Seller’s tax identification number is 00-0000000. Seller’s fiscal year is the calendar year. No Seller Party nor Servicer has changed its name within the past twelve (12) months.
(b) Financial Condition. Each Seller Party and Servicer has heretofore furnished to Buyer a copy of its audited consolidated balance sheets and the audited consolidated balance sheets of its consolidated Subsidiaries, each as at December 31, 2014 with the opinion thereon of Deloitte & Touche LLP, a copy of which has been provided to Buyer. Each Seller Party and Servicer has also heretofore furnished to Buyer the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and of cash flows for such Seller Party or Servicer and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the one year period ending December 31, 2014. All such financial statements are complete and correct in all material respects and fairly present the consolidated financial condition of such Seller Party or Servicer and its Subsidiaries and the consolidated results of their operations for the fiscal year ended on said date, all in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. Since December 31, 2014, there has been no development or event nor any prospective development or event which has had or should reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Seller Party nor Servicer has any material contingent liability or liability for taxes or any long term lease or unusual forward or long term commitment, which is not reflected in the foregoing statements or notes. Since the date of the financial statements and other information delivered to Buyer prior to the date of this Agreement, no Seller Party nor Servicer has sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of any material part of its property or assets (except pursuant to the Program Documents) or acquired any property or assets (including Equity Interests of any other Person) that are material in relation to the financial condition of such Seller Party or Servicer.
(c) Litigation. There are no actions, suits, arbitrations, investigations or proceedings pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against such Seller Party or Servicer or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or affecting any of the property thereof before any Governmental Authority, (i) as to which individually or in the aggregate there is a reasonable likelihood of an adverse decision which would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) which questions the validity or enforceability of any of the Program Documents or any action to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, or (iii) which seeks to prevent the consummation of any Transaction.
(d) No Breach. Neither (a) the execution and delivery of the Program Documents, nor (b) the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated in compliance with the terms and provisions thereof will conflict with or result in a breach of the charter or by-laws of such Seller Party or Servicer, or any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority, or other material agreement or instrument to which such Seller Party or Servicer is a party or by which any Seller Party or Servicer or any Seller Party’s or Servicer’s property is bound or to which any of them or their property is subject, or constitute a default under any such material agreement or instrument, or (except for the Liens created pursuant to this Agreement) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any property of any Seller Party or Servicer, pursuant to the terms of any such agreement or instrument.
(e) Action. Each Seller Party and Servicer has all necessary corporate or other power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Program Documents to which it is a party; the execution, delivery and performance by such Seller Party or Servicer of each of the Program Documents to which it is a party has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action on its part; and each Program Document has been duly and validly executed and delivered by each Seller Party and Servicer and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Seller Party or Servicer, enforceable against such Seller Party or Servicer in accordance with its terms.
(f) Approvals. No authorizations, approvals or consents of, and no filings or registrations with, any Governmental Authority, or any other Person, are necessary for the execution, delivery or performance by any Seller Party or Servicer of the Program Documents to which it is a party or for the legality, validity or enforceability thereof, except for filings and recordings in respect of the Program Documents and the Liens created pursuant to this Agreement.
(g) Taxes. Each Seller Party and Servicer has filed all Federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns that are required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by any of them, except for any such taxes, if any, that are being appropriately contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to which adequate reserves have been provided. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of such Seller Party or Servicer and its Subsidiaries in respect of taxes and other governmental charges are, in the opinion of such Seller Party or Servicer, adequate. Any taxes, fees and other governmental charges payable by such Seller Party or Servicer in connection with a Transaction and the execution and delivery of the Program Documents have been paid.
(h) Investment Company Act. No Seller Party nor Servicer is an “investment company” or a company controlled by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Each Seller Party and Servicer (i) has been structured so as not to constitute, and is not, a “covered fund” for purposes of Section 619 of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Xxxxxxx Rule”), and (ii) is relying upon an exception or exemption from the registration requirements of the Investment Company Act other than those set forth in Sections 3(c)(1) and 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act.
(i) No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the other Program Documents, the sales hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of any Seller Party or Servicer and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than the Liens created hereunder) on any of its or their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation.
(j) Compliance with Law. No practice, procedure or policy employed or proposed to be employed by a Seller Party or Servicer in the conduct of its business violates any law, regulation, judgment, agreement, regulatory consent, order or decree applicable to it which, if enforced, would result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Seller Party or Servicer. The execution, delivery and performance of the Program Documents does not require compliance by any Seller Party or Servicer with any “bulk sales” or similar laws.
(k) No Default. No Seller Party nor Servicer is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect which should reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
(o) True and Complete Disclosure. The information, reports, financial statements, exhibits and schedules furnished in writing by or on behalf of each Seller Party or Servicer to Buyer in connection with the negotiation, preparation or delivery of this Agreement and the other Program Documents or included herein or therein or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, when taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Each Plan which is not a Multiemployer Plan, and, to the knowledge of each Seller Party or Servicer, each Multiemployer Plan, is in compliance in all material respects with, and has been administered in all material respects in compliance with, the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other Federal or State law. No event or condition has occurred and is continuing as to which any Seller Party or Servicer would be under an obligation to furnish a report to Buyer under Section 13(a)(xi) hereof. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such Plans. Each Seller Party and Servicer and its Subsidiaries do not provide any material medical or health benefits to former employees other than as required by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, as amended, or similar state or local law at no cost to the employer (collectively, “COBRA”).

(y) Solvency; Fraudulent Conveyance. As of the date hereof and immediately after giving effect to each Transaction, each Seller Party and Servicer is and will be solvent, is able and will be able to pay and is paying its debts as they mature and does not and will not have an unreasonably small amount of capital to engage in the business in which it is engaged and proposes to engage. No Seller Party nor Servicer intends to incur, or believes that it has incurred,
debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. No Seller Party nor Servicer 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 Seller Party or Servicer or any of its assets.

(ee) Anti-Money Laundering. Each Seller Party and Servicer has complied with all applicable Anti-Money Laundering Laws, has conducted the requisite due diligence in connection with the acquisition of each Purchased Loan for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws, and will maintain, sufficient information to identify the applicable Mortgagor for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws; no Purchased Loan is subject to nullification pursuant to Executive Order 13224 (the “Executive Order”) or the regulations promulgated by the OFAC (the “OFAC Regulations”) or in violation of the Executive Order or the OFAC Regulations, and no Mortgagor is subject to the provisions of such Executive Order or the OFAC Regulations nor listed as a “blocked person” for purposes of the OFAC Regulations.
