(b) Buyer’s
agreement to enter into each Transaction (including the initial Transaction) is
subject to the satisfaction of the following further conditions precedent, both
immediately prior to entering into such Transaction and also after giving effect
to the consummation thereof and the intended use of the proceeds of the
sale:
22
(i) The
applicable Seller shall give Buyer no less than one (1) Business Day’s prior
written notice of each Transaction (including the initial Transaction), together
with a signed, written confirmation in the form of Exhibit I attached
hereto prior to each Transaction (a “Confirmation”). Each
Confirmation shall describe the Purchased Assets, shall identify Buyer and the
applicable Seller and shall be executed by both Buyer and such Seller (provided, that, in
instances where funds are being wired to an account other than 000-000-000 at
JPMorgan Chase Funding Inc., the Confirmation shall be signed by two Responsible
Officers of the applicable Seller); provided, however, that Buyer
shall not be liable to such Seller if it inadvertently acts on a Confirmation
that has not been signed by a Responsible Officer of such Seller, and shall set
forth:
(A)
the Purchase Date;
(B) the
Purchase Price for the Purchased Asset included in the Transaction;
(C) the
Repurchase Date;
(D) any
additional terms or conditions not inconsistent with this Agreement;
and
(E) the
requested Advance Rate and the related Maximum Advance Rate.
No
Confirmation may be amended unless in a writing executed by Buyer and the
applicable Seller. Neither (i) changes in the Repurchase Price
related to a Purchased Asset (due to the application of Principle Payments) nor
(ii) periodic adjustments to the LIBO Rate related to a Purchased Asset shall
require an amendment to the related Confirmation.
(ii) Buyer
shall have the right to review the Eligible Assets each Seller proposes to sell
to Buyer in any Transaction and to conduct its own due diligence investigation
of such Eligible Assets as Buyer determines (“Pre-Purchase Due
Diligence”). Buyer shall be entitled to make a determination,
in the exercise of its sole discretion, that, in the case of a Transaction, it
shall or shall not purchase any or all of the assets proposed to be sold to
Buyer by each Seller. On the Purchase Date for the Transaction, which
shall be not less than one (1) Business Day following the final approval of an
Eligible Asset by Buyer in accordance with Exhibit VIII hereto,
the Eligible Assets shall be transferred to Buyer or the Custodian against the
transfer of the Purchase Price to an account of Sellers. Buyer shall
inform the applicable Seller of its determination with respect to any such
proposed Transaction solely in accordance with Exhibit VIII attached
hereto. Upon the approval by Buyer of a particular proposed
Transaction, Buyer shall deliver to the applicable Seller a signed copy of the
related Confirmation described in clause (i) above, on or before the scheduled
date of the underlying proposed Transaction. Prior to the approval of
each proposed Transaction by Buyer:
(A) Buyer
shall have (i) determined, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the asset
proposed to be sold to Buyer by a Seller in such Transaction is an Eligible
Asset and (ii) obtained internal credit approval, to be granted or denied in
Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, for the inclusion of such Eligible Asset
as a Purchased Asset in a Transaction, without regard for any prior credit
decisions by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer, and with the understanding that
Buyer shall have the absolute right to change any or all of its internal
underwriting criteria at any time, without notice of any kind to such
Seller;
23
(B) Buyer
shall have fully completed all external legal due diligence;
(C) Buyer
shall have determined the Pricing Rate applicable to the Transaction (including
the Applicable Spread);
(D) no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document and no event shall have occurred
which has, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse
Effect;
(E) the
applicable Seller shall have delivered to Buyer a list of all exceptions to the
representations and warranties relating to the Purchased Asset and any other
eligibility criteria for such Purchased Asset (the “Requested Exceptions
Report”);
(F) Buyer
shall have waived all exceptions in the Requested Exceptions
Report;
(G) both
immediately prior to the requested Transaction and also after giving effect
thereto and to the intended use thereof, the representations and warranties made
by Sellers in Exhibit
VI and Article
10, as applicable, shall be true, correct and complete on and as of such
Purchase Date in all respects with the same force and effect as if made on and
as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated
to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date;
(H) subject
to Buyer’s right to perform one or more due diligence reviews pursuant to Article 27, Buyer
shall have completed its due diligence review of the Purchased Asset File, and
such other documents, records, agreements, instruments, mortgaged properties or
information relating to such Purchased Asset as Buyer in its sole discretion
deems appropriate to review and such review shall be satisfactory to Buyer in
its sole discretion and Buyer has consented in writing to the Eligible Asset
becoming a Purchased Asset; provided, that if
Buyer’s diligence review of the Purchased Asset File requires the delivery of a
mortgage file or the equivalent, the applicable Seller shall have the benefit of
such delayed delivery provisions as are customary in pooling and servicing
agreements (e.g., while a promissory note (or analogous document directly
evidencing the obligation) must be delivered as a condition of closing, an
ancillary document or estoppels may be delivered within a reasonable time frame
thereafter);
(I)
with respect to any Eligible Asset to be purchased hereunder on the related
Purchase Date that is not serviced by a Seller or an Affiliate thereof, such
Seller shall have provided to Buyer a copy of the related Servicing Agreement,
certified as a true, correct and complete copy of the original, together with a
Servicer Notice, fully executed by such Seller and the servicer named in the
related Servicing Agreement;
24
(J) Sellers,
regardless of whether this Agreement is executed, shall have paid to Buyer all
legal fees and expenses and the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Buyer
in connection with the entering into of any Transaction hereunder, including,
without limitation, costs associated with due diligence, recording or other
administrative expenses necessary or incidental to the execution of any
Transaction hereunder, which amounts, at Buyer’s option, may be withheld from
the sale proceeds of any Transaction hereunder;
(K) Buyer
shall have determined, in its sole and absolute discretion, that no Margin
Deficit shall exist, either immediately prior to or after giving effect to the
requested Transaction;
(L)
Buyer shall have received from Custodian on each Purchase Date an Asset Schedule
and Exception Report (as defined in the Custodial Agreement) with respect to
each Purchased Asset, dated the Purchase Date, duly completed and with
exceptions acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion in respect of Eligible
Assets to be purchased hereunder on such Business Day;
(M) Buyer
shall have received from the applicable Seller a Release Letter covering each
Eligible Asset to be sold to Buyer;
(N) Buyer
shall have reasonably determined that no introduction of, or a change in, any
Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or administration of any Requirement
of Law applicable to Buyer has made it unlawful, and no Governmental Authority
shall have asserted that it is unlawful, for Buyer to enter into
Transactions;
(O) the
Repurchase Date for such Transaction is not later than the Maturity
Date;
(P) each
Seller shall have taken such other action as Buyer shall have reasonably
requested in order to transfer the Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement
and to perfect all security interests granted under this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document in favor of Buyer with respect to the Purchased
Assets;
(Q) with
respect to any Eligible Asset to be purchased hereunder, if such Eligible Asset
was acquired by Seller, Seller shall have disclosed to Buyer the acquisition
cost of such Eligible Asset (including therein reasonable supporting
documentation required by Buyer, if any);
(R) Buyer
shall have received all such other and further documents, documentation and
legal opinions (including, without limitation, opinions regarding the perfection
of Buyer’s security interests) as Buyer in its reasonable discretion shall
reasonably require;
25
(S) Buyer
shall have received a copy of any documents relating to any Hedging Transaction,
and each Seller shall have pledged and assigned to Buyer, pursuant to Article 6 hereunder,
all of such Seller’s rights under each Hedging Transaction included within a
Purchased Asset, if any;
(T) no
“Termination Event”, “Event of Default”, “Potential Event of Default” or any
similar event by a Seller, however defined therein, shall have occurred and be
continuing under any Hedging Transaction; and
(U) the
counterparty to each Seller in any Hedging Transaction shall be an Affiliated
Hedge Counterparty or a Qualified Hedge Counterparty, and, in the case of a
Qualified Hedge Counterparty, in the event that such counterparty no longer
qualifies as a Qualified Hedge Counterparty, then, at the election of Buyer,
such Seller shall ensure that such counterparty posts additional collateral in
an amount satisfactory to Buyer under all its Hedging Transactions with such
Seller, or such Seller shall immediately terminate the Hedging Transactions with
such counterparty and enter into new Hedging Transactions with a Qualified Hedge
Counterparty.
(c) With
respect to any Transaction, the Pricing Rate shall be determined initially on
the Pricing Rate Determination Date applicable to the first Pricing Rate Period
for such Transaction, and shall be reset on the Pricing Rate Determination Date
for all of the next succeeding Pricing Rate Periods for such
Transaction. Buyer or its agent shall determine in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement the Pricing Rate on each Pricing Rate Determination
Date for the related Pricing Rate Period in the Buyer’s sole and absolute
discretion, exercised in good faith, and notify the applicable Seller of such
rate for such period each such Pricing Rate Determination Date.
(d) Each
Confirmation, together with this Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the
terms of the Transaction(s) covered thereby. In the event of any
conflict between the terms of such Confirmation and the terms of this Agreement,
other than with respect to the Advance Rate or the applicable Price Differential
set forth in the related Confirmation, this Agreement shall
prevail.
(e) On
the Repurchase Date (including any Early Repurchase Date) for any Transaction,
termination of the Transaction will be effected by (A) payment by the applicable
Seller to Buyer of an amount equal to the sum of (1) the Repurchase Price for
the applicable Purchased Asset and (2) any other amounts payable under this
Agreement (including, without limitation, Article 3(i)) and
under any related Hedging Transactions with respect to such Purchased Asset and
(B) transfer to such Seller of the Purchased Asset being repurchased and any
Income in respect thereof received by Buyer (and not previously credited or
transferred to, or applied to the obligations of, such Seller pursuant to Article 5 of this
Agreement).
26
(f) Each
Seller shall be entitled to terminate a Transaction on demand and repurchase the
Purchased Asset subject to a Transaction on any Business Day prior to the
Repurchase Date (an “Early Repurchase
Date”); provided, however,
that:
(i)
such Seller notifies Buyer in writing of its intent to terminate such
Transaction and repurchase such Purchased Asset, setting forth the Early
Repurchase Date and identifying with particularity the Purchased Asset to be
repurchased on such Early Repurchase Date, no later than five (5) Business Days
prior to such Early Repurchase Date;
(ii) on
such Early Repurchase Date, such Seller pays to Buyer an amount equal to the sum
of (A) the Repurchase Price for the applicable Purchased Asset and (B) any
other amounts payable under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Article 3(i)) and
under any related Hedging Transactions with respect to such Purchased Asset
against transfer to such Seller or its agent of such Purchased Assets;
and
(iii) on
such Early Repurchase Date, in addition to the amounts set forth in subclause
(ii) above, such Seller pays to Buyer, on account of a Purchased Asset then
subject to a Transaction, an amount sufficient to reduce the Purchase Price for
such Purchased Asset to an amount equal to the Target Price for such Purchased
Asset.
(g) If
prior to the first day of any Pricing Rate Period with respect to any
Transaction, (i) Buyer shall have determined in the exercise of its
reasonable business judgment (which determination shall be conclusive and
binding upon Sellers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant
market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO
Rate for such Pricing Rate Period, or (ii) the LIBO Rate determined or to be
determined for such Pricing Rate Period will not adequately and fairly reflect
the cost to Buyer (as determined and certified by Buyer) of making or
maintaining Transactions during such Pricing Rate Period, Buyer shall give
telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to Sellers as soon as practicable
thereafter. If such notice is given, the Pricing Rate with respect to
such Transaction for such Pricing Rate Period, and for any subsequent Pricing
Rate Periods until such notice has been withdrawn by Buyer, shall be a per annum
rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus the Applicable Spread (the “Alternative
Rate”).
(h) Notwithstanding
any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement
of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful
for Buyer to enter into or maintain Transactions as contemplated by the
Transaction Documents, (a) the commitment of Buyer hereunder to enter into
new Transactions and to continue Transactions as such shall forthwith be
canceled, and (b) the Transactions then outstanding shall be converted
automatically to Alternative Rate Transactions on the last day of the then
current Pricing Rate Period or within such earlier period as may be required by
law. If any such conversion of a Transaction occurs on a day that is
not the last day of the then current Pricing Rate Period with respect to such
Transaction, the applicable Seller shall pay to Buyer such amounts, if any, as
may be required pursuant to Article 3(l) of this
Agreement.
27
(i) Upon
demand by Buyer, Sellers shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any
loss, cost or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and
disbursements) that Buyer may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) default
by a Seller repurchasing any Purchased Asset after Seller has given a notice in
accordance with Article 3(f) of an
Early Repurchase, (ii) any payment of the Repurchase Price on any day other than
a Remittance Date, including Breakage Costs, (iii) a default by a Seller in
selling Eligible Assets after such Seller has notified Buyer of a proposed
Transaction and Buyer has agreed to purchase such Eligible Assets in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement, (iv) Buyer’s enforcement of the terms of
any of the Transaction Documents, (v) any actions taken to perfect or continue
any lien created under any Transaction Documents, and/or (vi) Buyer entering
into any of the Transaction Documents or owning any Purchased Item. A
certificate as to such costs, losses, damages and expenses, setting forth the
calculations therefor shall be submitted promptly by Buyer to such Seller and
shall be prima facie evidence of the information set forth therein.
(j) If
the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation
or application thereof by any Governmental Authority or compliance by Buyer with
any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any
central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Buyer made
subsequent to the date hereof:
(i) shall
subject Buyer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Transaction
Documents, any Purchased Asset or any Transaction, or change the basis of
taxation of payments to Buyer in respect thereof (except for income taxes and
any changes in the rate of tax on Buyer’s overall net income);
(ii) shall
impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan
or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in
or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any
other acquisition of funds by, any office of Buyer that is not otherwise
included in the determination of the LIBO Rate hereunder; or
(iii) shall
impose on Buyer any other condition;
and the
result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount
that Buyer deems, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, to be
material, of entering into, continuing or maintaining Transactions or to reduce
any amount receivable under the Transaction Documents in respect thereof; then,
in any such case, such Seller shall promptly pay Buyer, upon its demand, any
additional amounts necessary to compensate Buyer for such increased cost or
reduced amount receivable. If Buyer becomes entitled to claim any
additional amounts pursuant to this Article 3(j), it
shall, within ten (10) Business Days of such event, notify such Seller of the
event by reason of which it has become so entitled. Such notification
as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this
subsection shall be submitted by Buyer to such Seller and shall be prima facie
evidence of such additional amounts. This covenant shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by such Seller of any or all of
the Purchased Assets.
28
(k) If
Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any
Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or
application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer
with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having
the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date
hereof does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s
or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a
level below that which Buyer or such corporation could have achieved but for
such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such
corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by
Buyer, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, to be material, then
from time to time, after submission by Buyer to a Seller of a written request
therefor, such Seller shall pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate Buyer for such reduction. Such notification as to the
calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall
be submitted by Buyer to such Seller and shall be prima facie evidence of such
additional amounts. This covenant shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and the repurchase by such Seller of any or all of the Purchased
Assets.
(l) If
a Seller repurchases Purchased Assets on a day other than the last day of a
Pricing Rate Period, such Seller shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless
from any actual losses, costs and/or expenses which Buyer sustains as a direct
consequence thereof (“Breakage Costs”), in
each case for the remainder of the applicable Pricing Rate
Period. Buyer shall deliver to such Seller a statement setting forth
the amount and basis of determination of any Breakage Costs in reasonable
detail, it being agreed that such statement and the method of its calculation
shall be conclusive and binding upon Sellers absent manifest
error. This Article 3(l) shall
survive termination of this Agreement and the repurchase of all Purchased Assets
subject to Transactions hereunder.
(m) (i) Notwithstanding
the definition of Maturity Date herein, provided that all of the extension
conditions listed in clause (ii) below (collectively, the “Maturity Date Extension
Conditions”) shall have been satisfied, Buyer shall agree to extend the
Maturity Date, for a period of three hundred sixty-four (364) additional days
(the “Extension
Period”) by giving notice to Seller of such extension and of the new
Maturity Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 3(m), in no
event shall Seller be permitted to extend the Maturity Date for more than one
(1) Extension Period.
(ii) For
purposes of this Article 3(m), the
Maturity Date Extension Conditions shall be deemed to have been satisfied
if:
(A) Seller
shall have given Buyer written notice, not less than forty-five (45) days prior
but no more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the originally
scheduled Maturity Date, of Seller’ desire to extend the Maturity
Date;
(B) no
Material Adverse Effect, Margin Deficit, Default or Event of Default under this
Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing as of the date notice is given
under subclause (ii) above or as of the originally scheduled Maturity Date and
no “Termination Event,” “Event of Default” or “Potential Event of Default” or
any similar event by Seller, however denominated, shall have occurred and be
continuing under any Hedging Transaction; and
29
(C) all
representations and warranties shall be true, correct, complete and accurate in
all respects as of the existing Maturity Date.
(iii) Notwithstanding
any extension to the Maturity Date as described in this Article 3, if the
Repurchase Date for a Transaction is extended by agreement of the Buyer and
Seller, Buyer and Seller shall execute a new Confirmation containing the same
pricing terms as the original Confirmation and the extended Repurchase Date for
the Transaction.
ARTICLE
4.
MARGIN
MAINTENANCE
(a) If
at any time the Buyer’s Margin Amount for all Purchased Assets is less than the
Repurchase Price for all Purchased Assets (a “Margin Deficit”),
then Buyer may by notice to Sellers in the form of Exhibit X (a “Margin Deficit
Notice”) require Sellers to, at each Seller’s option, no later than one
(1) Business Day following the receipt of a Margin Deficit Notice (the “Margin Deadline”) to
the extent such Margin Deficit equals or exceeds the Minimum Transfer Amount,
(i) repurchase some or all of the Purchased Assets at their respective
Repurchase Prices or (ii) make a payment in reduction of the Repurchase Price of
some or all of the Purchased Assets, or (iii) choose any combination of the
foregoing, such that, after giving effect to such transfers, repurchases and
payments, Buyer’s Margin Amount for all Purchased Assets shall be equal to or
greater than the aggregate Repurchase Price for all Purchased
Assets.
(b) 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. Sellers 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 Sellers.
ARTICLE
5.
INCOME
PAYMENTS AND PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS
(a) The
Depository Account shall be established at the Depository pursuant to the
Depository Agreement concurrently with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement by Sellers and Buyer. Buyer shall have sole dominion and
control over the Depository Account, which shall be subject to the Depository
Agreement. All Income in respect of the Purchased Assets and any
payments made to each Seller in respect of associated Hedging Transactions, as
well as any interest received from the reinvestment of such Income, shall be
deposited directly by Servicer into the Collection Account in accordance with
the Interim Servicing Agreement (or the related Servicer Notice) and funds on
deposit in the Collection Account will then be transferred to Depository by
Servicer for deposit into the Depository Account in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the Interim Servicing Agreement or the related Servicer
Notice and shall be remitted by the Depository in accordance with the applicable
provisions of Articles
5(c) through 5(f) of this
Agreement.
30
(b) Immediately
upon the sale to Buyer of any Purchased Asset that is serviced primarily by
Servicer, the applicable Seller shall deliver to each Mortgagor, issuer of a
participation, servicer and trustee with respect to each Purchased Asset or
borrower under a Purchased Asset an irrevocable direction letter, instructing,
as applicable, the Mortgagor, issuer of a participation, servicer or trustee
with respect to such Purchased Asset or borrower to pay all amounts payable
under the related Purchased Asset to Servicer pursuant to the Interim Servicing
Agreement, for immediate deposit by Servicer into the Collection Account
pursuant to the Interim Servicing Agreement. If a Mortgagor, issuer
of a participation, servicer or trustee with respect to the Purchased Asset or
borrower forwards any Income with respect to a Purchased Asset to such Seller or
any Affiliate of such Seller rather than directly to Servicer for immediate
deposit into the Collection Account, such Seller shall, or shall cause such
Affiliate to, (i) deliver an additional irrevocable direction letter to the
applicable Mortgagor, issuer of a participation, servicer or trustee with
respect to the Purchased Asset or borrower and make other best efforts to cause
such Mortgagor, issuer of a participation, servicer or trustee with respect to
the Purchased Asset or borrower to forward such amounts directly to the
Collection Account and (ii) immediately deposit in the Collection Account
any such amounts. Funds on deposit in the Collection Account will
then be transferred to Depository by Servicer for deposit into the Depository
Account in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Interim Servicing
Agreement or the related Servicer Notice.
(c) So
long as no Event of Default or Margin Deficit with respect to the Purchased
Asset shall have occurred and be continuing, all Income received by the
Depository in respect of the Purchased Asset (other than scheduled or
unscheduled Principal Payments and net sale proceeds) during each Collection
Period shall be applied by the Depository on the related Remittance Date in the
following order of priority:
(i) first, pro rata, (A) to Buyer, an
amount equal to the Price Differential that has accreted and is outstanding as
of such Remittance Date and (B) to any Affiliated Hedge Counterparty, any amount
then due and payable to an Affiliated Hedge Counterparty under any Hedging
Transaction related to a Purchased Asset;
(ii) second, to Buyer, an amount
equal to any other amounts then due and payable to Buyer or its Affiliates under
any Transaction Document; and
(iii) third, to the applicable
Seller, the remainder, if any.
(d) So
long as no Event of Default or Margin Deficit shall have occurred and be
continuing, any Principal Payments shall be applied by the Depository on the
Business Day following the Business Day on which such funds are deposited in the
Depository Account in the following order of priority:
(i) first, pro rata, (A) to Buyer, until
the Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset has been reduced to the Target Price
for such Purchased Asset as of the date of such payment (as determined by Buyer
after giving effect to such Principal Payment and application of net sales
proceeds, if applicable) and (B) solely with respect to any Hedging Transaction
with an Affiliated Hedge Counterparty related to such Purchased Asset, to such
Affiliated Hedge Counterparty an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid breakage
costs under such Hedging Transaction related to such Purchased
Asset;
31
(ii) second, to Buyer, an amount
equal to any other amounts due and owing to Buyer or its Affiliates under any
Transaction Document; and
(iii) third, to the applicable
Seller, the remainder of such Principal Payments or net sale proceeds, if
applicable.
(e) If
Buyer shall have determined that a Margin Deficit shall have occurred, but no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Income (including,
without limitation, any Principal Payments or any other amounts received,
without regard to their source) received by the Depository in respect of the
Purchased Asset shall be applied by the Depository on the related Remittance
Date in the following order of priority:
(i) first, pro rata, (A) to Buyer, an
amount equal to the Price Differential that has accreted and is outstanding in
respect of all of the Purchased Assets as of such Business Day and (B) to any
Affiliated Hedge Counterparty, any amounts then due and payable to such
Affiliated Hedge Counterparty under any Hedging Transaction related to such
Purchased Asset;
(ii) second, to Buyer, an amount
to reduce the Repurchase Price of the Purchased Asset until the Repurchase Price
for the Purchased Asset has been reduced to the Buyer’s Margin Amount as of the
date of such payment (as determined by Buyer after giving effect to all
Principal Payments and application of net sale proceeds, if any, on such
day);
(iii) third, to Buyer, an amount
equal to any other amounts due and owing to Buyer or its Affiliates under any
Transaction Document; and
(iv) fourth, to the applicable
Seller, any remainder.
(f) If
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Income
(including, without limitation, any Principal Payments or any other amounts
received, without regard to their source) received by the Depository in respect
of the Purchased Asset shall be applied by the Depository on the Business Day
next following the Business Day on which such funds are deposited in the
Depository Account in the following order of priority:
(i) first, pro rata, (A) to Buyer, an
amount equal to the Price Differential that has accreted and is outstanding in
respect of all of the Purchased Assets as of such Business Day and (B) to any
Affiliated Hedge Counterparty, any amounts then due and payable to an Affiliated
Hedge Counterparty under any Hedging Transaction related to such Purchased
Asset;
(ii) second, to Buyer, on account
of the Repurchase Price of the Purchased Asset until the Repurchase Price has
been reduced to zero;
32
(iii) third, to Buyer, an amount
equal to any other amounts due and owing to Buyer or its Affiliates under any
Transaction Document; and
(iv) fourth, to the applicable
Seller, any remainder.
ARTICLE

SECURITY
INTEREST
(a) Buyer
and Sellers intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the
Purchased Assets and not loans from Buyer to Sellers secured by the Purchased
Assets. However, in order to preserve Buyer’s rights under this
Agreement in the event that a court or other forum re-characterizes the
Transactions hereunder as loans and as security for the performance by Sellers
of all of each Seller’s obligations to Buyer under the Transaction Documents and
the Transactions entered into hereunder, or in the event that a transfer of a
Purchased Asset is otherwise ineffective to effect an outright transfer of such
Purchased Asset to Buyer, each Seller hereby assigns, pledges and grants a
security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the
Purchased Items (as defined below) to Buyer to secure the payment of the
Repurchase Price on all Transactions to which it is a party and all other
amounts owing by Sellers to Buyer and any of its present or future Affiliates
hereunder, including, without limitation, amounts owing pursuant to Article 25, and under
the other Transaction Documents, including any obligations of Sellers under any
Hedging Transaction entered into with any Affiliated Hedge Counterparty
(including, without limitation, all amounts anticipated to be paid to Buyer by
an Affiliated Hedge Counterparty as provided for in the definition of Repurchase
Price) (collectively, the “Repurchase
Obligations”). All of Sellers’ right, title and interest in,
to and under each of the following items of property, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located, is
hereinafter referred to as the “Purchased
Items”:
(i) the
Purchased Assets and all “securities accounts” (as defined in
Article 8-501(a) of the UCC) to which any or all of the Purchased Assets
are credited;
(ii) the
Purchased Asset Documents, Servicing Agreements, Servicing Records, insurance
relating to the Purchased Assets, and collection and escrow accounts and letters
of credit relating to the Purchased Assets;
(iii) all
“general intangibles”, “accounts”, “chattel paper”, “investment property”,
“instruments” and “deposit accounts”, each as defined in the UCC, relating to or
constituting any and all of the foregoing; and
(iv) all
replacements, substitutions or distributions on or proceeds, payments, Income
and profits of, and records (but excluding any financial models or other
proprietary information) and files relating to any and all of any of the
foregoing.
(b) Without
limiting Article
6(a) hereto, to secure payment of the Repurchase Obligations owing to
Buyer, each Seller hereby grants to Buyer a security interest in all of Seller’s
right, title and interest in, to and under each of the following items of
property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter
created and wherever located, hereinafter referred to as the “Collateral”:
33
(i) the
Depository Account and all monies from time to time on deposit in the Depository
Account;
(ii) the
Purchased Items;
(iii) any
and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on, income relating to or
proceeds of any and all of the foregoing; and
(iv) each
Seller’s right under each Hedging Transaction, if any, relating to the Purchased
Assets to secure the Repurchase Obligations.
(c) Buyer
agrees to act as agent for and on behalf of the Affiliated Hedge Counterparties
with respect to the security interest granted hereby to secure the obligations
owing to the Affiliated Hedge Counterparties under any Hedging Transactions,
including, without limitation, with respect to the Purchased Assets and the
Purchased Asset Files held by the Custodian pursuant to the Custodial
Agreement.
(d) Buyer’s
security interest in the Collateral shall terminate only upon termination of
each Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, all Hedging Transactions and the
documents delivered in connection herewith and therewith. Upon such
termination, Buyer shall deliver to each Seller such UCC termination statements
and other release documents as may be commercially reasonable and return the
Purchased Assets to the applicable Seller and reconvey the Purchased Items to
the applicable Seller and release its security interest in the
Collateral. For purposes of the grant of the security interest
pursuant to this Article 6, this
Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the New York
Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”). Buyer
shall have all of the rights and may exercise all of the remedies of a secured
creditor under the UCC and the other laws of the State of New
York. In furtherance of the foregoing, (a) Buyer, at Sellers’ sole
cost and expense, shall cause to be filed in such locations as may be necessary
to perfect and maintain perfection and priority of the security interest granted
hereby, UCC financing statements and continuation statements (collectively, the
“Filings”), and
shall forward copies of such Filings to Sellers upon completion thereof, and (b)
each Seller shall from time to time take such further actions as may be
requested by Buyer to maintain and continue the perfection and priority of the
security interest granted hereby (including marking its records and files to
evidence the interests granted to Buyer hereunder).
(e) Each
Seller acknowledges that it has no right to service the Purchased Assets but
only has rights as a party to the current Interim Servicing Agreement or any
other servicing agreement with respect to the Purchased
Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in the
event that a Seller is deemed to retain any residual Servicing Rights, and for
the avoidance of doubt, each Seller grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a
security interest in the Servicing Rights and proceeds related thereto and in
all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or
hereafter created. The foregoing provision is intended to constitute
a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to
the Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Sections 101(47)(v)
and 741(7)(x) of the Bankruptcy Code.

benefit of Buyer as the owner thereof. Such Seller or its designee
shall maintain a copy of the Purchased Asset File and the originals of the

is at the will of Buyer for the sole purpose of servicing the related Purchased
Asset, and such retention and possession by such Seller or its designee is in a
custodial capacity only. The books and records (including, without

without regard to the applicable Seller’s instructions (including, but not
limited to, if an Act of Insolvency shall occur with respect to such Seller, to
the extent such Seller controls or is entitled to control selection of any
servicer, Buyer may transfer any or all of such servicing to an entity
satisfactory to Buyer). The applicable Seller shall give prior
written notice to Buyer of its intention to exercise any voting or corporate
rights with respect to a Purchased Asset that could materially impair the Market
Value of the Purchased Asset.

the provisions of Article 7(b) above
requiring the execution of the Custodial Delivery and corresponding delivery of
the Purchased Asset File to the Custodian on or prior to the related Purchase
Date, with respect to each Transaction involving a Purchased Asset that is
identified in the related Confirmation as a “Table Funded” Transaction, the

portion of the Purchased Asset File on or prior to the related Purchase Date,

any other Transaction Document shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase
transactions with the Purchased Assets or otherwise selling, transferring,
pledging, repledging, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Purchased Assets,
but no such transaction shall relieve Buyer of its obligations to transfer the

times while this Agreement and any Transaction thereunder is in effect, Buyer
and each Seller shall each be deemed to repeat all the foregoing representations
made by it.

will be deemed to represent and warrant to Buyer as of the Purchase Date for the
purchase of any Purchased Assets by Buyer from each Seller and any Transaction
thereunder and covenants that at all times while this Agreement and any
Transaction thereunder is in effect, unless otherwise stated
herein:
42
(i) Organization. Seller
is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws and
regulations of the jurisdiction of Seller’s incorporation or organization, as
the case may be, and is duly licensed, qualified, and in good standing in every
state where such licensing or qualification is necessary for the transaction of
Seller’s business, except where failure to so qualify could not be reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Seller has the power to own
and hold the assets it purports to own and hold, and to carry on its business as
now being conducted and proposed to be conducted, and has the power to execute,
deliver, and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents.
(ii) Due Execution;
Enforceability. The Transaction Documents have been or will be
duly executed and delivered by Seller, for good and valuable
consideration. The Transaction Documents constitute the legal, valid
and binding obligations of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with
their respective terms subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, and other limitations
on creditors’ rights generally and to equitable principles.
(iii) Ability to
Perform. Seller does not believe, nor does it have any reason
or cause to believe, that it cannot perform each and every covenant contained in
the Transaction Documents applicable to it to which it is a party.
(iv) Non-Contravention. Neither
the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, nor consummation by
Seller of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (or any of
them), nor compliance by Seller with the terms, conditions and provisions of the
Transaction Documents (or any of them) will conflict with or result in a breach
of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of (i) the organizational
documents of Seller, (ii) any contractual obligation to which Seller is now a
party or the rights under which have been assigned to Seller or the obligations
under which have been assumed by Seller or to which the assets of Seller are
subject or constitute a default thereunder, or result thereunder in the creation
or imposition of any lien upon any of the assets of Seller, other than pursuant
to the Transaction Documents, any judgment or order, writ, injunction, decree or
demand of any court applicable to Seller, or (iv) any applicable Requirement of
Law, in the case of clauses (ii)-(iv) above, to the extent that such conflict or
breach would have a Material Adverse Effect upon Seller’s ability to perform its
obligations hereunder.
(v) Litigation; Requirements of
Law. As of the date hereof and as of the Purchase Date for any
Transaction hereunder, there is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation, or
arbitration pending or, to the best knowledge of Seller, threatened against
Seller, any Affiliate of Seller or any of their respective assets, nor is there
any action, suit, proceeding, investigation, or arbitration pending or
threatened against Seller or any Affiliate of Seller that may result in any
Material Adverse Effect. Seller is in compliance in all material
respects with all Requirements of Law. Neither Seller nor any of its
Affiliates is in default in any material respect with respect to any judgment,
order, writ, injunction, decree, rule or regulation of any arbitrator or
Governmental Authority.
43
(vi) No
Broker. Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment
banker, agent, or other Person (other than Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer) who
may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale of
Purchased Assets pursuant to any of the Transaction Documents.
(vii) Good Title to Purchased
Assets. Immediately prior to the purchase of any Purchased
Assets by Buyer from Seller, such Purchased Assets are free and clear of any
lien, encumbrance or impediment to transfer (including any “adverse claim” as
defined in Article 8-102(a)(1) of the UCC), and Seller is the record and
beneficial owner of and has good and marketable title to and the right to sell
and transfer such Purchased Assets to Buyer and, upon transfer of such Purchased
Assets to Buyer, Buyer shall be the owner of such Purchased Assets free of any
adverse claim. In the event the related Transaction is
recharacterized as a secured financing of the Purchased Assets, the provisions
of this Agreement are effective to create in favor of the Buyer a valid security
interest in all rights, title and interest of Seller in, to and under the
Purchased Assets and the Buyer shall have a valid, perfected first priority
security interest in the Purchased Assets (and without limitation on the
foregoing, the Buyer, as entitlement holder, shall have a “security entitlement”
to the Purchased Assets).
(viii) No Decline in Market Value;
No Margin Deficit; No Defaults. Seller is not aware of any
post-Transaction facts or circumstances that are reasonably likely to cause or
have caused the Market Value of any Purchased Asset to decline. No
Margin Deficit exists and no Default or Event of Default has occurred or exists
under or with respect to the Transaction Documents.
(ix) Responsible
Officers. The responsible officers of Seller are listed on,
and true signatures of such responsible officers are set forth on, Exhibit II attached
to this Agreement.
(x) Representations and
Warranties Regarding Purchased Assets; Delivery of Purchased Asset
File.
(A) As
of the date hereof, Seller has not assigned, pledged, or otherwise conveyed or
encumbered any Purchased Asset to any other Person, and immediately prior to the
sale of such Purchased Asset to Buyer, Seller was the sole owner of such
Purchased Asset and had good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of all
liens, in each case except for (1) liens to be released simultaneously with the
sale to Buyer hereunder and (2) liens granted by Seller in favor of the
counterparty to any Hedging Transaction, solely to the extent such liens are
expressly subordinate to the rights and interests of Buyer
hereunder.
(B) The
provisions of this Agreement and the related Confirmation are effective to
either constitute a sale of Purchased Items to Buyer or to create in favor of
Buyer a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in all right, title and
interest of Seller in, to and under the Purchased Items.
44
(C) Upon
receipt by the Custodian of each Mortgage Note, Mezzanine Note, B-Note or Junior
Interest certificate, endorsed in blank by a duly authorized officer of Seller,
either a purchase shall have been completed by Buyer of such Mezzanine Note,
B-Note or Junior Interest certificate, as applicable, or Buyer shall have a
valid and fully perfected first priority security interest in all right, title
and interest of Seller in the Purchased Items described therein.
(D) Each
of the representations and warranties made in respect of the Purchased Assets
pursuant to Exhibit
VI are true, complete and correct, except to the extent disclosed in a
Requested Exceptions Report.
(E) Upon
the filing of financing statements on Form UCC-1 naming Buyer as “Secured Party”,
Seller as “Debtor” and
describing the Purchased Items, in the jurisdiction and recording office listed
on Exhibit XI
attached hereto, the security interests granted hereunder in that portion of the
Purchased Items which can be perfected by filing under the Uniform Commercial
Code will constitute fully perfected security interests under the Uniform
Commercial Code in all right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under such
Purchased Items.
(F) Upon
execution and delivery of the Depository Agreement, Buyer shall either be the
owner of, or have a valid and fully perfected first priority security interest
in, the “investment property” and all “deposit accounts” (each as defined in the
Uniform Commercial Code) comprising Purchased Items or any after-acquired
property related to such Purchased Items. Except to the extent
disclosed in a Requested Exceptions Report, Seller or its designee is in
possession of a complete, true and accurate Purchased Asset File with respect to
each Purchased Asset, except for such documents the originals of which have been
delivered to the Custodian.
(xi) Adequate Capitalization; No
Fraudulent Transfer. Seller has, as of such Purchase Date,
adequate capital for the normal obligations foreseeable in a business of its
size and character and in light of its contemplated business
operations. Seller is generally able to pay, and as of the date
hereof is paying, its debts as they come due. Seller has not become,
or is presently, financially insolvent nor will Seller be made insolvent by
virtue of Seller’s execution of or performance under any of the Transaction
Documents within the meaning of the bankruptcy laws or the insolvency laws of
any jurisdiction. Seller has not entered into any Transaction
Document or any Transaction pursuant thereto in contemplation of insolvency or
with intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor.
45
(xii) No Conflicts or
Consents. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents by Seller, nor the consummation of any of
the transactions by it herein or therein contemplated, nor compliance with the
terms and provisions hereof or with the terms and provisions thereof, will
contravene or conflict with or result in the creation or imposition of (or the
obligation to create or impose) any lien upon any of the property or assets of
Seller pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or other
agreement or instrument to which Seller is a party or by which Seller may be
bound, or to which Seller may be subject, other than liens created pursuant to
the Transaction Documents. No consent, approval, authorization, or
order of any third party is required in connection with the execution and
delivery by Seller of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party or to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby which has not already
been obtained.
(xiii) Governmental
Approvals. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization
or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by,
any Governmental Authority is required to authorize, or is required in
connection with, the execution, delivery and performance of any Transaction
Document to which Seller is or will be a party, (ii) the legality, validity,
binding effect or enforceability of any such Transaction Document against Seller
or (iii) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
(other than the filing of certain financing statements in respect of certain
security interests).
(xiv) Organizational
Documents. Seller has delivered to Buyer certified copies of
its organization documents, together with all amendments thereto, if
any.
(xv) No
Encumbrances. There are (i) no outstanding rights, options,
warrants or agreements on the part of Seller for a purchase, sale or issuance,
in connection with the Purchased Assets, (ii) no agreements on the part of
Seller to issue, sell or distribute the Purchased Assets, and (iii) no
obligations on the part of Seller (contingent or otherwise) to purchase, redeem
or otherwise acquire any securities or interest therein, except as contemplated
by the Transaction Documents.
(xvi) Federal
Regulations. Seller is not required to register as an
“investment company,” or a company “controlled by an investment company,” within
the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Seller
is not a “holding company,” or a “subsidiary company of a holding company,” or

holding company,” as such terms are defined in the Public Utility Holding
Company Act of 2005, as amended.

Seller, would be delinquent if they had not been filed on or before the date

property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it and any of its

(xix) Solvency. Neither
the Transaction Documents nor any Transaction thereunder are entered into in
contemplation of insolvency or with intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of
Seller’s creditors. The transfer of the Purchased Assets subject
hereto and the obligation to repurchase such Purchased Assets is not undertaken
with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of Seller’s
creditors. As of the Purchase Date, Seller is not insolvent within
the meaning of 11 U.S.C. Section 101(32) or any successor provision thereof and
the transfer and sale of the Purchased Assets pursuant hereto and the obligation
to repurchase such Purchased Asset (i) will not cause the liabilities of Seller
to exceed the assets of Seller, (ii) will not result in Seller having
unreasonably small capital, and (iii) will not result in debts that would be
beyond Seller’s ability to pay as the same mature. No petition in
bankruptcy has been filed against Seller in the last ten (10) years, and Seller
has not in the last ten (10) years made an assignment for the benefit of
creditors or taken advantage of any debtors relief laws. Seller has
only entered into agreements on terms that would be considered arm’s length and

situated entities. On the Purchase Date for each Transaction, the
Buyer shall be deemed to repeat all of the foregoing representations made by
it.
(xx) Use of Proceeds; Margin
Regulations. All proceeds of each Transaction shall be used by
Seller for purposes permitted under Seller’s governing documents, provided that no part
of the proceeds of any Transaction will be used by Seller to purchase or carry
any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or
carrying any margin stock. Neither the entering into of any
Transaction nor the use of any proceeds thereof will violate, or be inconsistent
with, any provision of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System.
(xxi) Full and Accurate
Disclosure. No information contained in the Transaction
Documents, or any written statement furnished by or on behalf of Seller pursuant
to the terms of the Transaction Documents, contains any untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under
which they were made.
(xxii) Financial
Information. All financial data concerning Seller and the
Purchased Assets that has been delivered by or on behalf of Seller to Buyer is
true, complete and correct in all material respects. All financial
data concerning Seller has been prepared fairly in accordance with
GAAP. All financial data concerning the Purchased Assets has been
prepared in accordance with standard industry practices. Since the
delivery of such data, except as otherwise disclosed in writing to Buyer, there
has been no change in the financial position of Seller or the Purchased Assets,
or in the results of operations of Seller, which change is reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect on Seller.
47

Purchase Date for any Purchased Asset that is subject to a Hedging Transaction,
each such Hedging Transaction is in full force and effect in accordance with its

Agreements. Seller has delivered to Buyer all Servicing
Agreements pertaining to the Purchased Assets and to the actual knowledge of
Seller, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Purchase Date for the
purchase of any Purchased Assets subject to a Servicing Agreement, each such

no default or event of default exists thereunder.
(xxv) No
Reliance. Seller has made its own independent decisions to
enter into the Transaction Documents and each Transaction and as to whether such
Transaction is appropriate and proper for it based upon its own judgment and
upon advice from such advisors (including without limitation, legal counsel and
accountants) as it has deemed necessary. Seller is not relying upon
any advice from Buyer as to any aspect of the Transactions, including without
limitation, the legal, accounting or tax treatment of such
Transactions.

relating thereto, and (ii) the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing
Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA Patriot Act
of 2001). No part of the proceeds of any Transaction will be used,
directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or
employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for
political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to
obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation
of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as
amended.

counsel concerning matters relating to this Agreement as Buyer may reasonably
request; provided, however, that nothing

warranties or covenants hereunder. In order to enable Buyer and its
Affiliates to comply with any anti-money laundering program and related
responsibilities including, but not limited to, any obligations under the USA
Patriot Act of 2001 and regulations thereunder, Seller on behalf of itself and
its Affiliates makes the following representations and covenants to Buyer and
its Affiliates (for purposes of this Section 9(b)(xxvi),
the “Seller

which to complete such cure.
(b) After
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Seller
hereby appoints Buyer as attorney-in-fact of such Seller for the purpose of
carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and
executing or endorsing any instruments that Buyer may deem necessary or
advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as
attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. If an
Event of Default shall occur and be continuing with respect to such Seller, the
following rights and remedies shall be available to Buyer:
(i) At
the option of Buyer, exercised by written notice to such Seller (which option
shall be deemed to have been exercised, even if no notice is given, immediately
upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency with respect to such Seller), the
Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already
occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (the date on which such option is
exercised or deemed to have been exercised being referred to hereinafter as the
“Accelerated
Repurchase Date”).
(ii) If
Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in Article 13(b)(i) of
this Agreement:
(A) each
Seller’s obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Assets shall become
immediately due and payable on and as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date;
and
(B) to
the extent permitted by applicable law, the Repurchase Price with respect to
each Transaction (determined as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date) shall be
increased by the aggregate amount obtained by daily application of, on a 360 day
per year basis for the actual number of days during the period from and
including the Accelerated Repurchase Date to but excluding the date of payment
of the Repurchase Price (as so increased), (x) the Pricing Rate for such
Transaction multiplied by (y) the Repurchase Price for such Transaction
(decreased by (I) any amounts actually remitted to Buyer by the Depository or
each Seller from time to time pursuant to Article 5 of this
Agreement and applied to such Repurchase Price, and (II) any amounts applied to
the Repurchase Price pursuant to Article 13(b)(iii) of
this Agreement); and
59
(C) the
Custodian shall, upon the request of Buyer, deliver to Buyer all instruments,
certificates and other documents then held by the Custodian relating to the
Purchased Assets.
(iii) Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to a Seller, Buyer may (A)
immediately sell, at a public or private sale in a commercially reasonable
manner and at such price or prices as Buyer may deem satisfactory any or all of
the Purchased Assets, and/or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of
selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to give Sellers credit for
such Purchased Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of such Purchased
Assets against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price for such Purchased Assets
and any other amounts owing by Sellers under the Transaction
Documents. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets
effected pursuant to this Article 13(b)(iii)
shall be applied, (u) first, to the costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in
connection with such Seller’s default; (v) second, to consequential damages,
including, but not limited to, costs of cover and/or Hedging Transactions, if
any; (w) third, to the Repurchase Price; (x) fourth, to any Breakage Costs or
any other outstanding obligation of Sellers to Buyer; and (y) fifth, to return
any excess to Sellers.
(iv) The
parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the
Purchased Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same
purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Assets
may not be liquid. In view of the nature of the Purchased Assets, the
parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or the Purchased Assets does not
require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale
shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable
manner. Accordingly, Buyer may elect, in its sole discretion, the
time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Assets, and nothing contained
herein shall (A) obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Assets on the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or to liquidate all
of the Purchased Assets in the same manner or on the same Business Day or (B)
constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer.
(v) Each
Seller shall be liable to Buyer and its Affiliates and shall indemnify Buyer and
its Affiliates for (A) the amount of all actual out-of-pocket expenses,
including reasonable legal fees and expenses, actually incurred by Buyer in
connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default with respect to
Seller and (B) all costs incurred by Buyer in connection with Hedging
Transactions in the event that such Seller, from and after an Event of Default,
takes any action to impede or otherwise affect Buyer’s remedies under this
Agreement.
60
(vi) Buyer
shall have, in addition to its rights and remedies under the Transaction
Documents, all of the rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state,
foreign (where relevant), and local laws (including, without limitation, if the
Transactions are recharacterized as secured financings, the rights and remedies
of a secured party under the UCC of the State of New York, to the extent that
the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), in
equity, and under any other agreement between Buyer and each
Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall
be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets
against all of such Seller’s obligations to Buyer under this Agreement, without
prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency.
(vii) Subject
to the notice and cure periods set forth herein, Buyer may exercise any or all
of the remedies available to Buyer immediately upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default with respect to any Seller and at any time during the continuance
thereof. All rights and remedies arising under the Transaction
Documents, as amended from time to time, are cumulative and not exclusive of any
other rights or remedies that Buyer may have.
(viii) Buyer
may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or
hearing, and each Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses such Seller might
otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial
process. Each Seller also waives, to the extent permitted by law, any
defense such Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial
process, disposition of any or all of the Purchased Assets, or from any other
election of remedies. Each Seller 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.

NON-ASSIGNABILITY
(a) Subject
to Article
18(b) below, Sellers may not assign any of their respective rights or
obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Buyer (not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and any attempt by a Seller to assign
any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written
consent of Buyer shall be null and void. Buyer may, without consent
of either Seller, sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other
entities (“Participants”)
participating interests in any Transaction, its interest in the Purchased
Assets, or any other interest of Buyer under this Agreement. Buyer
may, at any time and from time to time, assign to any Person (an “Assignee” and
together with Participants, each a “Transferee” and
collectively, the “Transferees”) all or
any part of its rights its interest in the Purchased Assets, or any other
interest of Buyer under this Agreement. Each Seller agrees to
cooperate with Buyer in connection with any such assignment, transfer or sale of
participating interest and to enter into such restatements of, and amendments,
supplements and other modifications to, this Agreement in order to give effect
to such assignment, transfer or sale.
(b) Title

this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions
with the Purchased Assets and Purchased Items or otherwise selling, pledging,
repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Purchased Assets
and Purchased Items, all on terms that Buyer may determine in its sole
discretion; provided, however, that Buyer
shall (i) transfer the Purchased Assets to the applicable Seller on the
applicable Repurchase Date free and clear of any pledge, lien, security
interest, encumbrance, charge or other adverse claim on any of the Purchased
Assets and (ii) credit Income and Principal Payments to the applicable Seller in

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

USE
OF EMPLOYEE PLAN ASSETS
(a) If
assets of an employee benefit plan subject to any provision of ERISA are intended to
be used by either party hereto (the “Plan Party”) in a
Transaction, the Plan Party shall so notify the other party prior to the
Transaction. The Plan Party shall represent in writing to the other
party that the Transaction does not constitute a prohibited transaction under
ERISA or is otherwise exempt therefrom, and the other party may proceed in
reliance thereon but shall not be required so to proceed.
(b) Subject
to the last sentence of subparagraph (a) of this Article 21, any such
Transaction shall proceed only if each Seller furnishes or has furnished to
Buyer its most recent available audited statement of its financial condition and
its most recent subsequent unaudited statement of its financial
condition.
(c) By
entering into a Transaction, pursuant to this Article 21, each
Seller shall be deemed (i) to represent to Buyer that since the date of such
Seller’s latest such financial statements, there has been no material adverse
change in such Seller’s financial condition that such Seller has not disclosed
to Buyer, and (ii) to agree to provide Buyer with future audited and unaudited
statements of its financial condition as they are issued, so long as it is such
Seller in any outstanding Transaction involving a Plan Party.
ARTICLE
22.
INTENT
(a) The
parties recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term
is defined in Section 101(47) of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended
(except insofar as the type of Assets subject to such Transaction or the term of
such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable), and a “securities
contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United
States Code, as amended (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such
Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).
64
(b) It
is understood that either party’s right to liquidate Assets delivered to it in
connection with Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies
pursuant to Article
13 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate such Transaction as
described in Sections 555, 559 and 561 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as
amended.
(c) The
parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository
institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as
amended (“FDIA”), then each
Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term is
defined in the FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder
(except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render
such definition inapplicable).
(d) It
is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in
and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement
Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each
payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall
constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual
payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except
insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial
institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA).
(e) It
is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “master netting agreement” as
defined in Section 101(38A) of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended,
and as used in Section 561 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as
amended.
(f) It
is the intention of the parties that, for U.S. Federal, state and local income
and franchise tax purposes and for accounting purposes, each Transaction
constitute a financing, and that Sellers be (except to the extent that Buyer
shall have exercised its remedies following an Event of Default) the owner of
the Purchased Assets for such purposes. Unless prohibited by
applicable law, Sellers and Buyer agree to treat the Transactions as described
in the preceding sentence on any and all filings with any U.S. Federal, state,
or local taxing authority.

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 Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under Section
15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”), the
Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the
provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (“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
65
(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.

CONSENT
TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
(a) Each
party irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submits to the non-exclusive

Agreement or relating in any way to this Agreement or any Transaction under this

the extent that either party has or hereafter may acquire any immunity
(sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from
jurisdiction of any court or from set off or any legal process (whether service
or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of
judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of
its property, such party hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or
claim such immunity in respect of any action brought to enforce its obligations
under this Agreement or relating in any way to this Agreement or any Transaction
under this Agreement.
(c) The
parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent it may effectively do
so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding and irrevocably consent to the service of any summons and complaint
and any other process by the mailing of copies of such process to them at their
respective address specified herein. The parties hereby agree that a
final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by law. Nothing in this Article 24 shall
affect the right of Buyer to serve legal process in any other manner permitted
by law or affect the right of Buyer to bring any action or proceeding against
each Seller or its property in the courts of other jurisdictions.
(d) EACH
OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY

Buyer with respect to the Purchased Assets during the term of this Agreement,
which shall be paid by such Seller to Buyer within five (5) days after receipt
of an invoice therefor. Each Seller also shall make available to
Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of
answering questions respecting the Purchased Asset Files and the Purchased
Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Seller
acknowledges that Buyer may enter into Transactions with such Seller based
solely upon the information provided by such Seller to Buyer 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. Buyer may
underwrite such Purchased Assets itself or engage a third party underwriter to
perform such underwriting. Each 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 in the possession, or under the control, of
such Seller. Each Seller further agrees that such Seller shall
reimburse Buyer for any and all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses
incurred by Buyer in connection with continuing due diligence on Eligible Assets
and Purchased Assets.

SERVICING
(a) Notwithstanding
the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets hereby, Sellers, Servicer or a
third party servicer approved by Buyer shall service the Purchased Assets that
are Eligible Loans (such Purchased Assets, “Serviced Assets”) for
the benefit of Buyer and, if Buyer shall exercise its rights to pledge or
hypothecate the Serviced Assets prior to the Repurchase Date pursuant to Article 8, for the
benefit of Buyer’s assigns. Sellers shall service or cause Servicer
to service the Serviced Assets at Sellers’ sole cost and for the benefit of
Buyer in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices approved by Buyer in the
exercise of its reasonable business judgment and maintained by other prudent
mortgage or mezzanine lenders with respect to mortgage and/or mezzanine loans
similar to the Serviced Assets, provided, however, that the
obligations of Sellers to service any of the Serviced Assets shall cease, at
Buyer’s option, upon the earliest of (i) an Event of Default, or (ii) the
delivery by Buyer to Sellers of at least five (5) days’ prior written notice of
the decision by Buyer to transfer the servicing rights of any or all of the
Serviced Assets to either Servicer or another third party servicer selected by
Buyer. In either case, Sellers shall take all actions necessary to
effectuate the underlying servicing transfer as expeditiously as
possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Sellers nor Servicer
shall take any action or effect any modification or amendment to any Purchased
Asset without first having given prior notice thereof to Buyer in each such
instance and receiving the prior written consent of Buyer.
(b) Each
Seller agrees that Buyer is the owner of all servicing records, including but
not limited to any and all servicing agreements and pooling and servicing
agreements (including, without limitation any “Interim Servicing Agreement” with
Servicer) (collectively, the “Servicing
Agreements”), files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes,
copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies,
appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other
records relating to or evidencing the servicing of Purchased Assets (the “Servicing Records”)
so long as the Purchased Assets are subject to this Agreement. Each
Seller grants Buyer a security interest in all servicing fees and rights
relating to the Purchased Assets and all Servicing Records to secure the
obligation of such Seller or its designee to service in conformity with this
Article 28 and
any other obligation of such Seller to Buyer. Each Seller covenants
to safeguard such Servicing Records and to deliver them promptly to Buyer or its
designee (including the Custodian) at Buyer’s request.
69
(c) Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer may, in
its sole discretion, (i) sell its right to the Purchased Assets on a servicing
released basis or (ii) terminate any Seller, Servicer or any sub-servicer of the
Purchased Assets with or without cause, in each case without payment of any
termination fee.
(d) Neither
Seller shall employ sub-servicers to service the Purchased Assets without the
prior written approval of Buyer. If the Purchased Assets are serviced
by a sub-servicer, the applicable Seller shall, irrevocably assign all rights,
title and interest (if any) in the Servicing Agreements in the Purchased Assets
to Buyer.
(e) Each
Seller shall cause all servicers (other than Servicer) and sub-servicers engaged
by such Seller to execute a Servicer Notice with Buyer acknowledging Buyer’s
security interest and agreeing that each servicer and/or sub-servicer shall
immediately transfer all Income with respect to the Purchased Assets to Servicer
for deposit into the Collection Account, and so long as a Purchased Asset is
subject to a Transaction, following notice from Buyer to such Seller of an Event
of Default under this Agreement, each such servicer or sub-servicer shall take
no action under this Agreement with regard to such Purchased Asset other than as
specifically directed by Buyer.
(f) The
payment of servicing fees shall be subordinate to payment of amounts outstanding
under any Transaction and this Agreement.
(g) For
the avoidance of doubt, no Seller retains economic rights to the servicing,
other than such Seller’s rights under the Servicing Agreement or any other
servicing agreement related to the Purchased Assets. As such, each
Seller expressly acknowledges that the Purchased Assets are sold to Buyer on a
“servicing released” basis with such servicing retained by the
Servicer.
ARTICLE
29.
MISCELLANEOUS
(a) All
rights, remedies and powers of Buyer hereunder and in connection herewith are
irrevocable and cumulative, and not alternative or exclusive, and shall be in
addition to all other rights, remedies and powers of Buyer whether under law,
equity or agreement. In addition to the rights and remedies granted
to it in this Agreement, to the extent this Agreement is determined to create a
security interest, Buyer shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party
under the UCC.
(b) The
Transaction Documents may be executed in counterparts, each of which so executed
shall be deemed to be an original, but all of such counterparts shall together
constitute but one and the same instrument.
70
(c) The
headings in the Transaction Documents are for convenience of reference only and
shall not affect the interpretation or construction of the Transaction
Documents.
(d) Without
limiting the rights and remedies of Buyer under the Transaction Documents, each
Seller shall pay Buyer’s reasonable actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses,
including reasonable fees and expenses of accountants, attorneys and advisors,
incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and
consummation of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, the
Transaction Documents and the Transactions thereunder, whether or not such
Transaction Document (or amendment thereto) or Transaction is ultimately
consummated. Each Seller agrees to pay Buyer on demand all costs and
expenses (including reasonable expenses for legal services of every kind) of any
subsequent enforcement of any of the provisions hereof, or of the performance by
Buyer of any obligations of any Seller in respect of the Purchased Assets, or
any actual or attempted sale, or any exchange, enforcement, collection,
compromise or settlement in respect of any of the Collateral or Purchased Items
and for the custody, care or preservation of the Collateral or Purchased Items
(including insurance costs) and defending or asserting rights and claims of
Buyer in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise. In addition,
each Seller agrees to pay Buyer on demand all reasonable costs and expenses
(including reasonable expenses for legal services) incurred in connection with
the maintenance of the Depository Account and registering the Collateral and
Purchased Items in the name of Buyer or its nominee. All such
expenses shall be recourse obligations of each Seller to Buyer under this
Agreement.
(e) In
addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or
otherwise, and not by way of limitation of such rights, each Seller hereby
grants to Buyer and its Affiliates a right of offset, to secure repayment of all
amounts owing to Buyer or its Affiliates by each Seller under the Transaction
Documents, upon any and all monies, securities, collateral or other property of
each Seller and the proceeds therefrom, now or hereafter held or received by
Buyer or its Affiliates or any entity under the control of Buyer or its
Affiliates and its respective successors and assigns (including, without
limitation, branches and agencies of Buyer, wherever located), for the account
of each Seller, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission,
collection, or otherwise, and also upon any and all deposits (general or
specified) and credits of each Seller at any time existing. Buyer and
its Affiliates are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice to
any Seller, to offset, appropriate, apply and enforce such right of offset
against any and all items hereinabove referred to against any amounts owing to
Buyer or its Affiliates by any Seller thereof under the Transaction Documents or
any other agreement, irrespective of whether Buyer or its Affiliates shall have
made any demand hereunder and although such amounts, or any of them, shall be
contingent or unmatured and regardless of any other collateral securing such
amounts. Each Seller shall be deemed directly indebted to Buyer and
its Affiliates in the full amount of all amounts owing to Buyer and its
Affiliates by such Seller under the Transaction Documents or any other
agreement, and Buyer and its Affiliates shall be entitled to exercise the rights
of offset provided for above. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BUYER OR
ITS AFFILIATES TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER
COLLATERAL OR PURCHASED ITEMS THAT SECURE THE AMOUNTS OWING TO BUYER OR ITS
AFFILIATES BY ANY SELLER UNDER THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING
THEIR RIGHT OF OFFSET WITH RESPECT TO SUCH MONIES, SECURITIES, COLLATERAL,
DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF ANY SELLER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED BY EACH SELLER.
71
(f) Each
provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be
effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement
shall be prohibited by or be invalid under such law, such provision shall be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this
Agreement.
(g) This
Agreement contains a final and complete integration of all prior expressions by
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and shall
constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to such subject
matter, superseding all prior oral or written understandings.
(h) The
parties understand that this Agreement is a legally binding agreement that may
affect such party’s rights. Each party represents to the other that
it has received legal advice from counsel of its choice regarding the meaning
and legal significance of this Agreement and that it is satisfied with its legal
counsel and the advice received from it.
(i) Should
any provision of this Agreement require judicial interpretation, it is agreed
that a court interpreting or construing the same shall not apply a presumption
that the terms hereof shall be more strictly construed against any Person by
reason of the rule of construction that a document is to be construed more
strictly against the Person who itself or through its agent prepared the same,
it being agreed that all parties have participated in the preparation of this
Agreement.
(j) Wherever
pursuant to this Agreement, Buyer exercises any right given to it to consent or
not consent, or to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be
satisfactory to, Buyer in its sole discretion, Buyer shall decide to consent or
not consent, or to approve or disapprove or to decide that arrangements or terms
are satisfactory or not satisfactory, in its sole and absolute discretion and
such decision by Buyer shall be final and conclusive.
(k) Each
Affiliated Hedge Counterparty is an intended third party beneficiary of this
Agreement and the parties hereto agree that this Agreement shall not be amended
or otherwise modified without the written consent of each Affiliated Hedge
Counterparty, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
ARTICLE
30.
JOINT
AND SEVERAL LIABILITY
(a) Each
Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Seller shall be jointly and
severally liable to Buyer to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law for
all representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and indemnities of all
of Sellers hereunder.
72
(b) Each
Seller hereby agrees that, to the extent another Seller shall have paid more
than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, the appropriate
Seller shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any
other Seller which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment; provided however, that the
provisions of this clause shall in no respect limit the obligations and
liabilities of any Seller to Buyer, and, notwithstanding any payment or payments
made by any Seller (“Paying Seller”)
hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of Paying Seller by Buyer,
Paying Seller shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of
Buyer against any other Seller or any collateral security or guarantee or right
of offset held by Buyer, nor shall Paying Seller seek or be entitled to seek any
contribution or reimbursement from the other Sellers in respect of payments made
by Paying Seller hereunder, until all amounts owing to Buyer by Sellers under
the Repurchase Documents are paid in full. If any amount shall be
paid to Paying Seller on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all
such amounts shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by
Paying Seller in trust for Buyer, segregated from other funds of Paying Seller,
and shall, forthwith upon receipt by Paying Seller, be turned over to Buyer in
the exact form received by Paying Seller (duly indorsed by the paying Seller to
Buyer, if required), to be applied against amounts owing to Buyer by Sellers
under the Repurchase Documents, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as
Buyer may determine.
(c) Each
Seller shall remain obligated under this Article 30
notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Seller and
without notice to or further assent by any Seller, any demand by Buyer for
payment of any amounts owing to Buyer by any other Seller under the Repurchase
Documents may be rescinded by Buyer and any the payment of any such amounts may
be continued, and the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof,
or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect
thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended,
amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by
Buyer, and this Agreement and the other Repurchase Documents and any other
documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended,
modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as Buyer may deem
advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of
offset at any time held by Buyer for the payment of amounts owing to Buyer by
Sellers under the Repurchase Documents may be sold, exchanged, waived,
surrendered or released. Buyer shall not have any obligation to
protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security
for amounts owing to Buyer by Sellers under the Repurchase Documents, or any
property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against
any Seller, Buyer may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar
demand on any other Seller, and any failure by Buyer to make any such demand or
to collect any payments from any other Seller, or any release of such other
Seller shall not relieve any Seller in respect of which a demand or collection
is not made or Sellers not so released of their obligations or liabilities
hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or
implied, or as a matter of law, of the Buyer against Sellers. For the
purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any
legal proceedings.
73
(d) Each
Seller waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual
of any amounts at any time owing to Buyer by any other Seller under the
Repurchase Documents and notice of or proof of reliance by Buyer upon any Seller
or acceptance of the obligations of any Seller under this Article 30, and all
such amounts, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been
created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in
reliance upon the obligations of Sellers under this Article 30; and all
dealings between Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand,
likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in
reliance upon the obligations of Sellers under this Article
30. Each Seller waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand
for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any Seller with
respect to any amounts at any time owing to Buyer by any Seller under the
Repurchase Documents, other than such notices as are expressly required to be
given under this Agreement or any of the other Repurchase
Documents. Each Seller understands and agrees that it shall continue
to be liable under this Article 30 without
regard to (a) the validity, regularity or enforceability of any other provision
of this Agreement or any other Repurchase Document, any amounts at any time
owing to Buyer by Sellers under the Repurchase Documents, or any other
collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect
thereto at any time or from time to time held by Buyer, (b) any defense, set-off
or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at
any time be available to or be asserted by any Seller against Buyer, or (c) any
other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of
Sellers) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or
legal discharge of Sellers for any amounts owing to Buyer by Sellers under the
Repurchase Documents, or of Sellers under this Agreement, in bankruptcy or in
any other instance. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder
against any Seller, Buyer may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such
rights and remedies as it may have against any Seller or any other Person or
against any collateral security or guarantee related thereto 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 any Seller or any such other
Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to
exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any Seller or any such
other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset,
shall not relieve any Seller 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 any Seller.
(e) Anything
herein or in any other Repurchase Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the
maximum liability of any Seller hereunder in respect of the liabilities of the
other Sellers under this Agreement and the other Repurchase Documents shall in
no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by each Seller under
applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of
debtors.

REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES
REGARDING
EACH INDIVIDUAL PURCHASED ASSET
THAT
IS A WHOLE MORTGAGE LOAN, A-NOTE OR
SENIOR
PARTICIPATION
INTEREST
(a) As
applicable, each Purchased Asset is either a whole loan and not a participation
interest in a whole loan, a senior participation interest in a whole loan, or an
A-Note interest in a whole loan. The sale of the Purchased Assets to
Buyer or its designee does not require Seller to obtain any governmental or
regulatory approval or consent that has not been obtained.
(b) No
Purchased Asset is 30 days or more delinquent in payment of principal and
interest (without giving effect to any applicable grace period) and no Purchased
Asset has been 30 days or more (without giving effect to any applicable grace
period in the related Mortgage Note) past due.
(c) Except
with respect to the ARD Loans, which provide that the rate at which interest
accrues thereon increases after the Anticipated Repayment Date, the Purchased
Assets (exclusive of any default interest, late charges or prepayment premiums)
are fixed rate mortgage loans or floating rate mortgage loans with terms to
maturity, at origination or as of the most recent modification, as set forth in
the Purchased Asset Schedule.
(d) The
information pertaining to each Purchased Asset set forth on the Purchased Asset
Schedule is true and correct in all material respects as of the Purchase
Date.
(e) At
the time of the assignment of the Purchased Assets to Buyer, Seller had good and
marketable title to and was the sole owner and holder of, each Purchased Asset,
free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest and such
assignment validly and effectively transfers and conveys all legal and
beneficial ownership of the Purchased Assets to Buyer free and clear of any
pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest, subject to the rights and
obligations of Seller pursuant to the Agreement.
(f) In
respect of each Purchased Asset, (A) the related Mortgagor is an entity
organized under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the
District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and (B) the Mortgagor is
not a debtor in any bankruptcy, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization,
insolvency, moratorium or similar proceeding.
(g) Each
Purchased Asset is secured by (or in the case of a Participation, the Underlying
Mortgage Loan is secured by) a Mortgage that establishes and creates a valid and
subsisting first priority lien on the related underlying real estate directly or
indirectly securing or supporting such Purchased Asset, or leasehold interest
therein, comprising real estate (the “Mortgaged Property”),
free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances, participation interests,
pledges, charges or security interests subject only to Permitted
Encumbrances. Such Mortgage, together with any separate security
agreement, UCC financing statement or similar agreement, if any, establishes and
creates a first priority security interest in favor of Seller in all personal
property owned by the Mortgagor that is used in, and is reasonably necessary to,
the operation of the related Mortgaged Property and, to the extent a security
interest may be created therein and perfected by the filing of a UCC financing
statement under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the relevant
jurisdiction, the proceeds arising from the Mortgaged Property and other
collateral securing such Purchased Asset, subject only to Permitted
Encumbrances. There exists with respect to such Mortgaged Property an
assignment of leases and rents provision, either as part of the related Mortgage
or as a separate document or instrument, which establishes and creates a first
priority security interest in and to leases and rents arising in respect of the
related Mortgaged Property subject only to Permitted Encumbrances. No
person other than the related Mortgagor and the mortgagee owns any interest in
any payments due under the related leases. The related Mortgage or
such assignment of leases and rents provision provides for the appointment of a
receiver for rents or allows the holder of the related Mortgage to enter into
possession of the related Mortgaged Property to collect rent or provides for
rents to be paid directly to the holder of the related Mortgage in the event of
a default beyond applicable notice and grace periods, if any, under the related
Purchased Asset Documents. As of the origination date, there are no
mechanics’ or other similar liens or claims that have been filed for work, labor
or materials affecting the related Mortgaged Property that are or may be prior
or equal to the lien of the Mortgage, except those that are insured against
pursuant to the applicable Title Insurance Policy (as defined
below). As of the Purchase Date, there are no mechanics’ or other
similar liens or claims that have been filed for work, labor or materials
affecting the related Mortgaged Property that are or may be prior or equal in
priority to the lien of the Mortgage, except those that are insured against
pursuant to the applicable Title Policy (as defined below). No
(a) Mortgaged Property secures any mortgage loan not represented on the
Purchased Asset Schedule, (b) Purchased Asset is cross-defaulted with any other
mortgage loan, other than a Mortgage Loan listed on the Purchased Asset
Schedule, or (c) Purchased Asset is secured by property that is not a Mortgaged
Property.
(h) The
related Mortgagor under each Purchased Asset has good and indefeasible fee
simple or, with respect to those Purchased Assets described in clause (cc)
hereof, leasehold title to the related Mortgaged Property comprising real estate
subject to any Permitted Encumbrances.
(i) Seller
has received an American Land Title Association (ALTA) lender’s title insurance
policy or a comparable form of lender’s title insurance policy (or escrow
instructions binding on the Title Insurer (as defined below) and irrevocably
obligating the Title Insurer to issue such title insurance policy, a title
policy commitment or pro-forma “marked up” at the closing of the related
Purchased Asset and countersigned by the Title Insurer or its authorized agent)
as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction (the “Title Policy”), which
was issued by a nationally recognized title insurance company (the “Title Insurer”)
qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the applicable Mortgaged
Property is located, covering the portion of each Mortgaged Property comprised
of real estate and insuring that the related Mortgage is a valid first lien in
the original principal amount of the related Purchased Asset on the Mortgagor’s
fee simple interest (or, if applicable, leasehold interest) in such Mortgaged
Property comprised of real estate subject only to Permitted
Encumbrances. Such Title Policy was issued in connection with the
origination of the related Purchased Asset. No claims have been made
under such Title Policy. Such Title Policy is in full force and
effect and all premiums thereon have been paid and will provide that the insured
includes the owner of the Purchased Asset and its successors and/or
assigns. No holder of the related Mortgage has done, by act or
omission, anything that would, and Seller has no actual knowledge of any other
circumstance that would, impair the coverage under such Title
Policy.
-2-
(j) The
related Assignment of Mortgage and the related assignment of the Assignment of
Leases and Rents executed in connection with each Mortgage, if any, have been
recorded in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if not recorded, have been
submitted for recording or are in recordable form) and constitute the legal,
valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage and the related assignment of
leases and rents from Seller to Buyer. The endorsement of the related
Mortgage Note by Seller constitutes the legal, valid, binding and enforceable
(except as such enforcement may be limited by anti-deficiency laws or
bankruptcy, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, insolvency,
moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such
enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law)) assignment of
such Mortgage Note, and together with such Assignment of Mortgage and the
related assignment of assignment of leases and rents, legally and validly
conveys all right, title and interest in such Purchased Asset and (except in the
case of an A Note or a Participation) the Purchased Asset Documents to
Buyer.
(k) The
Purchased Asset Documents for each Purchased Asset (or in the case of a
Participation, the Underlying Mortgage Loan) provide that such Purchased Asset
(or Underlying Mortgage Loan) is non-recourse except that the related Mortgagor
and at least one individual or entity shall be fully liable for actual losses,
liabilities, costs and damages arising from at least the following acts of the
related Mortgagor and/or its principals: (i) fraud or material
misrepresentation, (ii) misapplication or misappropriation of rents, insurance
proceeds or condemnation awards, (iii) any act of actual waste, and (iv) any
breach of the environmental covenants contained in the related Purchased Asset
Documents.
(l) The
Purchased Asset Documents for each Purchased Asset contain enforceable
provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof
adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the
principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including
realization by judicial or, if applicable, non judicial foreclosure, and there
is no exemption available to the related Mortgagor that would interfere with
such right of foreclosure except (i) any statutory right of redemption or (ii)
any limitation arising under anti deficiency laws or by bankruptcy,
receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by
general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(m) Each
of the related Mortgage Notes and Mortgages are the legal, valid and binding
obligations of the related Mortgagor named on the Purchased Asset Schedule and
each of the other related Purchased Asset Documents is the legal, valid and
binding obligation of the parties thereto (subject to any non recourse
provisions therein), enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforcement may be limited by anti deficiency laws or bankruptcy, receivership,
conservatorship, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law), and except that certain provisions of such
Purchased Asset Documents are or may be unenforceable in whole or in part under
applicable state or federal laws, but the inclusion of such provisions does not
render any of the Purchased Asset Documents invalid as a whole, and such
Purchased Asset Documents taken as a whole are enforceable to the extent
necessary and customary for the practical realization of the principal rights
and benefits afforded thereby.
-3-
(n) The
terms of the Purchased Assets or the related Purchased Asset Documents,
(including, in the case of a Participation, the documents evidencing the
Underlying Mortgage Loan) have not been altered, impaired, modified or waived in
any material respect, except prior to the Purchase Date by written instrument
duly submitted for recordation, to the extent required, and as specifically set
forth by a document in the related Purchased Asset File.
(o) With
respect to each Mortgage that is a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified
under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the
deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with applicable law, and no
fees or expenses are or will become payable to the trustee under the deed of
trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor
other than de minimis
fees paid in connection with the release of the related Mortgaged Property or
related security for such Purchased Asset following payment of such Purchased
Asset in full.
(p) No
Purchased Asset has been satisfied, canceled, subordinated, released or
rescinded, in whole or in part, and the related Mortgagor has not been released,
in whole or in part, from its obligations under any related Purchased Asset
Document.
(q) Except
with respect to the enforceability of any provisions requiring the payment of
default interest, late fees, additional interest, prepayment premiums or yield
maintenance charges, neither the Purchased Asset nor any of the related
Purchased Asset Documents is subject to any right of rescission, set-off,
abatement, diminution, valid counterclaim or defense, including the defense of
usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of any such Purchased Asset
Documents, or the exercise (in compliance with procedures permitted under
applicable law) of any right thereunder, render any Purchased Asset Documents
subject to any right of rescission, set-off, abatement, diminution, valid
counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury (subject to
anti-deficiency or one form of action laws and to bankruptcy, receivership,
conservatorship, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally and by general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law)), and no such right of rescission, set-off,
abatement, diminution, valid counterclaim or defense has been asserted with
respect thereto. None of the Purchased Asset Documents provides for a
release of a portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage
except upon payment or defeasance in full of all obligations under the Mortgage,
provided that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, certain of the Purchased Assets may allow partial
release (a) upon payment or defeasance of an allocated loan amount which may be
formula based, but in no event less than 125% of the allocated loan amount, or
(b) in the event the portion of the Mortgaged Property being released was not
given any material value in connection with the underwriting or appraisal of the
related Purchased Asset.
-4-
(r) As
of the Purchase Date, there is no payment default, giving effect to any
applicable notice and/or grace period, and there is no other material default
under any of the related Purchased Asset Documents, giving effect to any
applicable notice and/or grace period; no such material default or breach has
been waived by Seller or on its behalf or, by Seller’s predecessors in interest
with respect to the Purchased Assets; and no event has occurred that, with the
passing of time or giving of notice would constitute a material default or
breach under the related Purchased Asset Documents. No Purchased
Asset has been accelerated and no foreclosure or power of sale proceeding has
been initiated in respect of the related Mortgage. Seller has not
waived any material claims against the related Mortgagor under any non-recourse
exceptions contained in the Mortgage Note.
(s) The
principal amount of the Purchased Asset stated on the Purchased Asset Schedule
has been fully disbursed as of the Purchase Date (except for certain amounts
that were fully disbursed by the mortgagee, but escrowed pursuant to the terms
of the related Purchased Asset Documents) and there are no future advances
required to be made by the mortgagee under any of the related Purchased Asset
Documents. Any requirements under the related Purchased Asset
Documents regarding the completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and
to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been or are being complied
with or such escrow funds are still being held. The value of the
Mortgaged Property relative to the value reflected in the most recent appraisal
thereof is not materially impaired by any improvements that have not been
completed. Seller has not, nor, have any of its agents or
predecessors in interest with respect to the Purchased Assets, in respect of
such Purchased Asset, directly or indirectly, advanced funds or induced,
solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the
Mortgagor other than (a) interest accruing on such Purchased Asset from the date
of such disbursement of such Purchased Asset to the date which preceded by
thirty (30) days the first payment date under the related Mortgage Note and (b)
application and commitment fees, escrow funds, points and reimbursements for
fees and expenses, incurred in connection with the origination and funding of
the Purchased Asset.
(t) No
Purchased Asset has capitalized interest included in its principal balance, or
provides for any shared appreciation rights or other equity participation
therein and no contingent or additional interest contingent on cash flow or,
except for ARD Loans, negative amortization accrues or is due
thereon.
(u) Each
Purchased Asset identified in the Purchased Asset Schedule as an ARD Loan
substantially fully amortizes over its stated term, which term is at least 60
months after the related Anticipated Repayment Date. Each ARD Loan
has an Anticipated Repayment Date not less than seven years following the
origination of such Purchased Asset. If the related Mortgagor elects
not to prepay its ARD Loan in full on or prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date
pursuant to the existing terms of the Purchased Asset or a unilateral option (as
defined in Treasury Regulations under Article 1001 of the Code) in the Purchased
Asset exercisable during the term of the Mortgage Loan, (i) the Purchased
Asset’s interest rate will step up to an interest rate per annum as specified in
the related Purchased Asset Documents; provided, however, that payment
of such Excess Interest shall be deferred until the principal of such ARD Loan
has been paid in full; (ii) all or a substantial portion of the Excess Cash Flow
collected after the Anticipated Repayment Date shall be applied towards the
prepayment of such ARD Loan and once the principal balance of an ARD Loan has
been reduced to zero all Excess Cash Flow will be applied to the payment of
accrued Excess Interest; and (iii) if the property manager for the related
Mortgaged Property can be removed by or at the direction of the mortgagee on the
basis of a debt service coverage test, the subject debt service coverage ratio
shall be calculated without taking account of any increase in the related
Mortgage Interest Rate on such Purchased Asset’s Anticipated Repayment
Date. No ARD Loan provides that the property manager for the related
Mortgaged Property can be removed by or at the direction of the mortgagee solely
because of the passage of the related Anticipated Repayment Date.
-5-
(v) Each
Purchased Asset identified in the Purchased Asset Schedule as an ARD Loan with a
hard lockbox requires that tenants at the related Mortgaged Property shall (and
each Purchased Asset identified in the Purchased Asset Schedule as an ARD Loan
with a springing lockbox requires that tenants at the related Mortgaged Property
shall, upon the occurrence of a specified trigger event, including, but not
limited to, the occurrence of the related Anticipated Repayment Date) make rent
payments into a lockbox controlled by the holder of the Purchased Asset and to
which the holder of the Purchased Asset has a first perfected security interest;
provided however, with respect
to each ARD Loan that is secured by a multi-family property with a hard lockbox,
or with respect to each ARD Loan that is secured by a multi-family property with
a springing lockbox, upon the occurrence of a specified trigger event,
including, but not limited to, the occurrence of the related Anticipated
Repayment Date, tenants either pay rents to a lockbox controlled by the holder
of the Mortgage Loan or deposit rents with the property manager who will then
deposit the rents into a lockbox controlled by the holder of the Purchased
Asset.
(w) The
terms of the Purchased Asset Documents evidencing such Purchased Asset comply in
all material respects with all applicable local, state and federal laws, and
regulations and Seller has complied with all material requirements pertaining to
the origination, funding and servicing of the Purchased Assets, including but
not limited to, usury and any and all other material requirements of any
federal, state or local law to the extent non-compliance would have a Material
Adverse Effect on the Purchased Asset.
(x) The
related Mortgaged Property is, in all material respects, in compliance with, and
is used and occupied in accordance with, all restrictive covenants of record
applicable to such Mortgaged Property and applicable zoning laws and all
inspections, licenses, permits and certificates of occupancy required by law,
ordinance or regulation to be made or issued with regard to the Mortgaged
Property have been obtained and are in full force and effect, except to the
extent (a) any material non-compliance with applicable zoning laws is insured by
an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy (or binding commitment therefor), or the
equivalent as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction, or a law and ordinance
insurance policy, or (b) the failure to obtain or maintain such inspections,
licenses, permits or certificates of occupancy does not materially impair or
materially and adversely affect the use and/or operation of the Mortgaged
Property as it was used and operated as of the date of origination of the
Purchased Asset or the rights of a holder of the related Purchased
Asset.
(y) All
(a) taxes, water charges, sewer rents, assessments or other similar outstanding
governmental charges and governmental assessments that became due and owing
prior to the Purchase Date in respect of the related Mortgaged Property
(excluding any related personal property), and that if left unpaid, would be, or
might become, a lien on such Mortgaged Property having priority over the related
Mortgage and (b) insurance premiums or ground rents that became due and owing
prior to the Purchase Date in respect of the related Mortgaged Property
(excluding any related personal property), have been paid, or if any such items
are disputed, an escrow of funds in an amount sufficient (together with escrow
payments required to be made prior to delinquency) to cover such taxes and
assessments and any late charges due in connection therewith has been
established. As of the date of origination, the related Mortgaged
Property consisted of one or more separate and complete tax
parcels. For purposes of this representation and warranty, the items
identified herein shall not be considered due and owing until the date on which
interest or penalties would be first payable thereon.
-6-
(z) None
of the improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the
appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination
of such Purchased Asset lies outside the boundaries and building restriction
lines of such Mortgaged Property, except to the extent that they are legally
nonconforming as contemplated by the representation in clause (48) below, and no
improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon such Mortgaged Property, with
the exception in each case of (a) immaterial encroachments that do not
materially adversely affect the security intended to be provided by the related
Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of such Mortgaged
Property or (b) encroachments affirmatively covered by the related Title
Policy. With respect to each Purchased Asset, the property legally
described in the survey, if any, obtained for the related Mortgaged Property for
purposes of the origination thereof is the same as the property legally
described in the Mortgage.
(aa) As
of the date of the applicable engineering report (which was performed within 12
months prior to the Purchase Date) related to the Mortgaged Property and, as of
the Purchase Date, the related Mortgaged Property is either (i) in good repair,
free and clear of any damage that would materially adversely affect the value of
such Mortgaged Property as security for such Purchased Asset or the use and
operation of the Mortgaged Property as it was being used or operated as of the
origination date or (ii) escrows in an amount consistent with the standard
utilized by Seller with respect to similar loans it holds for its own account
have been established, which escrows will in all events be not less than 100% of
the estimated cost of the required repairs. The Mortgaged Property
has not been damaged by fire, wind or other casualty or physical condition
(including, without limitation, any soil erosion or subsidence or geological
condition), which damage has not either been fully repaired or fully insured, or
for which escrows in an amount consistent with the standard utilized by Seller
with respect to loans it holds for its own account have not been
established.
(bb) There
are no proceedings pending or threatened, for the partial or total condemnation
of the relevant Mortgaged Property.
(cc) The
Purchased Assets that are identified as being secured in whole or in part by a
leasehold estate (a “Ground Lease”)
(except with respect to any Purchased Asset also secured by the related fee
interest in the Mortgaged Property), satisfy the following
conditions:
I.
|
such
Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been or will be duly recorded;
such Ground Lease, or other agreement received by the originator of the
Purchased Asset from the ground lessor, provides that the interest of the
lessee thereunder may be encumbered by the related Mortgage and does not
restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its
successors or assigns, in a manner that would materially and adversely
affect the security provided by the Mortgage; as of the date of
origination of the Purchased Asset (or in the case of a Participation, the
Underlying Mortgage Loan), there was no material change of record in the
terms of such Ground Lease with the exception of written instruments that
are part of the related Purchased Asset File and there has been no
material change in the terms of such Ground Lease since the recordation of
the related Purchased Asset, with the exception of written instruments
that are part of the related Purchased Asset
File;
|
-7-
II.
|
such
Ground Lease is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or
of equal priority with, the related Mortgage, other than the related fee
interest and Permitted Encumbrances and such Ground Lease is, and shall
remain, prior to any mortgage or other lien upon the related fee interest
unless a nondisturbance agreement is obtained from the holder of any
mortgage on the fee interest that is assignable to or for the benefit of
the related lessee and the related
mortgagee;
|
III.
|
such
Ground Lease provides that upon foreclosure of the related Mortgage or
assignment of the Mortgagor’s interest in such Ground Lease in lieu
thereof, the mortgagee under such Mortgage is entitled to become the owner
of such interest upon notice to, but without the consent of, the lessor
thereunder and, in the event that such mortgagee becomes the owner of such
interest, such interest is further assignable by such mortgagee and its
successors and assigns upon notice to such lessor, but without a need to
obtain the consent of such lessor;
|
IV.
|
such
Ground Lease is in full force and effect and no default of tenant or
ground lessor was in existence at origination, or is currently in
existence under such Ground Lease, nor at origination was, or is there any
condition that, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, would
result in a default under the terms of such Ground Lease; either such
Ground Lease or a separate agreement contains the ground lessor’s covenant
that it shall not amend, modify, cancel or terminate such Ground Lease
without the prior written consent of the mortgagee under such Mortgage and
any amendment, modification, cancellation or termination of the Ground
Lease without the prior written consent of the related mortgagee, or its
successors or assigns is not binding on such mortgagee, or its successor
or assigns;
|
V.
|
such
Ground Lease or other agreement requires the lessor thereunder to give
written notice of any material default by the lessee to the mortgagee
under the related Mortgage, provided that such mortgagee has provided the
lessor with notice of its lien in accordance with the provisions of such
Ground Lease; and such Ground Lease or other agreement provides that no
such notice of default and no termination of the Ground Lease in
connection with such notice of default shall be effective against such
mortgagee unless such notice of default has been given to such mortgagee
and any related Ground Lease contains the ground lessor’s covenant that it
will give to the related mortgagee, or its successors or assigns, any
notices it sends to the Mortgagor;
|
VI.
|
either
(i) the related ground lessor has subordinated its interest in the related
Mortgaged Property to the interest of the holder of the Purchased Asset
(or in the case of a Participation, the Underlying Mortgage Loan) or (ii)
such Ground Lease or other agreement provides that (A) the mortgagee under
the related Mortgage is permitted a reasonable opportunity to cure any
default under such Ground Lease that is curable, including reasonable time
to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease,
after the receipt of notice of any such default before the lessor
thereunder may terminate such Ground Lease; (B) in the case of any such
default that is not curable by such mortgagee, or in the event of the
bankruptcy or insolvency of the lessee under such Ground Lease, such
mortgagee has the right, following termination of the existing Ground
Lease or rejection thereof by a bankruptcy trustee or similar party, to
enter into a new ground lease with the lessor on substantially the same
terms as the existing Ground Lease; and (C) all rights of the Mortgagor
under such Ground Lease may be exercised by or on behalf of such mortgagee
under the related Mortgage upon foreclosure or assignment in lieu of
foreclosure;
|
-8-
VII.
|
such
Ground Lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more
optional renewal terms that under all circumstances may be exercised, and
will be enforceable, by the mortgagee or its assignee) that extends not
less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity date of the related
Purchased Asset (or in the case of a Participation, of the Underlying
Mortgage Loan);
|
VIII.
|
under
the terms of such Ground Lease and the related Mortgage, taken together,
any related insurance proceeds will be applied either to the repair or
restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with the
mortgagee under such Mortgage or a financially responsible institution
acting as trustee appointed by it, or consented to by it, or by the lessor
having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or
restoration progresses (except in such cases where a provision entitling
another party to hold and disburse such proceeds would not be viewed as
commercially unreasonable by a prudent institutional lender), or to the
payment in whole or in part of the outstanding principal balance of such
Purchased Asset together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon;
and
|
IX.
|
such
Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be
viewed as commercially unreasonable by Seller; such Ground Lease contains
a covenant (or applicable laws provide) that the lessor thereunder is not
permitted, in the absence of an uncured default, to disturb the
possession, interest or quiet enjoyment of any lessee in the relevant
portion of such Mortgaged Property subject to such Ground Lease for any
reason, or in any manner, which would materially adversely affect the
security provided by the related
Mortgage.
|
(dd) An
Environmental Site Assessment relating to each Mortgaged Property and prepared
no earlier than 12 months prior to the Purchase Date was obtained and reviewed
by Seller in connection with the origination of such Purchased Asset and a copy
is included in the Purchased Asset File.
(ee) There
are no adverse circumstances or conditions with respect to or affecting the
Mortgaged Property that would constitute or result in a material violation of
any applicable federal, state or local environmental laws, rules and regulations
(collectively, “Environmental Laws”),
other than with respect to a Mortgaged Property (i) for which environmental
insurance is maintained, or (ii) that would require (x) any expenditure less
than or equal to 5% of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan to
achieve or maintain compliance in all material respects with any Environmental
Laws or (y) any expenditure greater than 5% of the outstanding principal balance
of such Purchased Asset to achieve or maintain compliance in all material
respects with any Environmental Laws for which, in connection with this clause
(y), adequate sums, but in no event less than 125% of the estimated cost as set
forth in the Environmental Site Assessment, were reserved in connection with the
origination of the Purchased Asset and for which the related Mortgagor has
covenanted to perform, or (iii) as to which the related Mortgagor or one of its
affiliates is currently taking or required to take such actions, if any, with
respect to such conditions or circumstances as have been recommended by the
Environmental Site Assessment or required by the applicable Governmental
Authority, or (iv) as to which another responsible party not related to the
Mortgagor with assets reasonably estimated by Seller at the time of origination
to be sufficient to effect all necessary or required remediation identified in a
notice or other action from the applicable Governmental Authority is currently
taking or required to take such actions, if any, with respect to such regulatory
authority’s order or directive, or (v) as to which the conditions or
circumstances identified in the Environmental Site Assessment were investigated
further and based upon such additional investigation, an environmental
consultant recommended no further investigation or remediation, or (vi) as to
which a party with financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to
cure the condition or circumstance that would give rise to such material
violation provided a guarantee or indemnity to the related Mortgagor or to the
mortgagee to cover the costs of any required investigation, testing, monitoring
or remediation, or (vii) as to which the related Mortgagor or other responsible
party obtained a “No Further Action” letter or other evidence reasonably
acceptable to a prudent commercial mortgage lender that applicable federal,
state, or local Governmental Authorities had no current intention of taking any
action, and are not requiring any action, in respect of such condition or
circumstance, or (viii) that would not require substantial cleanup, remedial
action or other extraordinary response under any Environmental Laws reasonably
estimated to cost in excess of 5% of the outstanding principal balance of such
Purchased Asset;
-9-
(ff) Except
for any hazardous materials being handled in accordance with applicable
Environmental Laws, (A) there exists either (i) environmental insurance with
respect to such Mortgaged Property or (ii) an amount in an escrow account
pledged as security for such Purchased Asset under the relevant Purchased Asset
Documents equal to no less than 125% of the amount estimated in such
Environmental Site Assessment as sufficient to pay the cost of such remediation
or other action in accordance with such Environmental Site Assessment or (B) one
of the statements set forth in clause (A)(ii) above is true, (i) such Mortgaged
Property is not being used for the treatment or disposal of hazardous materials;
(ii) no hazardous materials are being used or stored or generated for off-site
disposal or otherwise present at such Mortgaged Property other than hazardous
materials of such types and in such quantities as are customarily used or stored
or generated for off-site disposal or otherwise present in or at properties of
the relevant property type; and (iii) such Mortgaged Property is not subject to
any environmental hazard (including, without limitation, any situation involving
hazardous materials) that under the Environmental Laws would have to be
eliminated before the sale of, or that could otherwise reasonably be expected to
adversely affect in more than a de minimis manner the value
or marketability of, such Mortgaged Property.
(gg) The
related Mortgage or other Purchased Asset Documents contain covenants on the
part of the related Mortgagor requiring its compliance with any present or
future federal, state and local Environmental Laws and regulations in connection
with the Mortgaged Property. The related Mortgagor (or an affiliate
thereof) has agreed to indemnify, defend and hold Seller, and its successors and
assigns (or in the case of a Participation, the lender of record), harmless from
and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, expenses
and claims of whatever kind or nature (including attorneys’ fees and costs)
imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any such party resulting from a
breach of the environmental representations, warranties or covenants given by
the related Mortgagor in connection with such Purchased Asset.
-10-
(hh) For
each of the Purchased Assets that is covered by environmental insurance, each
environmental insurance policy is in an amount equal to 125% of the outstanding
principal balance of the related Purchased Asset and has a term ending no sooner
than the date that is five years after the maturity date (or, in the case of an
ARD Loan, the final maturity date) of the related Purchased
Asset. All environmental assessments or updates that were in the
possession of Seller and that relate to a Mortgaged Property as being insured by
an environmental insurance policy have been delivered to or disclosed to the
environmental insurance carrier issuing such policy prior to the issuance of
such policy.
(ii) As
of the date of origination of the related Purchased Asset, and, as of the
Purchase Date, the Mortgaged Property is covered by insurance policies providing
the coverage described below and the Purchased Asset Documents permit the
mortgagee to require the coverage described below. All premiums with
respect to the insurance policies insuring each Mortgaged Property have been
paid in a timely manner or escrowed to the extent required by the Purchased
Asset Documents, and Seller has not received any notice of cancellation or
termination. The relevant Purchased Asset File contains the insurance
policy required for such Purchased Asset or a certificate of insurance for such
insurance policy. Each Mortgage requires that the related Mortgaged
Property and all improvements thereon be covered by insurance policies providing
(a) coverage in the amount of the lesser of full replacement cost of such
Mortgaged Property and the outstanding principal balance of the related
Purchased Asset (subject to customary deductibles) for fire and extended perils
included within the classification “All Risk of Physical Loss” in an amount
sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor from being deemed a co-insurer and to
provide coverage on a full replacement cost basis of such Mortgaged Property (in
some cases exclusive of foundations and footings) with an agreed amount
endorsement to avoid application of any coinsurance provision; such policies
contain a standard mortgagee clause naming mortgagee and its successor in
interest as additional insureds or loss payee, as applicable; (b) business
interruption or rental loss insurance in an amount at least equal to (i) 12
months of operations or (ii) in some cases all rents and other amounts
customarily insured under this type of insurance of the Mortgaged Property; (c)
flood insurance (if any portion of the improvements on the Mortgaged Property is
located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”), with respect
to certain Purchased Assets and the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
with respect to other Mortgage Loans, as having special flood hazards) in an
amount not less than amounts prescribed by FEMA; (d) workers’ compensation, if
required by law; (e) comprehensive general liability insurance in an amount
equal to not less than $1,000,000; all such insurance policies contain clauses
providing they are not terminable and may not be terminated without thirty (30)
days prior written notice to the mortgagee (except where applicable law requires
a shorter period or except for nonpayment of premiums, in which case not less
than ten (10) days prior written notice to the mortgagee is
required). In addition, each Mortgage permits the related mortgagee
to make premium payments to prevent the cancellation thereof and shall entitle
such mortgagee to reimbursement therefor. Any insurance proceeds in
respect of a casualty, loss or taking will be applied either to the repair or
restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property or the payment of
the outstanding principal balance of the related Purchased Asset together with
any accrued interest thereon. The related Mortgaged Property is
insured by an insurance policy, issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of
such Purchased Asset (or in the case of a Participation, of the Underlying
Mortgage Loan) and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of at
least A:X from A.M. Best Company or “A” (or the equivalent) from S&P, Fitch
or Xxxxx’x. An architectural or engineering consultant has performed
an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4
in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property, for
the sole purpose of assessing the probable maximum loss (“PML”) for the
Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance,
the PML was based on a return period of not less than 100 years, an exposure
period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedence. If the
resulting report concluded that the PML would exceed 20% of the amount of the
replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged
Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least A:X by A.M. Best Company or
“A” (or the equivalent) from S&P, Fitch or Xxxxx’x. The insurer
issuing each of the foregoing insurance policies is qualified to write insurance
in the jurisdiction where the related Mortgaged Property is
located.
-11-
(jj) All
amounts required to be deposited by each Mortgagor at origination under the
related Purchased Asset Documents have been deposited at origination and there
are no deficiencies with regard thereto.
(kk) Whether
or not a Purchased Asset was originated by Seller, with respect to each
Purchased Asset originated by Seller and each Purchased Asset originated by any
Person other than Seller, as of the date of origination of the related Purchased
Asset, and, with respect to each Purchased Asset originated by Seller and any
subsequent holder of the Purchased Asset, as of the Purchase Date, there are no
actions, suits, arbitrations or governmental investigations or proceedings by or
before any court or other Governmental Authority or agency now pending against
or affecting the Mortgagor under any Purchased Asset or any of the Mortgaged
Properties that, if determined against such Mortgagor or such Mortgaged
Property, would materially and adversely affect the value of such Mortgaged
Property, the security intended to be provided with respect to the related
Purchased Asset, or the ability of such Mortgagor and/or the current use of such
Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow to pay principal, interest and
other amounts due under the related Purchased Asset; and there are no such
actions, suits or proceedings threatened against such Mortgagor.
(ll) Each
Purchased Asset complied at origination, in all material respects, with all of
the terms, conditions and requirements of Seller’s underwriting standards
applicable to such Purchased Asset and since origination, the Purchased Asset
has been serviced in all material respects in a legal manner in conformance with
Seller’s servicing standards.
(mm) The
originator of the Purchased Asset or Seller has inspected or caused to be
inspected each related Mortgaged Property within the 12 months prior to the
Purchase Date.
(nn) The
Purchased Asset Documents require the Mortgagor to provide the holder of the
Purchased Asset with at least annual operating statements, financial statements
and except for Purchased Assets for which the related Mortgaged Property is
leased to a single tenant, rent rolls.
(oo) All
escrow deposits and payments required by the terms of each Purchased Asset are
in the possession, or under the control of Seller (or in the case of a
Participation, the servicer of the related Mortgage Loan), and all amounts
required to be deposited by the applicable Mortgagor under the related Purchased
Asset Documents have been deposited, and there are no deficiencies with regard
thereto (subject to any applicable notice and cure period). All of
Seller’s interest in such escrows and deposits will be conveyed by Seller to
Buyer hereunder.
-12-
(pp) Each
Mortgagor with respect to a Purchased Asset (and, for each Accommodation Loan,
each Mortgagee thereunder) is an entity whose organizational documents or
related Purchased Asset Documents provide that it is, and at least so long as
the Purchased Asset is outstanding will continue to be, a Single Purpose
Entity. For this purpose, “Single Purpose Entity” shall mean a
Person, other than an individual, whose organizational documents provide that it
shall engage solely in the business of owning and operating the Mortgaged
Property and that does not engage in any business unrelated to such property and
the financing thereof, does not have any assets other than those related to its
interest in the Mortgaged Property or the financing thereof or any indebtedness
other than as permitted by the related Mortgage or other Purchased Asset
Documents, and the organizational documents of which require that it have its
own separate books and records and its own accounts, in each case that are
separate and apart from the books and records and accounts of any other Person,
except as permitted by the related Mortgage or other Purchased Asset
Documents.
(qq) Each
of the Purchased Assets contain a “due on sale” clause, which provides for the
acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Purchased
Asset (or in the case of an A Note or a Participation, of the related Mortgage
Loan) if, without the prior written consent of the holder of the Purchased Asset
(or in the case of an A Note or a Participation, of the holder of title to the
Underlying Mortgage Loan), the property subject to the Mortgage, or any
controlling interest therein, is directly or indirectly transferred or sold
(except that it may provide for transfers by devise, descent or operation of law
upon the death of a member, manager, general partner or shareholder of a
Mortgagor and that it may provide for assignments subject to the Purchased Asset
holder’s approval of transferee, transfers to affiliates, transfers to family
members for estate planning purposes, transfers among existing members, partners
or shareholders in Mortgagors or transfers of passive interests so long as the
key principals or general partner retains control). The Purchased
Asset Documents contain a “due on encumbrance” clause, which provides for the
acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Purchased
Asset if the property subject to the Mortgage or any controlling interest in the
Mortgagor is further pledged or encumbered, unless the prior written consent of
the holder of the Purchased Asset is obtained (except that it may provide for
assignments subject to the Purchased Asset holder’s approval of transferee,
transfers to affiliates or transfers of passive interests so long as the key
principals or general partner retains control). The Mortgage requires
the Mortgagor to pay all reasonable fees and expenses associated with securing
the consent or approval of the holder of the Mortgage for a waiver of a “due on
sale” or “due on encumbrance” clause or a defeasance provision. As of
the Purchase Date, Seller holds no preferred equity interest in any Mortgagor
and Seller holds no mezzanine debt related to such Mortgaged
Property.
-13-
(rr) Each
Purchased Asset containing provisions for defeasance of mortgage collateral
requires either (a) the prior written consent of, and compliance with the
conditions set by, the holder of the Purchased Asset to any defeasance, or
(b)(i) the replacement collateral consist of U.S. “government securities,”
within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Article 1.860 G-2(a)(8)(i), in an
amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note when
due (up to the maturity date for the related Purchased Asset, the Anticipated
Repayment Date for ARD Loans or the date on which the Mortgagor may prepay the
related Purchased Asset without payment of any prepayment penalty); (ii) the
loan may be assumed by a Single Purpose Entity approved by the holder of the
Purchased Asset; (iii) counsel provide an opinion that the trustee has a
perfected security interest in such collateral prior to any other claim or
interest; and (iv) such other documents and certifications as the mortgagee may
reasonably require, which may include, without limitation, (A) a certification
that the purpose of the defeasance is to facilitate the disposition of the
mortgaged real property or any other customary commercial transaction and not to
be part of an arrangement to collateralize a REMIC offering with obligations
that are not real estate mortgages and (B) a certification from an independent
certified public accountant that the collateral is sufficient to make all
scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note when due. Each Purchased
Asset containing provisions for defeasance provides that, in addition to any
cost associated with defeasance, the related Mortgagor shall pay, as of the date
the mortgage collateral is defeased, all scheduled and accrued interest and
principal due as well as an amount sufficient to defease in full the Purchased
Asset. In addition, if the related Purchased Asset permits
defeasance, then the Mortgage Loan documents provide that the related Mortgagor
shall (x) pay all reasonable fees associated with the defeasance of the
Purchased Asset and all other reasonable expenses associated with the
defeasance, or (y) provide all opinions required under the related Purchased
Asset Documents, including a REMIC opinion, and any applicable rating agency
letters confirming that no downgrade or qualification shall occur as a result of
the defeasance.
(ss) In
the event that a Purchased Asset is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property,
then, in connection with a release of less than all of such Mortgaged
Properties, a Mortgaged Property may not be released as collateral for the
related Purchased Asset unless, in connection with such release, an amount equal
to not less than 125% of the Allocated Loan Amount for such Mortgaged Property
is prepaid or, in the case of a defeasance, an amount equal to 125% of the
Allocated Loan Amount is defeased through the deposit of replacement collateral
(as contemplated in clause (34) hereof) sufficient to make all scheduled
payments with respect to such defeased amount, or such release is otherwise in
accordance with the terms of the Purchased Asset Documents.
(tt) Each
Mortgaged Property is owned in fee by the related Mortgagor, with the exception
of (i) Mortgaged Properties that are secured in whole or in a part by a Ground
Lease and (ii) out-parcels, and is used and occupied for commercial or
multifamily residential purposes in accordance with applicable law.
(uu) Any
material non-conformity with applicable zoning laws constitutes a legal
non-conforming use or structure that, in the event of casualty or destruction,
may be restored or repaired to the full extent of the use or structure at the
time of such casualty, or for which law and ordinance insurance coverage has
been obtained in amounts consistent with the standards utilized by
Seller.
(vv) Neither
Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital
contributions to the related Mortgagor under the Purchased Asset. The
Purchased Asset was not originated for the sole purpose of financing the
construction of incomplete improvements on the related Mortgaged
Property.
(ww) The
following statements are true with respect to the related Mortgaged
Property: (a) the Mortgaged Property is located on or adjacent to a
dedicated road or has access to an irrevocable easement permitting ingress and
egress and (b) the Mortgaged Property is served by public or private utilities,
water and sewer (or septic facilities) and otherwise appropriate for the use in
which the Mortgaged Property is currently being utilized.
-14-
(xx) None
of the Purchased Asset Documents contain any provision that expressly excuses
the related borrower from obtaining and maintaining insurance coverage for acts
of terrorism and, in circumstances where terrorism insurance is not expressly
required, the mortgagee is not prohibited from requesting that the related
borrower maintain such insurance, in each case, to the extent such insurance
coverage is generally available for like properties in such jurisdictions at
commercially reasonable rates. Each Mortgaged Property is insured by
an “all-risk” casualty insurance policy that does not contain an express
exclusion for (or, alternatively, is covered by a separate policy that insures
against property damage resulting from) acts of terrorism.
(yy) An
appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property was conducted in connection with the
origination of such Purchased Asset (or in the case of a Participation, the date
of origination of the Underlying Mortgage Loan), and such appraisal satisfied
the guidelines in Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and
Enforcement Act of 1989, in either case as in effect on the date such Purchased
Asset (or in the case of a Participation, the Underlying Mortgage Loan) was
originated.
As used
in this Exhibit:
The term
“Allocated Loan
Amount” shall mean, for each Mortgaged Property, the portion of principal
of the related Purchased Asset allocated to such Mortgaged Property for certain
purposes (including determining the release prices of properties, if permitted)
under such Purchased Asset as set forth in the related loan
documents. There can be no assurance, and it is unlikely, that the
Allocated Loan Amounts represent the current values of individual Mortgaged
Properties, the price at which an individual Mortgaged Property could be sold in
the future to a willing buyer or the replacement cost of the Mortgaged
Properties.
The term
“Anticipated Repayment
Date” shall mean, with respect to any Purchased Asset that is indicated
on the Purchased Asset Schedule as having a Revised Rate, the date upon which
such Purchased Asset commences accruing interest at such Revised
Rate.
The term
“Assignment of
Leases” shall have the meaning specified in paragraph 10 of this Exhibit
VI.
The term
“Assignment of
Mortgage” shall mean, with respect to any Mortgage, an assignment of the
mortgage, notice of transfer or equivalent instrument in recordable form,
sufficient under the laws of the jurisdiction wherein the related property is
located to reflect the assignment and pledge of the Mortgage, subject to the
terms, covenants and provisions of this Agreement.
The term
“ARD Loan”
shall mean any Purchased Asset that provides that if the unamortized principal
balance thereof is not repaid on its Anticipated Repayment Date, such Purchased
Asset will accrue Excess Interest at the rate specified in the related Mortgage
Note and the Mortgagor is required to apply excess monthly cash flow generated
by the related Mortgaged Property to the repayment of the outstanding principal
balance on such Purchased Asset.
-15-
The term
“Due Date”
shall mean the day of the month set forth in the related Mortgage Note on which
each monthly payment of interest and/or principal thereon is scheduled to be
first due.
The term
“Environmental Site
Assessment” shall mean a Phase I environmental report meeting the
requirements of the American Society for Testing and Materials, and, if in
accordance with customary industry standards a reasonable lender would require
it, a Phase II environmental report, each prepared by a licensed third party
professional experienced in environmental matters.
The term
“Excess Cash
Flow” shall mean the cash flow from the Mortgaged Property securing an
ARD Loan after payments of interest (at the Mortgage Interest Rate) and
principal (based on the amortization schedule), and (a) required payments for
the tax and insurance fund and ground lease escrows fund, (b) required payments
for the monthly debt service escrows, if any, (c) payments to any other required
escrow funds and (d) payment of operating expenses pursuant to the terms of an
annual budget approved by the servicer and discretionary (lender approved)
capital expenditures.
The term
“Excess
Interest” shall mean any accrued and deferred interest on an ARD Loan in
accordance with the following terms. Commencing on the respective
Anticipated Repayment Date each ARD Loan (pursuant to its existing terms or a
unilateral option, as defined in Treasury Regulations under Article 1001 of the
Code, in the Purchased Assets exercisable during the term of the Purchased
Asset) generally will bear interest at a fixed rate (the “Revised Rate”) per
annum equal to the Mortgage Interest Rate plus a percentage specified in the
related Mortgage Loan Documents. Until the principal balance of each
such Purchased Asset has been reduced to zero (pursuant to its existing terms or
a unilateral option, as defined in Treasury Regulations under Article 1001 of
the Code, in the Purchased Assets exercisable during the term of the Mortgage
Loan), such Purchased Asset will only be required to pay interest at the
Mortgage Interest Rate and the interest accrued at the excess of the related
Revised Rate over the related Mortgage Interest Rate will be deferred (such
accrued and deferred interest and interest thereon, if any, is “Excess
Interest”).
The term
“Mortgage Interest
Rate” shall mean the fixed rate, or the formula applicable to determine
the floating rate, of interest per annum that each Purchased Asset bears as of
the Purchase Date.
The term
“Permitted
Encumbrances” shall mean:
|
I.
|
the
lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and
assessments not yet delinquent or accruing interest or
penalties;
|
|
II.
|
covenants,
conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of
public record acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and
referred to in the related mortgagee’s title insurance
policy;
|
-16-
|
III.
|
other
matters to which like properties are commonly subject and which are
acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally,
and
|
|
IV.
|
the
rights of tenants, as tenants only, whether under ground leases or space
leases at the Mortgaged Property
|
that
together do not materially and adversely affect the related Mortgagor’s ability
to timely make payments on the related Purchased Asset, which do not materially
interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the
related Mortgage or the use, for the use currently being made, the operation as
currently being operated, enjoyment, value or marketability of such Mortgaged
Property, provided, however, that, for
the avoidance of doubt, Permitted Encumbrances shall exclude all pari passu, second, junior
and subordinated mortgages but shall not exclude mortgages that secure Purchased
Assets that are cross-collateralized with other Purchased Assets.
The term
“Revised Rate”
shall mean, with respect to those Purchased Assets on the Purchased Asset
Schedule indicated as having a revised rate, the increased interest rate after
the Anticipated Repayment Date (in the absence of a default) for each applicable
Purchased Asset, as calculated and as set forth in the related Purchased
Asset.

underlying documents for the performing commercial mortgage loan secured by a
first lien on a multifamily or commercial property to which such Purchased Asset

or in part, from its obligations under any related Purchased Asset
Document.

REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES
REGARDING
EACH INDIVIDUAL PURCHASED ASSET
THAT IS A
CMBS
(a) The
CMBS consists of pass-through certificates representing beneficial ownership
interests in one or more REMICs consisting of one or more first lien mortgage
loans secured by commercial and/or multifamily properties.
(b) Immediately
prior to the sale, transfer and assignment to Buyer thereof, Seller had good and
marketable title to, and was the sole owner and holder of, such CMBS, and Seller
is transferring such CMBS free and clear of any and all liens, pledges,
encumbrances, charges, security interests or any other ownership interests of
any nature encumbering such CMBS.
(c) Seller
has full right, power and authority to sell and assign such CMBS and such CMBS
has not been cancelled, satisfied or rescinded in whole or part nor has any
instrument been executed that would effect a cancellation, satisfaction or
rescission thereof.
(d) Other
than consents and approvals obtained as of the related Purchase Date or those
already granted in the related documents governing such CMBS, no consent or
approval by any Person is required in connection with Buyer’s acquisition of
such CMBS, for Buyer’s exercise of any rights or remedies in respect of such
CMBS or for Buyer’s sale or other disposition of such CMBS. No third
party holds any “right of first refusal”, “right of first negotiation”, “right
of first offer”, purchase option, or other similar rights of any kind, and no
other impediment exists to any such transfer or exercise of rights or
remedies.
(e) Upon
consummation of the purchase contemplated to occur in respect of such CMBS on
the Purchase Date therefor, Seller will have validly and effectively conveyed to
Buyer all legal and beneficial interest in and to such CMBS free and clear of
any and all liens, pledges, encumbrances, charges, security interests or any
other ownership interests of any nature.
(f) The
CMBS is a physical security in registered form, or is in book-entry form and
held through the facilities of (a) The Depository Trust Corporation in New York,
New York, or
(b)
another clearing organization or book-entry system reasonably acceptable to

located in seismic zone 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic
condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the probable
maximum loss (“PML”) for the
Underlying Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such
instance, the PML was based on a 475 year lookback with a 10% probability of
exceedance in a 50 year period. If the resulting report concluded

Property to comply with all applicable laws and ordinances.

the appraised value of any related Underlying Mortgaged Property at the time of
the origination of the Mezzanine Loan or any related Underlying Mortgage Loan
lies outside of the boundaries and building restriction lines of such property

an extent which would have a material adverse affect on the value of the
Underlying Mortgaged Property or the related Mortgagor’s use and operation of

insurance) and no improvements on adjoining properties encroached upon such
Underlying Mortgaged Property to any material and adverse extent (unless

maximum allowed under the related federal flood insurance program.
(nn) Except
for Mortgagors under Underlying Mortgage Loans the Underlying Mortgaged Property
with respect to which includes a Ground Lease, the related Mortgagor (or its
affiliate) has title in the fee simple interest in each related Underlying
Mortgaged Property.
(oo) The
related Underlying Mortgaged Property is not encumbered, and none of the
Mezzanine Loan Documents or any Underlying Mortgage Loan documents permits the
related Underlying Mortgaged Property to be encumbered subsequent to the
Purchase Date of the related Purchased Asset without the prior written consent

(pp) Each
related Underlying Mortgaged Property constitutes one or more complete separate
tax lots (or the related Mortgagor has covenanted to obtain separate tax lots
and a Person has indemnified the Mortgagee for any loss suffered in connection
therewith or an escrow of funds in an amount sufficient to pay taxes resulting
from a breach thereof has been established) or is subject to an endorsement
under the related title insurance policy.
(qq) An
appraisal of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property was conducted in
connection with the origination of the Underlying Mortgage Loan; and such

Lease, Seller represents and warrants the following with respect to the related
Ground Lease:
I. Such
Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been or will be duly recorded no later
than 30 days after the Purchase Date of the related Purchased Asset and such
Ground Lease permits the interest of the lessee thereunder to be encumbered by
the related Mortgage or, if consent of the lessor thereunder is required, it has
been obtained prior to the Purchase Date.
-7-
II. Upon
the foreclosure of the Underlying Mortgage Loan (or acceptance of a deed in lieu
thereof), the Mortgagor’s interest in such Ground Lease is assignable to the
Mortgagee under the leasehold estate and its assigns without the consent of the
lessor thereunder (or, if any such consent is required, it has been obtained
prior to the Purchase Date).
III. Such
Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or terminated without the
prior written consent of the Mortgagee and any such action without such consent
is not binding on the Mortgagee, its successors or assigns, except termination
or cancellation if (i) an event of default occurs under the Ground Lease,
(ii) notice thereof is provided to the Mortgagee and (iii) such default is
curable by the Mortgagee as provided in the Ground Lease but remains uncured
beyond the applicable cure period.
IV. Such
Ground Lease is in full force and effect, there is no material default under
such Ground Lease, and there is no event which, with the passage of time or with
notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a
material default under such Ground Lease.
V. The
Ground Lease or ancillary agreement between the lessor and the lessee requires
the lessor to give notice of any default by the lessee to the
Mortgagee. The Ground Lease or ancillary agreement further provides
that no notice given is effective against the Mortgagee unless a copy has been
given to the Mortgagee in a manner described in the Ground Lease or ancillary
agreement.
VI. The
Ground Lease (i) is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of
equal priority with, the Mortgage, subject, however, to only the Title
Exceptions or (ii) is subject to a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment
agreement to which the Mortgagee on the lessor’s fee interest in the Underlying
Mortgaged Property is subject.
VII. A
Mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary,
sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the
Ground Lease) to cure any curable default under such Ground Lease before the
lessor thereunder may terminate such Ground Lease.
VIII. Such
Ground Lease has an original term (together with any extension options, whether

the Mortgagee if the Mortgagee acquires the lessee’s rights under the Ground
Lease) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity
date.
IX. Under
the terms of such Ground Lease, any estoppel or consent letter received by the

insurance proceeds or condemnation award (other than in respect of a total or
substantially total loss or taking) will be applied either to the repair or
restoration of all or part of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property, with
the Mortgagee or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse
such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment or
defeasance of the outstanding principal balance of the Underlying Mortgage Loan,
together with any accrued interest (except in cases where a different allocation
would not be viewed as commercially unreasonable by any commercial mortgage

related Mortgage and the ratio of the market value of the related Underlying
Mortgaged Property to the outstanding principal balance of such Underlying
Mortgage Loan).

required under the Mezzanine Loan Documents and/or any Mortgage Loan related to
the Underlying Mortgaged Property, which insurance covered such risks as were
customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending
institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the related
Underlying Mortgaged Property in the jurisdiction in which such Underlying
Mortgaged Property is located, and with respect to a fire and extended perils
insurance policy, is in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) at least
equal to the lesser of (i) the replacement cost of improvements located on such
Underlying Mortgaged Property, or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the
Underlying Mortgage Loan, and in any event, the amount necessary to prevent
operation of any co-insurance provisions; and, except if such Underlying
Mortgaged Property is operated as a mobile home park, is also covered by
business interruption or rental loss insurance, in an amount at least equal to
12 months of operations of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property, all of

loans. The Underlying Mortgaged Property is also covered by
comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for personal and bodily
injury, death or property damage occurring on, in or about the related
Underlying Mortgaged Property, in an amount customarily required by prudent
institutional lenders. An architectural or engineering consultant has
performed an analysis of the Underlying Mortgaged Properties located in seismic
zone 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such
property, for the sole purpose of assessing the probable maximum loss (“PML”) for the
Underlying Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such
instance, the PML was based on a 475 year lookback with a 10% probability of
exceedance in a 50 year period. If the resulting report concluded
that the PML would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the
improvements, earthquake insurance on such Underlying Mortgaged Property was
obtained by an insurer rated at least A-:V by A.M. Best Company or “BBB-” (or
the equivalent) from S&P and Fitch or “Baa3” (or the equivalent) from

the outstanding principal balance of such Underlying Mortgage Loan and (ii) 100%
of the full insurable value, or 100% of the replacement cost, of the
improvements located on the related Underlying Mortgaged Property.

successors and assigns as loss payee, in the case of a property insurance
policy, and additional insured in the case of a liability insurance policy and
provide that they are not terminable without 30 days prior written notice to the
Mortgagee (or, with respect to non-payment, 10 days prior written notice to the
Mortgagee) or such lesser period as prescribed by applicable
law. Each Mortgage requires that the Mortgagor maintain insurance as
described above or permits the Mortgagee to require insurance as described
above, and permits the Mortgagee to purchase such insurance at the Mortgagor’s
expense if Mortgagor fails to do so.
-6-
(oo) There
is no material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting the

the use and occupancy thereof which (i) are not insured by an ALTA lender’s
title insurance policy (or a binding commitment therefor), or its equivalent as
adopted in the applicable jurisdiction, or a law and ordinance insurance policy
or (ii) would have a material adverse effect on the value, operation or net
operating income of the Underlying Mortgaged Property. The Mezzanine
Loan Documents and the Underlying Mortgage Loan documents require the Underlying
Mortgaged Property to comply with all applicable laws and
ordinances.
(ss) None
of the material improvements which were included for the purposes of determining
the appraised value of any related Underlying Mortgaged Property at the time of
the origination of the Mezzanine Loan or any related Underlying Mortgage Loan
lies outside of the boundaries and building restriction lines of such property
(except Underlying Mortgaged Properties which are legal non-conforming uses), to
an extent which would have a material adverse affect on the value of the
Underlying Mortgaged Property or the related Mortgagor’s use and operation of
such Underlying Mortgaged Property (unless affirmatively covered by title
insurance) and no improvements on adjoining properties encroached upon such
Underlying Mortgaged Property to any material and adverse extent (unless
affirmatively covered by title insurance).
(tt) As
of the Purchase Date for the related Purchased Asset, there was no pending
action, suit or proceeding, or governmental investigation of which Seller, the
Mezzanine Borrower or the Underlying Property Owner has received notice, against
the Mortgagor or the related Underlying Mortgaged Property the adverse outcome
of which could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the
Mezzanine Loan or the Underlying Mortgage Loan.

maximum allowed under the related federal flood insurance program.
-7-
(vv) With
respect to each related Underlying Mortgage Loan, except for Mortgagors under
Underlying Mortgage Loans, the Underlying Mortgaged Property with respect to
which includes a Ground Lease, the related lessor (or its affiliate) has title
in the fee simple interest in each related Underlying Mortgaged
Property.
(ww) The
related Underlying Mortgaged Property is not encumbered, and none of the
Mezzanine Loan Documents or any Underlying Mortgage Loan documents permits the
related Underlying Mortgaged Property to be encumbered subsequent to the
Purchase Date of the related Purchased Asset without the prior written consent
of the holder thereof, by any lien securing the payment of money junior to or of
equal priority with, or superior to, the lien of the related Mortgage (other
than Title Exceptions, taxes, assessments and contested mechanics and
materialmens liens that become payable after such Purchase Date).
(xx) Each
related Underlying Mortgaged Property constitutes one or more complete separate
tax lots (or the related Mortgagor has covenanted to obtain separate tax lots
and a Person has indemnified the Mortgagee for any loss suffered in connection
therewith or an escrow of funds in an amount sufficient to pay taxes resulting
from a breach thereof has been established) or is subject to an endorsement
under the related title insurance policy.
(yy) An
appraisal of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property was conducted in
connection with the origination of the Underlying Mortgage Loan; and such
appraisal satisfied either (A) the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of
Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of

Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act or 1989, in either case as in

Lease, Seller represents and warrants the following with respect to the related
Ground Lease:
I. Such
Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been or will be duly recorded no later
than 30 days after the Purchase Date of the related Purchased Asset and such
Ground Lease permits the interest of the lessee thereunder to be encumbered by
the related Mortgage or, if consent of the lessor thereunder is required, it has
been obtained prior to the Purchase Date.
II. Upon
the foreclosure of the Underlying Mortgage Loan (or acceptance of a deed in lieu
thereof), the Mortgagor’s interest in such Ground Lease is assignable to the
Mortgagee under the leasehold estate and its assigns without the consent of the
lessor thereunder (or, if any such consent is required, it has been obtained
prior to the Purchase Date).
-8-
III. Such
Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or terminated without the
prior written consent of the Mortgagee and any such action without such consent
is not binding on the Mortgagee, its successors or assigns, except termination
or cancellation if (i) an event of default occurs under the Ground Lease,
(ii) notice thereof is provided to the Mortgagee and (iii) such default is
curable by the Mortgagee as provided in the Ground Lease but remains uncured
beyond the applicable cure period.
IV. Such
Ground Lease is in full force and effect, there is no material default under
such Ground Lease, and there is no event which, with the passage of time or with
notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a
material default under such Ground Lease.
V. The
Ground Lease or ancillary agreement between the lessor and the lessee requires
the lessor to give notice of any default by the lessee to the
Mortgagee. The Ground Lease or ancillary agreement further provides
that no notice given is effective against the Mortgagee unless a copy has been
given to the Mortgagee in a manner described in the Ground Lease or ancillary
agreement.
VI. The
Ground Lease (i) is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of
equal priority with, the Mortgage, subject, however, to only the Title
Exceptions or (ii) is subject to a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment
agreement to which the Mortgagee on the lessor’s fee interest in the Underlying
Mortgaged Property is subject.
VII. A
Mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary,
sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the
Ground Lease) to cure any curable default under such Ground Lease before the
lessor thereunder may terminate such Ground Lease.
VIII. Such
Ground Lease has an original term (together with any extension options, whether
or not currently exercised, set forth therein all of which can be exercised by
the Mortgagee if the Mortgagee acquires the lessee’s rights under the Ground
Lease) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity
date.
IX. Under
the terms of such Ground Lease, any estoppel or consent letter received by the
Mortgagee from the lessor, and the related Mortgage, taken together, any related
insurance proceeds or condemnation award (other than in respect of a total or
substantially total loss or taking) will be applied either to the repair or
restoration of all or part of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property, with
the Mortgagee or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse
such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment or
defeasance of the outstanding principal balance of the Underlying Mortgage Loan,
together with any accrued interest (except in cases where a different allocation
would not be viewed as commercially unreasonable by any commercial mortgage
lender, taking into account the relative duration of the Ground Lease and the
related Mortgage and the ratio of the market value of the related Underlying
Mortgaged Property to the outstanding principal balance of such Underlying
Mortgage Loan).
-9-
X. The
Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed
as commercially unreasonable by a prudent commercial lender
XI.
The ground lessor under such Ground Lease is required to enter into a new lease
upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including the rejection of
the Ground Lease in bankruptcy.

I
have reviewed the terms of the Master Repurchase Agreement and I have

it.
