NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the benefits to the Assignor the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Assignor hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Lender and hereby covenants and agrees with the Lender as follows:
- Security Interests. As security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due of all of the Obligations, the Assignor does hereby sell, pledge, assign, hypothecate, transfer and grant unto the Lender, a continuing security interest of first priority in all of the right, title and interest of the Assignor in, to and under all of the following, whether now existing or hereafter from time to time acquired (all of the following, collectively, the "Collateral"):

- all rights of the Assignor to service any Mortgage Loan described in clause (i) above and to receive any payment or compensation for the servicing of any such Mortgage Loan, and all rights to receive from any mortgagor on whose behalf the Assignor has advanced funds, and whose Mortgage Loan is described in clause (i) above or whose Mortgage Loan secures a Mortgage- backed Security described in clause (ii) above, payment or reimbursement of the amount so advanced;
- all Collateral Documents and all other documents, instruments, certificates, forms, statements, surveys, appraisals, correspondence, files, tapes, discs, cards, computer programs, accounting records and other information and data relating to any or all of the foregoing;
- all Interest Rate Hedging Contracts with respect to the Mortgage Loans described in clause (i) above; and
- any Proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.
- Power of Attorney. The Assignor hereby constitutes and appoints the Lender its true and lawful attorney, irrevocably, with full power after the occurrence of a Default (in the name of such Assignor or otherwise) to act, require, demand, receive, compound and give acquittance for any and all monies and claims for monies due or to become due to the Assignor under or arising out of the Collateral, to execute and deliver any consents, approvals, powers of attorney, assignments of mortgages, purchase contracts or any other documents related to the Collateral, to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Lender may deem to be necessary or advisable in the premises, which appointment as attorney is coupled with an interest.
- Payments on the Collateral. If, while this Security Agreement is in effect, the Assignor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any principal or interest or any other payment in respect of the Collateral, the Assignor agrees to accept the same as the Lender's agent and to hold the same in trust on behalf of the Lender, and, if required to do so pursuant to the terms of the Warehouse Credit Agreement, to deliver the same forthwith to the Lender. All sums of money so paid in respect of the Collateral which are received by the Assignor and paid to the Lender shall be credited against the Obligations. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any amounts received by the Lender in respect of the stated interest on any Collateral in excess of the amounts then owing to the Lender pursuant to the Warehouse Credit Agreement and the Note shall, upon request of the Assignor, be remitted to the Assignor subject to the deduction therefrom by the Lender of such amount as the Lender shall reasonably designate as a reserve for application to any fees or accrued interest payable by the Assignor with respect to the calendar month in which such amounts are received by the Lender.
- Release of Collateral; Substitution.
- So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, upon the Assignor's request therefor and a prepayment by the Assignor of Advances in an amount sufficient to cause the amount of Advances outstanding to be less than or equal to the Borrowing Base (calculated without reference to any Collateral which the Assignor requests be released from the Lien granted pursuant hereto) and a deposit by the Assignor of such amount as the Lender shall reasonably designate as a reserve for application to any fees or accrued interest payable under the Warehouse Credit Agreement with respect to the calendar month in which such prepayment occurs, the Lender shall, within one Business Day after the later of the receipt of such request or such prepayment and deposit, release from the Lien granted pursuant hereto and deliver to the Assignor (i) the Collateral corresponding to such Mortgage Loan(s) or Mortgage-backed Security(ies) and (ii) the Collateral Documents pertaining thereto.
- So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in lieu of any required prepayment of principal pursuant to Section 4.02 of the Warehouse Credit Agreement, the Assignor may, subject to the terms and conditions of the Warehouse Credit Agreement and the consent of the Lender, substitute and pledge additional Eligible Mortgage Loans and/or Eligible Nonconforming Mortgage Loans (together with all required Collateral Documents with respect thereto) having a Collateral Value in an amount such that immediately after giving effect to such substitution or addition, such prepayment is no longer required.
- In the event that the Lender shall be required to release any Collateral pursuant to the provisions of Sections 4.03 or 4.04 of the Warehouse Credit Agreement, the Lender shall release any such Collateral consisting of Mortgage Loans under the following circumstances:
- To an Investor (or its custodian) under a bailee agreement in the form of either Schedule I or Schedule II attached hereto (a "Bailee Agreement"), as and to the extent required hereunder, for its examination and purchase, which Bailee Agreement shall provide instructions to such Investor (or its custodian) to remit payment directly to the Lender (but in no event shall such amounts be paid to the Lender later than the date of settlement) or to return the Collateral to the Lender within 21 days, in accordance with the Lender's instructions, and subject to the following:
- such delivery may be made upon the receipt by the Lender of a written request from the Assignor at least one Business Day before such delivery is to be made, provided that such delivery is in compliance with the terms of the applicable Purchase Commitment;
- before the Lender shall deliver any Collateral to GNMA, FHLMC, FNMA or any other Investor or to any custodian for such Investor, the Assignor shall have delivered to the Lender copies of all necessary or appropriate forms, schedules and/or other documents requested by the Lender to effect delivery and payment thereof in accordance with instructions to be provided by Lender; and
- the forms described in the preceding clause (B) shall be delivered to GNMA, FNMA, FHLMC or such other Investor, or to a custodian for any thereof, as the case may be, in connection with the delivery of the Collateral.
- If a pledged Collateral Document requires correction, to the Assignor under cover of a bailee letter requiring the document to be returned to the Lender within 14 days as set forth hereunder.
- In the event that the Lender shall be required to release any Collateral pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.03 or 4.04 of the Warehouse Credit Agreement, the Lender shall release any such Collateral consisting of Mortgage-backed Securities to the Investor under the related Purchase Commitment on the settlement date specified in such Purchase Commitment by book-entry transfer of such Mortgage-backed Securities to the account of such Investor against the wire transfer to the account of the Lender of the full purchase price specified in such Purchase Commitment; provided that the Lender shall have received from the Investor or the Assignor appropriate instructions with respect to such delivery, transfer and payment.
- Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the Lender shall not be obligated to take any action in respect of any release of any Collateral which would adversely affect any possessory lien in favor of the Lender in such Collateral unless such release is for the purpose of terminating such possessory lien.
- Rights of the Lender. The Lender shall not be liable for failure to collect under or realize upon any Collateral or any part thereof, or for any delay in so doing nor shall it be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto. If an Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender may thereafter, without notice, exercise all rights, privileges or options pertaining to any Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof, upon such terms and conditions as it may determine, all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Lender shall have no duty to exercise any of the aforesaid rights, privileges or options and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.
- Remedies. The Assignor agrees that, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then and in every such case, subject only to any mandatory requirements of applicable law then in effect, the Lender, in addition to any rights now or hereafter existing under applicable law, shall have all rights of a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code in all relevant jurisdictions and may:
- Instruct the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation constituting the Collateral to make any payment required by the terms of such instrument, agreement or obligation directly to the Lender and, in connection therewith, complete and deliver to such obligors the notification letters from the Assignor delivered to the Lender pursuant to Section 10(e) hereof; and
- Sell, assign or otherwise liquidate, or direct the Assignor to sell, assign or otherwise liquidate, any or all of the Collateral or any part thereof, on a servicing released basis or otherwise, and take possession of the proceeds of any such sale, assignment or liquidation. Any Collateral may be sold, assigned, or otherwise disposed of under one or more contracts or as an entirety, and without the necessity of gathering at the place of sale the property to be sold, and in general in such manner, at such time or times, at such place or places and on such terms as the Lender may, in compliance with any mandatory requirements of applicable law, determine to be commercially reasonable. To the extent permitted by any such requirement of law, the Lender on behalf of the Lender and/or the holder of the Note may bid for and become the purchaser of the Collateral or any item thereof, offered for sale in accordance with this Section 6 without accountability to the Assignor (except to the extent of surplus money received as provided in Section 8). The Lender need give the Assignor only such notice of disposition as shall be required under the provisions of applicable law.
- Waiver of Claims. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, THE ASSIGNOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTICE AND JUDICIAL HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE LENDER'S DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE COLLATERAL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING FOR ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR REMEDIES AND ANY SUCH RIGHT WHICH THE ASSIGNOR WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OR ANY STATUTE OF THE UNITED STATES OR OF ANY STATE, and the Assignor hereby further waives, to the extent permitted by law:
- All requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Lender's rights hereunder; and
- All rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable law in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement or the absolute sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof, and the Assignor, for itself and all who may claim under it, insofar as it now or hereafter lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws.
- In the event that a dispute should arise over whether any item of the Collateral is subject to the rights of a third party, the Lender or its designee shall hold such Collateral, and the Assignor agrees to hold the Lender harmless in respect of claims of such third parties arising from such possession.
- Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any Collateral disposed of pursuant to Section 6 shall be applied as follows:
- To the payment of any and all expenses and fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the Lender in disposing of Collateral and any and all amounts incurred by the Lender in connection therewith;
- Next, any surplus then remaining to the payment of the Obligations in the following order of priority:
- all interest accrued and unpaid on the Advances made;
- the principal amount owing on the Advances made;
- the Fees then owing to the Lender; and
- all other Obligations then owing.
- If the Commitment is then terminated, and no other Obligation is outstanding, any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the Assignor, subject, however, to the rights of the holder of any then existing Lien of which the Lender has actual notice (without investigation);
- Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Lender shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Lender, then and in every such case the Assignor, the Lender and each holder of any of the Obligations shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral subject to the security interest created under this Agreement, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Lender shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.
- Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Assignor. The Assignor represents and warrants on the date hereof, on each date on which any Advance is made and on each date on which any Mortgage Loans or Mortgage-backed Securities are delivered to the Lender for the purposes of pledge hereunder, and covenants that:
- Necessary Filings. All filings, registrations and recordings necessary or appropriate to create, preserve, protect and perfect the security interest granted by the Assignor hereby in respect of the Collateral have been accomplished and the security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement in and to the Collateral constitutes a valid and enforceable perfected security interest therein superior and prior to the rights of all other Persons therein and subject to no other Liens (except that the Collateral may be subject to Liens permitted pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Warehouse Credit Agreement) and is entitled to all the rights, priorities and benefits afforded by the Uniform Commercial Code or other relevant law as enacted in any relevant jurisdiction to perfected security interests.
- No Liens. The Assignor is, and as to Collateral acquired by it from time to time after the date hereof the Assignor will be, the owner of all the Collateral free from any Lien or other right, title or interest of any Person (other than Liens permitted pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Warehouse Credit Agreement), and the Assignor shall defend the Collateral against all claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein adverse to the Lender.
- Other Financing Statements. There is no financing statement (or similar statement or instrument of registration under the law of any jurisdiction) covering or purporting to cover any interest of any kind in the Collateral and so long as the Commitment has not been terminated, the Note is outstanding or any of the Obligations remain unpaid, the Assignor will not execute or authorize to be filed in any public office any financing statement (or similar statement or instrument of registration under the law of any jurisdiction) or statements relating to the Collateral, except financing statements filed or to be filed in respect of and covering the security interests granted hereby by the Assignor.
- Chief Executive Offices; Records. The chief executive office of the Assignor is located at the address set forth opposite its signature hereto. The Assignor will not move such office except to such new location as the Assignor may establish in accordance with the last sentence of this Section 10(d). Except as provided in the Warehouse Credit Agreement, the originals of all documents evidencing the Collateral and the only original books of account and records of the Assignor relating thereto are, and will continue to be, kept at such chief executive office, or at such new locations as the Assignor may establish in accordance with the last sentence of this Section 10(d). Except as provided in the Warehouse Credit Agreement, all of the Collateral is, and will continue to be, maintained at, and controlled and directed (including, without limitation, for general accounting purposes) from, such office locations shown above, or such new locations as the Assignor may establish in accordance with the last sentence of this Section 10(d). The Assignor shall not establish a new location for such offices until (i) it shall have given to the Lender not less than 45 days' prior written notice of its intention so to do, clearly describing such new location and providing such other information in connection therewith as the Lender may reasonably request, and (ii) with respect to such new location, it shall have taken all action, satisfactory to the Lender, to maintain the security interest of the Lender in the Collateral intended to be granted hereby at all times fully perfected and in full force and effect.
- Obligor Notices. The Assignor shall deliver to the Lender at the time of the initial pledge of Collateral to the Lender hereunder, and at such times thereafter as the Lender shall request, such number of form letters to obligors on Mortgage Loans as the Lender shall reasonably request, such letters to be on the Assignor's letterhead, addressed in blank, signed by the Assignor and instructing such obligors that, commencing with the payment date following receipt thereof, all payments to be made by such obligor on such obligor's Mortgage Loan shall henceforth be made to the Lender or its designee. The Lender agrees that it will only complete and/or deliver any such letter to an obligor on a Mortgage Loan if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and any cure period provided in the Warehouse Credit Agreement shall have expired. The Lender shall give the Assignor notice of its delivery of any such letters.
- Protection of Security. The Assignor will do nothing to impair the rights of the Lender or Lender in the Collateral.
- No Disposition, etc. Without the prior written consent of the Lender, the Assignor agrees that it will not sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Collateral, nor will it create, incur or permit to exist any pledge, lien, mortgage, hypothecation, security interest, charge, option or any other encumbrance with respect to any of the Collateral, or any interest therein, or any proceeds thereof, except for Liens permitted pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Warehouse Credit Agreement and the Lien and security interest provided for by this Agreement and except for any sale or other disposition as permitted under Sections 4(c)(i) and 4(d) of this Agreement.
- Further Actions. The Assignor will, at its own expense, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Lender from time to time such lists, descriptions and designations of the Collateral, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and other assurances or instruments and take such further steps relating to the Collateral and other property or rights covered by the security interest hereby granted, which the Lender deems reasonably appropriate or advisable to perfect, preserve or protect its security interest in the Collateral. The Assignor will pay any applicable filing fees and related expenses. The Assignor authorizes the Lender to file any such financing statement without the signature of the Assignor to the extent permitted by applicable law.
- Mortgage Files and Related Records. The Assignor, if it is servicing any Mortgage Loans pledged as Collateral or any Mortgage Loans which secure a Mortgage-backed Security pledged as Collateral, will maintain (or will cause any subservicer thereof to maintain) satisfactory and complete records with respect to such Mortgage Loans (including but not limited to any applicable credit/origination files) sufficient to permit the proper servicing and efficient sale thereof. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Assignor will (i) deliver and turn over to the Lender, or at the option of the Lender shall provide the Lender with access to, at any time on demand of the Lender, the mortgage files maintained by the Assignor with respect to, and all books, records and computer software, tapes or disks relating to, the Mortgage Loans pledged as Collateral hereunder and/or (ii) allow the Lender to occupy the premises of the Assignor where such mortgage files, books, records and computer tapes are located and utilize such premises and the equipment located thereon to service, administer and collect the Collateral.
- Mortgage Notes. The Assignor shall notify the Lender (x) of (i) any payment default in respect of any pledged Collateral which has continued for 30 days, 60 days or 90 days, respectively, and any other material default in any other term of any pledged Collateral, (ii) the occurrence of an Insolvency Event (of which the Borrower has knowledge) in respect of any obligor on any Mortgage Loan pledged as Collateral and (iii) the commencement of foreclosure or similar proceedings in respect of the premises which secure any Mortgage Loan pledged as Collateral, such notice to be delivered not later than three (3) Business Days following the occurrence thereof in the case of clauses (i) and (iii) and promptly upon the Assignor's receiving notice or otherwise becoming aware thereof in the case of clause (ii) and (y) immediately upon the payment by any mortgagor of principal under any Mortgage Note then held by the Lender hereunder in an amount of $1,000 or more in excess of the regularly scheduled installment thereon, identifying the loan number of such Mortgage Loan and the amount so paid.
- Recourse. This Agreement is made with full recourse to the Assignor and pursuant to and upon all the warranties, representations, covenants and agreements on the part of the Assignor contained herein, in the Warehouse Credit Agreement and otherwise in writing in connection herewith or therewith.
- Severability. Any provision of this Security Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
- No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. The Lender shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by the Lender, and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by the Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion. No failure or delay on the part of the Lender or any holder of the Note in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Assignor and the Lender or the holder of the Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Lender or the holder of the Note would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on the Assignor in any case shall entitle the Assignor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Lender or the holder of the Note to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. In the event that the Lender shall bring any suit to enforce any of its rights hereunder and shall be entitled to judgment, then the Lender may recover the reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees incurred in such suit and the amounts thereof shall be included in such judgment.
- Indemnity; Reimbursement.
- The Assignor agrees to indemnify, reimburse and hold the Lender, the holder of the Note, and their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents and assigns (hereinafter in this Section 13 referred to individually as an "Indemnitee" and collectively as the "Indemnitees") harmless from any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) (for the purposes of this Section 13 the foregoing are collectively called "expenses") of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by any of the Indemnitees in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or the documents executed in connection herewith and therewith or in any other way connected with the administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms of or the preservation of any rights under any thereof, or in any way relating to or arising out of the ownership, ordering, purchase, delivery, control, acceptance, financing, possession, condition, sale, return or other disposition or use of the Collateral (including, without limitation, latent or other defects, whether or not discoverable), the violation of the laws of any country, state or other governmental body or unit, any tort (including, without limitation, claims arising or imposed under the doctrine of strict liability, or for or on account of injury to or the death of any Person (including any Indemnitee), or for property damage) or any contract claim; provided that no Indemnitee shall be indemnified pursuant to this Section 13(a) for expenses to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. The Assignor agrees that upon written notice by any Indemnitee of any assertion that could give rise to an expense, it shall assume full responsibility for the defense thereof. Each Indemnitee agrees to use its best efforts to promptly notify the Assignor of any such assertion of which such Indemnitee has knowledge.
- Without limiting the application of Section 13(a), the Assignor agrees to pay, or reimburse the Lender for, any and all fees, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature incurred by it in connection with (i) the handling of the Collateral and its other obligations hereunder and the enforcement of its rights hereunder and (ii) the creation, preservation or protection of the Lender's Lien on, and security interest in, the Collateral, including, without limitation, any fees, costs and expenses in connection with the transmittal and delivery of any Mortgage Loan or related documents to any third party, the delivery, storage, pledge, registration or sale of Mortgage- backed Securities, all fees and taxes in connection with the recording or filing of instruments and documents in public offices, payment or discharge of any taxes or Liens upon or in respect of the Collateral, premiums for insurance with respect to the Collateral and all other fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of any legal counsel, public accountant and other expert or advisor retained by the Lender) in connection with protecting, maintaining or preserving the Collateral and the Lender's interest therein, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, or in defending or prosecuting any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to the Collateral.
- Without limiting the application of Section 13(a) or (b), the Assignor agrees to pay, indemnify and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any expenses which such Indemnitee may suffer, expend or incur in consequence of or growing out of any misrepresentation by the Assignor in this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or in any statement or writing contemplated by or made or delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that the Assignor may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender. All agreements, statements, representations and warranties made by the Assignor herein or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by the Assignor or on its behalf under this Agreement or any Credit Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lender and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents regardless of any investigation made by the Lender or on its behalf.
