evidenced by the Original PC Repurchase Agreement shall be evidenced by this Agreement and shall continue to be in full force and effect as set forth in this Agreement. Each of the Buyer, Seller, the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent, the Indenture Trustee and CSCIB, as 100% of the VFN Noteholders, hereby consents to this Agreement and acknowledges and agrees that the amendments effected by this Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date. CSCIB, as 100% of the VFN Noteholders, hereby directs the Indenture Trustee to execute this Agreement.
