b.    If Seller fails to pay all or part of the Price Differential by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the related Payment Date, with respect to any Purchased Asset, Seller shall be obligated to pay to Buyer (in addition to, and together with, the amount of such Price Differential) interest on the unpaid Repurchase Price at a rate per annum equal to the Post-Default Rate until the Price Differential is received in full by Buyer.
6.    Margin Maintenance
a.    If at any time the outstanding Purchase Price allocated to any Purchased Asset, Contributed REO Property or Transaction Mortgage Loan subject to a Transaction is greater than the Asset Value allocated to such Purchased Asset, Contributed REO Property or Transaction Mortgage Loan subject to a Transaction (a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may by notice to Seller require Seller to transfer to Buyer cash in an amount at least equal to the Margin Deficit (such requirement, a “Margin Call”).
b.    Notice delivered pursuant to Section 6.a above may be given by any written or electronic means. Any notice given before 10:00 a.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 such Business Day; notice given after 10:00 a.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 (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 with respect to any Purchased Asset, Contributed REO Property or Transaction Mortgage Loan, Buyer may retain any funds received by it to which the Seller would otherwise be entitled hereunder, which funds (i) shall be held by Buyer against the related Margin Deficit for a Transaction Mortgage Loan or Contributed REO Property and (ii) will be applied by Buyer against the Allocated Repurchase Price related to such Purchased Asset, Contributed REO Property or Transaction Mortgage Loan for which the related Margin Deficit remains otherwise unsatisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer retains the right, in its sole discretion, to make a Margin Call in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.
7.    Income Payments
a.    All Income received on account of the Purchased Assets, Contributed REO Property and Transaction Mortgage Loans during the term of a Transaction shall be the property of Buyer.
b.    Notwithstanding that certain Transaction Mortgage Loans and Contributed REO Property are owned by the related Transaction Subsidiary or REO Subsidiary, as applicable, the Seller, as Nominee, shall be listed as the mortgagee of record and shall deposit all claims submitted on account of Early Buyout HECM Loans into the payee account (the “Clearing Account”) and shall transfer all such amounts so received into the Inbound Account as set forth below.
c.    With respect to Early Buyout HECM Loans and Contributed REO Properties, Seller shall and shall cause the applicable Servicer to deposit all Income related to any (x) prepayment of principal in full with respect to any Transaction Mortgage Loan, (y) HUD claim payments or (z) liquidation proceeds from any REO Property into the Inbound Account (x) within one (1) Business Day following receipt thereof if received by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) and (y) within two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof if received after 3:00 p.m. (New York City time). To the extent HUD deducts from amounts otherwise due on account of an Early Buyout HECM Loan subject to the Agreement, any amounts owing by Servicer to HUD, Seller shall give prompt written notice thereof to Buyer and shall deposit, within one (1) Business Day following notice or knowledge of such deduction by HUD, such deducted amounts into the Inbound Account. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, funds deposited in the Inbound Account shall be held therein and shall be applied on each Payment Date following receipt thereof prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default as follows:
(1)    first, to Buyer on account of unpaid fees, expenses, indemnity amounts, Price Differential and any other amounts then due and owing to the Buyer (including, without limitation, any amount sufficient to eliminate any outstanding Margin Deficit ) from the Seller under this Agreement; and
(2)    second, all remaining amounts (if any), to the Seller.
d.    Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section 7, (i) upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default or on the Termination Date, Seller shall and shall cause Servicer to deposit all Income to the Inbound Account upon receipt thereof and Buyer shall apply all Income in the Inbound Account to reduce the Obligations hereunder to zero; and (ii) within one (1) Business Day after receipt by Seller of any (x) prepayment of principal in full with respect to any Transaction Mortgage Loan, (y) HUD claims payments or (z) liquidation proceeds from any REO Property, Seller shall remit such amount to Buyer and Buyer shall apply any such amount received by Buyer to reduce the amount of the Allocated Repurchase Price due upon termination of the related Transaction.

c.    Acquisition of REO Property. If the REO Subsidiary acquires any REO Property by extinguishing any Mortgage Note in connection with the foreclosure of the related Transaction Mortgage Loan, transferring the real property underlying the Mortgage Note in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise transferring of such real property, the REO Subsidiary shall cause such real property to be taken by Deed, or by means of such instruments as is provided by the Governmental Authority governing the transfer, or right to request transfer and issuance of the Deed, or such instrument as is provided by the related Governmental Authority, or to be acquired through foreclosure sale in the jurisdiction in which the REO Property is located, in the name of the Nominee in accordance with Section 40 hereof.
d.    Purchased Assets as Securities. The parties acknowledge and agree that the REO Subsidiary Interests and Transaction Subsidiary Interests shall constitute and remain “securities” as defined in Section 8-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code; Seller Parties covenant and agree that (i) the REO Subsidiary Interests and the Transaction Subsidiary Interests are not and will not be dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or securities markets, and (ii) the REO Subsidiary Interests and the Transaction Subsidiary Interests are not and will not be investment company securities within the meaning of Section 8-103 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, take all steps as may be necessary in connection with the re-registration, indorsement, transfer, delivery and pledge of all REO Subsidiary Interests and Transaction Subsidiary Interests to Buyer.
e.    Additional Interests. If Seller shall, as a result of ownership of the REO Subsidiary Interests and/or the Transaction Subsidiary Interests, become entitled to receive or shall receive any certificate evidencing any REO Subsidiary Interests and/or Transaction Subsidiary Interests or other equity interest, any option rights, or any equity interest in the REO Subsidiary Interests and/or Transaction Subsidiary Interests, whether in addition to, in substitution for, as a conversion of, or in exchange for the REO Subsidiary Interests and/or Transaction Subsidiary Interests, or otherwise in respect thereof, Seller shall accept the same as the Buyer’s agent, hold the same in trust for the Buyer and deliver the same forthwith to the Buyer in the exact form received, duly indorsed by the Seller to the Buyer, if required, together with an undated transfer power, if required, covering such certificate duly executed in blank, or if requested, deliver Certificates re-registered in the name of Buyer, to be held by the Buyer subject to the terms hereof as additional security for the Obligations. Any sums paid upon or in respect of the REO Subsidiary Interests and/or the Transaction Subsidiary Interests upon the liquidation or dissolution of the REO Subsidiary and/or the Transaction Subsidiary, or otherwise shall be paid over to the Buyer as additional security for the Obligations.

In no event shall Buyer be required to vote or exercise any right or take any other action which would impair the Purchased Assets or which would be inconsistent with or result in a violation of any provision of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall have no obligation (other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement) to (i) vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, the REO Subsidiary and/or the Transaction Subsidiary to issue any interests of any nature or to issue any other interests convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any interests of such entity; (ii) sell, assign, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Purchased Assets; or (iii) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, the Seller’s interest in the Purchased Assets except for the Lien provided for by this Agreement. In no event shall Buyer enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of Seller to sell, assign or transfer the Purchased Assets prior to an Event of Default. For the avoidance of doubt, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, neither the Transaction Subsidiary nor the REO Subsidiary shall need the consent of Buyer with respect to the day-to-day operations thereof and any related resolution required to verify authority for such transactions, so long as such day-to-day operations are performed in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Subsidiary Agreement, the REO Subsidiary Agreement and this Agreement, as applicable.
g.    Servicing Rights. Each Seller Party acknowledges that it has no rights to service the Transaction Mortgage Loans and Contributed REO Properties.

The foregoing provision is intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to this Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Sections 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Seller shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section 8.

k.    The parties acknowledge and agree that the intent of the parties is for the Seller to xxxxx x Xxxx to Buyer on the Additional Repurchase Assets prior to conveying them to the Transaction Subsidiary and/or the REO Subsidiary and that the Transaction Subsidiary or the REO Subsidiary, as applicable, is acquiring any Additional Repurchase Asset subject to and subordinate to Buyer’s Lien hereunder. It is further intended that simultaneous with the acquisition of the Transaction Subsidiary of the Transaction Subsidiary Repurchase Assets or the REO Subsidiary of the REO Subsidiary Assets, as applicable, the Transaction Subsidiary intends to xxxxx x Xxxx on such Transaction Subsidiary Repurchase Assets to Buyer hereunder and the REO Subsidiary intends to xxxxx x Xxxx on such REO Subsidiary Repurchase Assets to Buyer hereunder.

(C) if a payment made to a Buyer or Buyer assignee under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Buyer or assignee 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 or assignee shall deliver to the Seller at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the 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 the Seller as may be necessary for the Seller to comply with their obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 11(e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
The applicable IRS forms referred to above shall be delivered by each applicable Buyer or Buyer assignee on or prior to the date on which such person becomes a Buyer or Buyer assignee under this Agreement, as the case may be, and upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any IRS form previously delivered by it hereunder.
f.    Any indemnification payable by Seller to Buyer or any Buyer assignee for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes that are imposed on Buyer or a Buyer assignee, as described in Section 11(e)(i) hereof, shall be paid by Seller within ten (10) days after demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Seller by Buyer or a Buyer assignee shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
g.    Each party’s obligations under this Section 11 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, Buyer or a Buyer assignee, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Program Agreement.
h.    Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Assets, Transaction Mortgage Loans and Contributed REO Property, and the Purchased Assets as owned by Seller and the Transaction Mortgage Loans as owned by Transaction Subsidiary and the Contributed REO Properties as owned by REO Subsidiary in the absence of an Event of Default by Seller. Buyer and Seller agree that they will treat and report for all tax purposes the Transactions entered into hereunder as one or more loans from Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased Assets, Transaction Mortgage Loans and Contributed REO Properties, unless otherwise prohibited by law or upon a final determination by any taxing authority that the Transactions are not loans for tax purposes.
12.    Servicing
a.    Each Seller Party, on Buyer’s behalf, shall contract with Servicer to, or if Seller is the Servicer, Seller shall, service the Transaction Mortgage Loans and Contributed REO Properties for each Seller Party hereunder consistent with the degree of skill and care that Seller customarily requires with respect to similar Transaction Mortgage Loans and Contributed REO Properties owned or managed by it and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Each Seller Party and Servicer shall (i) comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations, (ii) maintain all state and federal licenses necessary for it to perform its servicing responsibilities (if any) hereunder and (iii) not impair the rights of Buyer in any Transaction Mortgage Loan or Contributed REO Property or any payment thereunder. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer may terminate the servicing of any Transaction Mortgage Loan or Contributed REO Property with the then-existing Servicer in accordance with Section 12.e hereof.
b.    Each Seller Party shall and shall cause the Servicer to hold or cause to be held all escrow funds collected by such Seller Party and Servicer with respect to any Transaction Mortgage Loans and Contributed REO Properties in trust accounts and shall apply the same for the purposes for which such funds were collected.
c.    Reserved.
d.    In the event there is a third party Servicer other than Seller and upon Buyer’s request, Seller shall provide promptly to Buyer a Servicer Notice addressed to and agreed to by the Servicer of the related Transaction Mortgage Loans and Contributed REO Properties, advising such Servicer of such matters as Buyer may reasonably request, including, without limitation, recognition by the Servicer of Buyer’s interest in such Transaction Mortgage Loans and Contributed REO Properties and the Servicer’s agreement that upon receipt of notice of an Event of Default from Buyer, it will follow the instructions of Buyer with respect to the Transaction Mortgage Loans and Contributed REO Properties and any related Income with respect thereto.
e.    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon written notice, Buyer shall have the right to immediately terminate the Servicer’s right to service the Transaction Mortgage Loans and Contributed REO Properties without payment of any penalty or termination fee. Each Seller Party and the Servicer shall cooperate in transferring the servicing of the Transaction Mortgage Loans and Contributed REO Properties to a successor servicer appointed by Buyer in its sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt any termination of the Servicer’s rights to service by the Buyer as a result of an Event of Default shall be deemed part of an exercise of the Buyer’s rights to cause the liquidation, termination or acceleration of this Agreement.
f.    If any Seller Party should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, such Seller Party or any entity responsible to such Seller Party for managing or servicing any such Transaction Mortgage Loan or Contributed REO Property has failed to perform fully such Seller Party’s obligations under the Program Agreements or any of the obligations of such entities with respect to the Transaction Mortgage Loans and Contributed REO Properties, such Seller Party shall promptly notify Buyer.
g.    Reserved.
h.    For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller Parties do not retain any economic rights to the servicing of the Transaction Mortgage Loans and Contributed REO Properties; provided that the Seller shall and shall cause the Servicer to continue to service the Transaction Mortgage Loans and Contributed REO Properties hereunder as part of its Obligations hereunder. As such, each Seller Party expressly acknowledges that the Transaction Mortgage Loans are transferred to the Transaction Subsidiary and pledged to Buyer on a “servicing released” basis and the Contributed REO Property is transferred to REO Subsidiary on a “servicing released” basis and pledged to Buyer on a “servicing released” basis.
13.    Representations and Warranties
a.    Seller represents and warrants to Buyer as of the date hereof and as of each Purchase Date for any Transaction that:
(1)    Seller Party Existence. Seller has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. REO Subsidiary has been duly organized and is validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Transaction Subsidiary is a common law trust.
(2)    Licenses. Each Seller Party is duly licensed or is otherwise qualified in each jurisdiction in which it transacts business for the business which it conducts and is not in default of any applicable federal, state or local laws, rules and regulations unless, in either instance, the failure to take such action is not reasonably likely (either individually or in the aggregate) to cause a Material Adverse Effect. Each Seller Party has the requisite power and authority and legal right to originate and purchase Mortgage Loans (as applicable) and to own, sell and xxxxx x xxxx on all of its right, title and interest in and to the Transaction Mortgage Loans, and to execute and deliver, engage in the transactions contemplated by, and perform and observe the terms and conditions of, each Program Agreement and any Transaction Request. Seller is an FHA Approved Mortgagee and, to the extent Seller is originating VA Loans, a VA Approved Lender.
(3)    Power. Each Seller Party has all requisite corporate or other power, and has all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted, except where the lack of such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(4)    Due Authorization. Each Seller Party has all necessary corporate or other power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Program Agreements, as applicable. Each Program Agreement has been (or, in the case of Program Agreements not yet executed, will be) duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Seller Party, all requisite or other corporate action having been taken, and each is valid, binding and enforceable against such Seller Party in accordance with its terms except as such enforcement may be affected by bankruptcy, by other insolvency laws, or by general principles of equity.
(5)    Reserved.
(6)    Event of Default. There exists no Event of Default under Section 15 hereof, which default gives rise to a right to accelerate indebtedness as referenced in Section 15 hereof, under any mortgage, borrowing agreement or other instrument or agreement pertaining to indebtedness for borrowed money or to the repurchase of mortgage loans or securities.
(7)    Solvency. Each Seller Party is solvent and will not be rendered insolvent by any Transaction and, after giving effect to such Transaction, will not be left with an unreasonably small amount of capital with which to engage in its business. No Seller Party is contemplating the commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official in respect of such entity or any of its assets. The amount of consideration being received by Seller upon the sale of the Purchased Assets to Buyer constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for such Purchased Assets. The amount of consideration being received by Seller upon the transfer of the Contributed REO Properties to REO Subsidiary constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for such Contributed REO Properties. Seller is not transferring any Purchased Assets to Buyer or any Contributed REO Property to REO Subsidiary or any Transaction Mortgage Loans to Transaction Subsidiary with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors. Each transfer of Transaction Mortgage Loans to Transaction Subsidiary constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for such Transaction Mortgage Loans.
(8)    No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by each Seller Party of each Program Agreement do not conflict with any term or provision of the formation documents or by‑laws of such Seller Party or any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree applicable to such Seller Party of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over such Seller Party, which conflict would have a Material Adverse Effect and will not result in any violation of any such mortgage, instrument, agreement or obligation to which such Seller Party is a party.
(9)    True and Complete Disclosure. All information, reports, exhibits, schedules, financial statements or certificates of Seller Parties or any Affiliate thereof or any of their officers furnished or to be furnished to Buyer in connection with the initial or any ongoing due diligence of any Seller Party or any Affiliate or officer thereof, and the negotiation, preparation, or delivery of the Program Agreements, when taken as a whole, (i) are true and complete and do not omit to disclose any material facts necessary to make the statements herein or therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading and (ii) with respect to financial statements, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition and results of operations of Seller as of the dates and for the periods indicated. All financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (other than monthly financial statements solely with respect to footnotes, year‑end adjustments and cash flow statements). Except as disclosed in such financial statements or pursuant to Section 17.b hereof, Seller is not subject to any contingent liabilities or commitments that, individually or in the aggregate, have a material possibility of causing a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Seller.

(11)    Litigation. There is no action, proceeding or investigation pending with respect to which any Seller Party has received service of process or, to the best of such Seller Party’s knowledge threatened against it before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal (A) asserting the invalidity of any Program Agreement, (B) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by any Program Agreement or (C)  which is reasonably likely to be determined adversely and, if adversely determined, is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the validity of the Purchased Assets, Contributed REO Properties or Transaction Mortgage Loans or the performance by it of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of any Program Agreement.

(14)    Underwriting Guidelines. The Underwriting Guidelines provided to Buyer are the true and correct Underwriting Guidelines in all material respects of the Seller.
(15)    Taxes. Each Seller Party and its Subsidiaries have timely filed all material tax returns that are required to be filed by them and have paid all material taxes, except for any such taxes as are being appropriately contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to which adequate reserves have been provided.

Should Seller for any reason cease to possess all such applicable approvals, or should notification to the relevant Agency or to HUD or FHA be required, Seller shall so notify Buyer immediately in writing. Seller may, however, surrender or terminate its status as a Xxxxxx Mae lender/servicer, notwithstanding any term, condition or provisions of this Agreement to the contrary.
(25)    No Reliance.

16.    Remedies Upon Default
In the event that an Event of Default shall have occurred:
a.    Buyer may, at its option (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency of any Seller Party or any Affiliate), declare an Event of Default to have occurred hereunder and, upon the exercise or deemed exercise of such option, the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (except that, in the event that the Purchase Date for any Transaction has not yet occurred as of the date of such exercise or deemed exercise, such Transaction shall be deemed immediately canceled). Buyer shall (except upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency of a Seller Party or any Affiliate) give notice to Seller of the exercise of such option as promptly as practicable.
b.    If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Section, (i) Seller’s obligations in such Transactions to repurchase all Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets, at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date determined in accordance with subparagraph (a) of this Section, shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (ii) all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by Buyer and applied, in Buyer’s sole discretion, to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices for all outstanding Transactions and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder, and (iii) Seller shall immediately deliver to Buyer the Asset Files relating to any Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets subject to such Transactions then in a Seller Party’s possession or control.
c.    Buyer also shall have the right to obtain physical possession, and to commence an action to obtain physical possession, of all Records and files of each Seller Party relating to the Purchased Assets, Contributed REO Properties and Transaction Mortgage Loans and all documents relating to the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets (including, without limitation, any legal, credit or servicing files with respect to the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets) which are then or may thereafter come in to the possession of any Seller Party or any third party acting for such Seller Party. To obtain physical possession of any Purchased Assets or Repurchase Assets held by Custodian, Buyer shall present to Custodian a Trust Receipt. Without limiting the rights of Buyer hereto to pursue all other legal and equitable rights available to Buyer for any Seller Party’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, each of the Seller Parties acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law for any failure to perform obligations hereunder would be inadequate and Buyer shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies in the event of any such failure. The availability of these remedies shall not prohibit Buyer from pursuing any other remedies for such breach, including the recovery of monetary damages.
d.    Buyer shall have the right to direct all servicers then servicing any Purchased Assets, Contributed REO Properties and Transaction Mortgage Loans to remit all collections thereon to Buyer, and if any such payments are received by any Seller Party, such Seller Party shall not commingle the amounts received with other funds of such Seller Party and shall promptly pay them over to Buyer. Buyer shall also have the right to terminate any one or all of the servicers then servicing any Purchased Assets, Contributed REO Properties and Transaction Mortgage Loans with or without cause. In addition, Buyer shall have the right to immediately sell the Purchased Assets, Contributed REO Properties and Transaction Mortgage Loans and liquidate all Repurchase Assets. Such disposition of Purchased Assets, Contributed REO Properties, Transaction Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets may be, at Buyer’s option, on either a servicing-released or a servicing-retained basis. Buyer shall not be required to give any warranties as to the Purchased Assets, Contributed REO Properties, Transaction Mortgage Loans or Repurchase Assets with respect to any such disposition thereof. Buyer may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like relating to the Purchased Assets, Contributed REO Properties, Transaction Mortgage Loans or Repurchase Assets. The foregoing procedure for disposition of the Purchased Assets, Contributed REO Properties, Transaction Mortgage Loans or Repurchase Assets and liquidation of the Repurchase Assets shall not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale thereof. Each Seller Party agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for Buyer to dispose of the Purchased Assets, Contributed REO Properties, Transaction Mortgage Loans or the Repurchase Assets or any portion thereof by using internet sites that provide for the auction of assets similar to the Purchased Assets, Contributed REO Properties, Transaction Mortgage Loans or the Repurchase Assets, or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Buyer shall be entitled to place the Purchased Assets, Contributed REO Properties and Transaction Mortgage Loans in a pool for issuance of mortgage-backed securities at the then-prevailing price for such securities and to sell such securities for such prevailing price in the open market. Buyer shall also be entitled to sell any or all of such Purchased Assets, Contributed REO Properties and Repurchase Assets individually for the prevailing price. Buyer shall also be entitled, in its sole discretion to elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets, to give the Seller credit for such Purchased Assets and the Repurchase Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by the Seller hereunder.
e.    Upon the happening of one or more Events of Default, Buyer may apply any proceeds from the liquidation of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets to the Repurchase Prices hereunder and all other Obligations in the manner Buyer deems appropriate in its sole discretion.
f.    Each Seller Party shall be liable to Buyer for (i) the amount of all reasonable legal or other expenses (including, without limitation, all costs and expenses of Buyer in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other agreement evidencing a Transaction, whether in action, suit or litigation or bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally, further including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel (including the costs of internal counsel of Buyer) incurred in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, (ii) damages in an amount equal to the cost (including all fees, expenses and commissions) of entering into replacement transactions and entering into or terminating hedge transactions in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, and (iii) any other loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of a Transaction.
g.    Seller further recognizes that Buyer may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the REO Subsidiary Interests or Transaction Subsidiary Interests, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the 1934 Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not a view to the distribution or resale thereof. In view of the nature of the REO Subsidiary Interests and Transaction Subsidiary Interests, Seller agrees that liquidation of any REO Subsidiary Interests and Transaction Subsidiary Interests may be conducted in a private sale and at such price as Buyer may deem commercially reasonable. Buyer shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the REO Subsidiary Interests or Transaction Subsidiary Interests for the period of time necessary to permit the Seller to register the REO Subsidiary Interests or Transaction Subsidiary Interests for public sale under the 1934 Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if Seller would agree to do so.
h.    To the extent permitted by applicable law, Seller shall be liable to Buyer for interest on any amounts owing by Seller hereunder, from the date Seller becomes liable for such amounts hereunder until such amounts are (i) paid in full by Seller or (ii) satisfied in full by the exercise of Buyer’s rights hereunder. Interest on any sum payable by Seller under this Section 16.h shall accrue at a rate equal to the Post‑Default Rate.
i.    Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights hereunder, any rights otherwise available to it under any other agreement or applicable law.
j.    Buyer may exercise one or more of the remedies available to Buyer immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and, except to the extent provided in subsections (a) and (d) of this Section, at any time thereafter without notice to Seller Parties. All rights and remedies arising under this Agreement as amended from time to time hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have.
k.    Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and each Seller Party hereby expressly waives any defenses such Seller Party might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Each Seller Party also waives any defense (other than a defense of payment or performance) such Seller Party might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Repurchase Assets, or from any other election of remedies. Each Seller Party recognizes 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.
l.    Buyer shall have the right to perform reasonable due diligence with respect to any Seller Party and the Purchased Assets and the Repurchase Assets, which review shall be at the expense of Seller.
17.    Reports

21.    Entire Agreement; Severability
This Agreement shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions. Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.
22.    Non assignability
The Program Agreements are not assignable by any Seller Party. Buyer may from time to time assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Program Agreements; provided, however that Buyer shall maintain as agent of Seller Parties, for review by Seller Parties upon written request, a register of assignees and a copy of an executed assignment and acceptance by Buyer and assignee (“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned and Seller shall only be required to deal directly with the Buyer following such assignment. Buyer may distribute to any prospective assignee any document or other information delivered to Buyer by Seller Parties.
23.    Set‑off
In addition to any rights and remedies of the Buyer hereunder and by law, the Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice to the Seller Parties, any such notice being expressly waived by the Seller Parties to the extent permitted by applicable law to set-off and appropriate and apply against any Obligation from any Seller Party or any Affiliate thereof to Buyer or any of its Affiliates any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other obligation (including to return excess margin), 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 the Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of any Seller Party or any Affiliate thereof. The Buyer agrees promptly to notify the Seller Parties after any such set off and application made by the Buyer; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application.
24.    Binding Effect; Governing Law; Jurisdiction
a.    This Agreement shall be binding and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Each Seller Party acknowledges that the obligations of Buyer hereunder or otherwise are not the subject of any guaranty by, or recourse to, any direct or indirect parent or other Affiliate of Buyer. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.
b.    EACH OF SELLER PARTIES AND BUYER HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY. EACH OF SELLER PARTIES AND BUYER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM AGREEMENTS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING. EACH OF SELLER PARTIES AND BUYER HEREBY SUBMITS TO, AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY HAVE TO, EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN XXX XXXXXX XX XXX XXXXX XX XXX XXXX AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM AGREEMENTS.
25.    No Waivers, Etc.
No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either party shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto. Without limitation on any of the foregoing, the failure to give a notice pursuant to Section 0, 16.a or otherwise, will not constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later date.
26.    Intent
a.    The parties recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, and a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(38A)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code, that all payments hereunder are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments” as defined in Title 11 of the United States Code, and that the pledge of the Repurchase Assets constitutes “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” the Agreement and Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code. Seller Parties and Buyer further recognize and intend that this Agreement is an agreement to provide financial accommodations and is not subject to assumption pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365(a).
b.    Buyer’s right to liquidate the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or otherwise exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 16 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate, accelerate or terminate such Transaction as described in Bankruptcy Code Sections 555, 559 and 561; any payments or transfers of property made with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction to satisfy a Margin Deficit shall be considered a “margin payment” as such term is defined in Bankruptcy Code Section 741(5).
c.    Reserved.
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 “repurchase agreement” and a “securities contract,” within the meaning of Section 101(47), Section 555, Section 559 and Section 741 under the Bankruptcy Code.
f.    Each party agrees that this Agreement is intended to create mutuality of obligations among the parties, and as such, the Agreement constitutes a contract which (i) is between all of the parties and (ii) places each party in the same right and capacity.
27.    Disclosure Relating to Certain Federal Protections
The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:
a.    in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15 of the 1934 Act, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the SIPA do not protect the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder;
b.    in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a government securities broker or a government securities dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide protection to the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; and
c.    in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial institution, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable.
28.    Power of Attorney
Each Seller Party hereby authorizes Buyer to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Repurchase Assets without such Seller Party’s signature thereon as Buyer, at its option, may deem appropriate. Each Seller Party hereby respectively appoints Buyer as such Seller Party’s agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any such financing statement or statements in such Seller Party’s name and, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, to perform all other acts which Buyer deems appropriate to perfect and continue its ownership interest in and/or the security interest granted hereby, if applicable, and to protect, preserve and realize upon the Repurchase Assets, including, but not limited to, the right to endorse notes, complete blanks in documents, transfer servicing, and sign assignments on behalf of such Seller Party as its agent and attorney-in-fact. This agency and power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable without Buyer’s consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the power of attorney hereby granted may be exercised only during the occurrence and continuance of any Default hereunder. Seller shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section 28. In addition the foregoing, each Seller Party agrees to execute a Power of Attorney, in the form of Exhibit D hereto, to be delivered on the date hereof.
29.    Buyer May Act Through Affiliates and Transaction Subsidiary May Act Through Seller
Buyer may, from time to time, designate one or more Affiliates for the purpose of performing any action hereunder. Pursuant to the Transaction Subsidiary Agreement, Transaction Subsidiary has appointed Seller as its agent with respect to the execution, delivery and/or performance of any Program Agreement, including, without limitation, the Custodial Agreement, any Servicing Agreement and any Servicer Notice.
30.    Indemnification; Obligations
a.    Seller agrees to hold Buyer and each of its respective Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and indemnify each Indemnified Party (and will reimburse each Indemnified Party as the same is incurred) against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party by any third party relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Transaction Request, any Program Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby resulting from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Seller also agrees to reimburse each Indemnified Party for all reasonable expenses in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy provided for herein, any Transaction Request and any Program Agreement, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel. Seller’s agreements in this Section 30 shall survive the payment in full of the Repurchase Price and the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Seller hereby acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are recourse obligations of Seller and are not limited to recoveries each Indemnified Party may have with respect to the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets. Each of Seller and Buyer also agrees not to assert any claim against the other or any of such party’s, or any of such party’s respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the facility established hereunder, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated 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.
b.    Without limitation to the provisions of Section 4, if any payment of the Repurchase Price of any Transaction or Purchase Price Increase is made by Seller other than on the then scheduled Repurchase Date thereto as a result of an acceleration of the Repurchase Date pursuant to Section 16 or for any other reason, Seller shall, upon demand by Buyer, pay to Buyer an amount sufficient to compensate Buyer for any losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as of a result of such payment.
c.    Without limiting the provisions of Section 30.a hereof, if Seller fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under this Agreement, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of Seller by Buyer, in its sole discretion.
31.    Counterparts
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement in a Portable Document Format (PDF) or by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement.
32.    Confidentiality
a.    This Agreement and its terms, provisions, supplements and amendments, and notices hereunder, are proprietary to Buyer and shall be held by each Seller Party in strict confidence and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the written consent of Buyer except for (i) disclosure to such Seller Party’s direct and indirect Affiliates and Subsidiaries, attorneys or accountants, but only to the extent such disclosure is necessary and such parties agree to hold all information in strict confidence, or (ii) disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Program Agreement, 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 terms (including, without limitation, the Pricing Rate, Commitment Fee, 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 the Buyer; provided further that Seller shall redact such pricing terms mutually agreed to between Buyer and Seller and Seller shall file a request with the SEC and each applicable state securities office to keep such information confidential. In the event that the SEC or applicable state securities office rejects such confidentiality request with respect to this information, Seller may file this Agreement, including such pricing terms, with the SEC and any applicable state securities office, as applicable.
b.    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of the Seller Parties and Buyer 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 Purchased Assets and the Repurchase Assets and/or any applicable terms of this Agreement, including information pertaining to any Purchased Asset that is not purchased hereunder or customer or loan information that another lender may share with the Buyer pursuant to an intercreditor agreement or other agreement (the “Confidential Information”). Each of Seller Party and Buyer understands that the Confidential Information may contain “nonpublic personal information”, as that term is defined in Section 509(4) of the Gramm‑Xxxxx‑Xxxxxx Act (the “GLB Act”), and each of Seller Party and Buyer 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 or any Affiliate of Buyer which the 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 the Seller. Seller shall notify Buyer immediately following discovery of any breach or compromise of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of nonpublic personal information of the customers and consumers of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer provided directly to such Seller Party by Buyer or such Affiliate. Each Seller Party 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.
33.    Recording of Communications
Buyer and Seller Parties shall have the right (but not the obligation) from time to time to make or cause to be made tape recordings of communications between its employees and those of the other party with respect to Transactions. Buyer and Seller Parties consent to the admissibility of such tape recordings in any court, arbitration, or other proceedings. The parties agree that a duly authenticated transcript of such a tape recording shall be deemed to be a writing conclusively evidencing the parties’ agreement.
34.    Periodic Due Diligence Review
Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to each Seller Party and the Purchased Assets, Contributed REO Properties and Transaction Mortgage Loans, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, for the purpose of performing quality control review of the Purchased Assets, Contributed REO Properties and Transaction Mortgage Loans or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than three (3) Business Days’) prior notice unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case no notice is required, to Seller, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Asset Files and any and all documents, data, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Repurchase Assets (including, without limitation, quality control review) in the possession or under the control of Seller Parties and/or the Custodian. Seller also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Asset Files and the Repurchase Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer may purchase Purchased Assets and the Contributed REO Properties or enter into Transactions with respect to Transaction Mortgage Loans 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 Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets purchased in a Transaction, including, without limitation, ordering broker’s price opinions, new credit reports and new appraisals on the related Mortgaged Properties and otherwise re‑generating the information used to originate such Transaction Mortgage Loan. Buyer may underwrite such Purchased Assets, Contributed REO Properties and Transaction Mortgage Loans itself or engage a mutually agreed upon third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Seller agrees 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, Contributed REO Properties and Transaction Mortgage Loans in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. Seller further agrees that Seller shall pay all out‑of‑pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 34; provided that Buyer shall notify Seller of any due diligence expenses in excess of $25,000 per annum.
35.    Authorizations
Any of the persons whose signatures and titles appear on Schedule 2 are authorized, acting singly, to act for Seller Parties or Buyer to the extent set forth therein, as the case may be, under this Agreement. The Seller Parties may amend Schedule 2 from time to time by delivering a revised Schedule 2 to Buyer and expressly stating that such revised Schedule 2 shall replace the existing Schedule 2.
36.    Acknowledgement Of Anti‑Predatory Lending Policies
Buyer has in place internal policies and procedures that expressly prohibit its purchase of any High Cost Mortgage Loan.
37.    Documents Mutually Drafted
The Seller Parties and the Buyer agree that this Agreement and each other Program Agreement prepared in connection with the Transactions set forth herein have been mutually drafted and negotiated by each party, and consequently such documents shall not be construed against either party as the drafter thereof.
38.    General Interpretive Principles

d.    Buyer may, upon notice to the Seller Parties, terminate the Servicer as Nominee and appoint itself or another person as the successor nominee following an Event of Default that is continuing.
41.    Termination of Agreement
This Agreement shall remain in effect until the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may terminate this Agreement at any time (i) upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency in respect of Buyer, (ii) upon the failure of Buyer to return any Transaction Mortgage Loan or REO Property to Seller after the payment by Seller to the Buyer of the related Repurchase Price within five (5) Business Days, or (iii) upon the occurrence of an event of default on the part of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC under any Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreement between Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Seller, in each case, without the payment of any penalties, breakage costs or termination fees.

42.    Joint and Several
Seller Parties and Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that each Seller Party is jointly and severally liable to Buyer for the full, complete and punctual performance and satisfaction of all obligations of any Seller Party under this Agreement.

Each Seller Party waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon such Seller Party with respect to the Obligations. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Seller Party, Buyer may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies hereunder against any Seller Party or any other Person or against any collateral security for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by Buyer to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from such Seller Party or any such other Person to realize upon any such collateral security or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of such Seller Party or any such other Person or any such collateral security, or right of offset, shall not relieve such Seller Party of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of Buyer against such Seller Party.

SCHEDULE 1-A

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO TRANSACTION MORTGAGE LOANS
(a)Reserved.
(b)    No Outstanding Charges. All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established 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. The Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Transaction Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the proceeds of the Transaction Mortgage Loan, whichever is earlier.
(c)    Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, from the date of origination; except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of Buyer, and which original or (other than with respect to the Mortgage Note) certified copy has been delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Custodial Asset Schedule. 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 on the Custodial Asset Schedule. No Mortgagor in respect of the Transaction 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 Asset File delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Custodial Asset Schedule.
(d)    No Defenses. The Transaction Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, 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 and no such right of rescission, set‑off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor in respect of the Transaction Mortgage Loan was a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Transaction Mortgage Loan was originated.
(e)    Hazard Insurance. The Mortgaged Property is insured by a fire and extended perils insurance policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and to the extent required by Seller as of the date of origination consistent with the Underwriting Guidelines, against earthquake and other risks insured against by Persons operating like properties in the locality of the Mortgaged Property, in an amount not less than the greatest of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Transaction Mortgage Loan, or (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co‑insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date of origination in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines. If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified by any federal Governmental Authority as having special flood hazards, and flood insurance is available, a flood insurance policy meeting the current guidelines of the Federal Emergency Management Agency is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Transaction Mortgage Loan (2) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property, and (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. All such insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Seller, its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, subsequent owners of the Transaction Mortgage Loan), as mortgagee, and may not be reduced, terminated or canceled without thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice to the mortgagee. No such notice has been received by any Seller Party. All premiums on such insurance policy have been paid. The related Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer and is in full force and effect. Seller Party has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by any Seller Party.

There is no pending action or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue; there is no violation of any applicable environmental law (including, without limitation, asbestos), rule or regulation with respect to the Mortgaged Property; and nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule or regulation constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said property.
(g)    Compliance with Applicable Laws.

(h)    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 release, cancellation, subordination or rescission.

(i)    Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is located in an Acceptable State as identified in the Custodial Asset Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached or attached single family residence erected thereon, or a two‑ to four‑family dwelling, or an individual unit in a planned unit development or a de minimis planned unit development; provided, however, that any condominium unit or planned unit development shall conform with the applicable Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac requirements regarding such dwellings or shall conform to underwriting guidelines acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion and that no residence or dwelling is a mobile home. No portion of the Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes; provided, that, the Mortgaged Property may be a mixed use property if such Mortgaged Property conforms to underwriting guidelines acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion.
(j)    Valid First Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected with respect to each first lien Transaction Mortgage Loan, first priority lien and first priority security interest on the real property included in the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to:
a.    the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable;
b.    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 generally and specifically referred to in Buyer’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Transaction Mortgage Loan and (a) referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Transaction Mortgage Loan or (b) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal;

Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Transaction Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein and the applicable Seller Party has full right to pledge and assign the same to Buyer. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Transaction 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.
(k)    Validity of Mortgage Documents.

Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Asset File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, except as disclosed to Buyer in writing, all tax identifications and property descriptions are legally sufficient; and tax segregation, where required, has been completed.
(l)    Full Disbursement of Proceeds. Except as allowable under the FHA HECM program, each Transaction Mortgage Loan has no future disbursement obligation, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on‑site or off‑site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Transaction 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. All broker fees have been properly assessed to the Mortgagor and no claims will arise as to broker fees that are double charged and for which the Mortgagor would be entitled to reimbursement.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO REO PROPERTY
    
The Seller makes the following representations and warranties to the Buyer, with respect to the REO Property owned or deemed owned by the REO Subsidiary, that as of the Conversion Date for the contribution of REO Property by REO Subsidiary and as of the date of this Agreement and any Transaction hereunder relating to the REO Subsidiary Interests is outstanding and on each day while the Program Agreements and any Transaction hereunder is in full force and effect.
(a)Asset File. (i) The related Deed in the name of the REO Subsidiary shall have been submitted for recording within fifteen (15) Business Days of the related Mortgage Loan having been converted to REO Property, (ii) a copy of the recorded Deed shall be delivered to the applicable Custodian within one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days of such REO Property being acquired by the REO Subsidiary, and (iii) all other documents required to be delivered as part of the Asset File shall be delivered to the applicable Custodian within fifteen (15) Business Days of such REO Property being acquired by the REO Subsidiary or held by an attorney in connection with a foreclosure pursuant to a Bailee Letter.
(b)Ownership. The REO Subsidiary is the sole owner and holder of the REO Property and the Servicing Rights related thereto. The REO Subsidiary has not assigned or pledged the REO Property and the related Servicing Rights except as contemplated in the Agreement, and, except as otherwise disclosed to Buyer in writing, the REO Property is free and clear of any lien or encumbrance other than (A) liens for real estate taxes not yet due and payable, (B) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record as of the date of recording of the related security instrument, such exceptions appearing of record being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally, and (C) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere with the use, enjoyment or marketability of the REO Property.
(c)Title. Each Deed is genuine, constitutes the legal, valid and binding conveyance of the REO Property in fee simple to the REO Subsidiary or its designee.
(d)REO Property as Described. The information set forth in the related Asset Schedule and all other information or data furnished by, or on behalf of, Seller to Buyer is true and correct in all material respects as of the date or dates on which such information is furnished.
(e)Taxes and Assessments. Except as otherwise disclosed to Buyer in writing, there are no property taxes, governmental charges, levies or governmental assessments with respect to any REO Property that are delinquent by more than ninety (90) days; provided, however, that a disclosure of outstanding charges provided to Buyer may include the total amount without specifying the related categories of outstanding charges.
(f)No Litigation. Other than any customary claim or counterclaim arising out of any eviction, foreclosure or collection proceeding relating to any REO Property or as otherwise disclosed in writing to Buyer, there is no litigation, proceeding or governmental investigation pending, or any order, injunction or decree outstanding, existing or relating to Seller, REO Subsidiary or any of their Subsidiaries with respect to the REO Property that would materially and adversely affect the value of the REO Property.
(g)Existing Insurance. All improvements upon each REO Property are insured by a borrower or blanket hazard insurance policy in an amount at least equal to the lesser of (1) 100% of the maximum insurable value of such improvements; (2) the replacement value of such improvements; and (3) the amount of the BPO valuation. Each such insurance policy contains a standard mortgagee clause naming REO Subsidiary or Servicer, its successors and assigns as loss payee or named insured, as applicable. If such REO Property at the time of origination of the related mortgage loan was in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with respect to such REO Property unless such REO Property is no longer so identified.
(h)No Mechanics’ Liens. Except as otherwise disclosed to Buyer in writing, there are no mechanics’ 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 REO Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the Mortgage.
(i)No Damage. Except as otherwise disclosed to Buyer in writing, the REO Property is undamaged by water, fire, earthquake, earth movement other than earthquake, windstorm, flood, tornado, defective construction materials or work, or similar casualty which would cause such REO Property to become uninhabitable.
(j)No Condemnation. Except as otherwise disclosed to Buyer in writing, there is no proceeding pending, or to Seller’s knowledge, threatened, for the total or partial condemnation of the REO Property.
(k)No Hazardous Materials. To Seller’s knowledge, there is no condition affecting any REO Property (x) relating to lead paint, radon, asbestos or other hazardous materials, (y) requiring remediation of any condition or (z) relating to a claim which could impose liability upon, diminish rights of or otherwise adversely affect Buyer.
(l)Location and Type of REO Property. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Buyer, each REO Property is located in the U.S. or a territory of the U.S. and consists of a one- to four-unit residential property, which may include, but is not limited to, a single-family dwelling, townhouse, condominium unit, or unit in a planned unit development.
(m)No Fraudulent Acts. No fraudulent acts were committed by Seller or REO Subsidiary in connection with the acquisition of such REO Property.
(n)Acquisition of REO Property. With respect to each such REO Property, (i) such REO Property is a Mortgaged Property acquired by REO Subsidiary through foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, which was, prior to such foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, subject to the lien of a Mortgage Loan, and (ii) with respect to each such REO Property, upon the consummation of the related Transaction, the applicable Custodian shall have received the related Asset File and such Asset File shall not have been released from the possession of the applicable Custodian for longer than the time periods permitted under the related Custodial Agreement.
(o)No Occupants. Except as otherwise disclosed in writing to Buyer, no tenant or other party has any right to occupy or is currently occupying any REO Property. Other than with respect to a REO Property as to which the redemption period has not yet expired or the eviction process has not yet been completed, no holdover borrower has any right to occupy or is currently occupying any REO Property.

From and after the date that is one (1) Business Day following the conversion of a Mortgage Loan to a REO Property, the REO Property is insured by either an American Land Title Association (“ALTA”) title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy of title insurance acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions in the area where the related REO Property is located, issued by a title insurer acceptable to prudent mortgage lenders. With respect to each REO Property, REO Subsidiary is the sole insured of such policy, and such policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of Seller and its successors. To the Seller's knowledge, no claims have been made under such policy and no prior holder of the REO Property, including REO Subsidiary, has done by act or omission, anything that would impair the coverage of such policy.
(q)FHA/VA Insurance. Each REO Property (i) is covered by FHA Mortgage Insurance and there exists no impairment to full recovery without indemnity to HUD or the FHA under the FHA Mortgage Insurance, or (ii) is guaranteed, or eligible to be guaranteed by a VA Loan Guaranty Agreement, under the VA Regulations and there exists no impairment to full recovery without indemnity to the VA under the VA Loan Guaranty Agreement.

Servicer has adequate financial standing, servicing facilities, procedures and experienced personnel necessary for the sound servicing of mortgage loans and REO Property of the same types as may from time to time constitute Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.
(b)    Should Servicer for any reason, cease to possess all such Servicer Approvals, or should notification to the Agency or, to HUD, FHA or VA be required with respect to any non-compliance or breach, Servicer shall so notify Seller Parties and Buyer immediately in writing. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Servicer shall take, all necessary action to maintain all of its Servicer Approvals at all times during the term of the Repurchase Agreement and each outstanding Transaction. Servicer shall service all Mortgage Loans and REO Properties in accordance with the FHA Regulations or VA Regulations, as applicable.
Section 4.    Covenants of Servicer. On and as of the date of this Servicer Notice and on each day until this Servicer Notice is no longer in force, Servicer covenants to permit representatives of Buyer, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior notice (unless a Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred and is continuing, in which case, one (1) Business Day’s prior notice shall be required), during normal business hours, to examine, copy and make extracts from its books and records, to inspect any of its Properties, and to discuss its business and affairs with its officers, all to the extent requested by Buyer as relating to the Mortgage Loans and underlying REO Property.
Section 5.    Servicer Termination Events.

(i)
An Event of Default;
(ii)
This Servicer Notice is deemed unenforceable;
(iii)
Servicer materially breaches or fails to comply with (A) the Servicing Agreement and such breach or failure continues uncured or unremedied for a period of thirty (30) calendar days or Servicer fails to diligently pursue a cure or remedy (without regard to any other cure periods) or (B) this Servicer Notice (relating to the deposit or transfer of funds) and such breach or failure continues uncured or unremedied for a period of two (2) Business Days (without regard to any other cure periods), in each case, after a Responsible Officer of a Seller Party or Servicer first learns of it;
(iv)
Servicer is unable to comply with the eligibility requirements, or ceases to be an approved servicer, of, in each case, GNMA, HUD or VA;
(v)
Servicer fails to make any required servicing advance, to the extent that such failure would be reasonably likely to impair FHA Mortgage Insurance coverage or VA Loan Guaranty Agreement coverage, with respect to the principal portion of any Mortgage Loan or would be reasonably likely to give rise to a liability to HUD, FHA or VA, as determined by Buyer in its good faith discretion;
(vi)
Servicer fails to make a required deposit to the Inbound Account (i) which is not cured within one (1) Business Day of Seller Party’s knowledge of such failure, or (ii) to the extent such failure or failures occur on multiple occasions (regardless of any subsequent cure);

Servicer provides a notice of its intent to resign as Servicer of the Mortgage Loans and REO Property and a new Servicer reasonably acceptable to Buyer is not promptly appointed;
(viii)
Servicer is subject to FHA, HUD or VA fees or penalties which have not been paid or is subject to a set-off by any of FHA, HUD or VA which (A) is reasonably likely to result in a Servicer Material Adverse Effect or (B) failure or failures occur on a persistent and material basis after notice or knowledge thereof (regardless of any subsequent cure); or
(ix)
There shall occur a Servicer Material Adverse Effect, in the determination of Buyer.
(b)     Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event at the Request of Buyer, Servicer shall transfer the servicing to a successor servicer in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement.

(a)    Upon an Event of Default, Buyer may send Servicer notice thereof (a “Notice of Default”) and Buyer shall identify in the Notice of Default the Mortgage Loans and REO Property subject to an Event of Default.
(b)    Servicer may conclusively rely on any information or Notice of Default delivered by Buyer, and Seller Parties shall indemnify and hold Servicer harmless for any and all claims asserted against it, and for any liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) imposed upon it for any actions taken by Servicer in connection with the delivery of such information or Notice of Default.
(c)    Following receipt of a Notice of Default from Buyer, Servicer shall follow the instructions of Buyer exclusively with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties, and shall deliver to Buyer any information with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties reasonably requested by Buyer.
(d)    Following receipt of a Notice of Default from Buyer, Seller and Servicer shall cooperate in changing the mortgagee of record to a successor appointed by Buyer.
Section 7.    Indemnification. Without limiting the rights of Seller Parties and Buyer set forth in this Servicer Notice, Servicer shall indemnify Seller Parties and Buyer for any and all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) suffered for any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant in connection with or relating to or arising out of the Servicing Agreement and this Servicer Notice. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Servicer hereunder, the covenants and obligations of Servicer contained in this Section 7 shall survive the termination of this Servicer Notice.

All rights and remedies of Buyer provided for herein are cumulative and in addition to any and all other rights and remedies provided by law, the Program Agreements and the other instruments and agreements contemplated hereby and thereby, and are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by Buyer to exercise any of its rights under any other related document. Buyer may exercise at any time after the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event one or more remedies, as they so desire, and may thereafter at any time and from time to time exercise any other remedy or remedies.
Section 9.    Counterparts. This Servicer Notice may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Servicer Notice by signing any such counterpart.
