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 (i) LIBOR is again ascertainable for subsequent pricing periods or (2) LIBOR adequately and fairly reflects the cost to purchaser of making or maintaining transactions during such Price Rate Period, as applicable, shall be a per annum rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus the 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 Purchaser to enter into or maintain Transactions as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the determination of such unlawfulness to be made in the same manner as for all of Purchaser’s other repurchase customers, (i) the commitment of Purchaser hereunder to enter into new Transactions and to continue Transactions as such shall forthwith be canceled, and (ii) 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 is required by law.

(i) Upon demand by Purchaser, Seller shall indemnify Purchaser and hold Purchaser harmless from any loss, cost or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) that Purchaser may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) default by Seller repurchasing any Purchased Asset after Seller has given a notice in accordance with Article 3(e) of an Early Repurchase, (ii) any payment of the Repurchase Price on any day other than a Remittance Date, (iii) a default by Seller in selling Eligible Assets after Seller has notified Purchaser of a proposed Transaction and Purchaser has agreed to purchase such Eligible Assets in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (iv) Purchaser’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) Purchaser entering into any of the Transaction Documents, but excluding any losses, costs or expenses arising out of Purchaser’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or a default by Purchaser under any of the Transaction Documents, or owning any Purchased Item. A certificate as to such costs, losses, damages and expenses, setting forth the calculations thereof shall be submitted promptly by Purchaser to 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 Purchaser with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Purchaser made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall subject Purchaser 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 Purchaser in respect thereof (except for taxes imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated), franchise taxes, and branch profits taxes, in each case, (i) imposed as a result of a Purchaser being organized under the laws of, or having its principal office or its applicable lending office located in, the jurisdiction imposing such tax (or any political subdivision thereof) or (ii) that are imposed as a result of a present or former connection between such Purchaser and the jurisdiction imposing such tax (other than connections arising from such Purchaser having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to or enforced any document contemplated hereunder));

(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 Purchaser that is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on Purchaser any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Purchaser of entering into, continuing or maintaining Transactions or to reduce any amount receivable by Purchaser under the Transaction Documents in respect thereof, by an amount that Purchaser deems, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, to be material; then, in any such case, Seller shall promptly pay Purchaser, after written demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Purchaser for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. Such notification as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be submitted by Purchaser to Seller, shall contain an explanation of Purchaser’s claim and shall be prima facie evidence of such additional amounts. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Assets.

(k) If Purchaser 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 Purchaser or any corporation controlling Purchaser 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 has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Purchaser’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Purchaser or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Purchaser’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Purchaser, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, to be material, then from time to time, after submission by Purchaser to Seller of a written request therefor and provided Purchaser imposes such additional costs generally on its similarly situated customers, Seller shall pay to Purchaser such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Purchaser for such reduction. Such notification as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be submitted by Purchaser to Seller and shall contain an explanation of Purchaser’s claim and shall be prima facie evidence of such additional amounts. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Assets.

(l) If Seller repurchases Purchased Assets on a day other than the Remittance Date, Seller shall indemnify Purchaser and hold Purchaser harmless from any actual losses, costs and/or expenses which Purchaser sustains as a direct consequence of terminating any LIBOR contracts Purchaser entered into in relation to such Purchased Assets (“Breakage Costs”), in each case for the remainder of the applicable Pricing Rate Period. Purchaser shall deliver to 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 (which shall be consistent with this clause (l)) shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller 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) Facility Expiration Extension. (i) Upon written request of Seller, provided that all of the extension conditions listed in clause (ii) below (collectively, the “Termination Date Extension Conditions”) shall have been satisfied, Purchaser may, at its sole discretion, extend the Termination Date, for a period not to exceed three hundred sixty-four (364) additional days (an “Extension Period”) by giving notice to Seller of such extension and of the new Termination Date.

(D) all representations and warranties made by Seller and Guarantor in the Transaction Documents (except to the extent disclosed in a Requested Exceptions Report) shall be true, correct, complete and accurate in all material respects as of the existing Termination Date.

(n) Repurchase Date Extension. (i) Provided that all of the extension conditions listed in clause (ii) below (collectively, the “Repurchase Date Extension Conditions”) shall have been satisfied with respect to a Purchased Asset, Purchaser shall extend the then-current Repurchase Date for such Purchased Asset for a period not to exceed three (3) additional months, but in any event, not beyond 364 days from the initial Purchase Date for such Purchased Asset, by giving notice to Seller of such extension and of the new Repurchase Date for such Purchased Asset. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall Seller be permitted to extend the Repurchase Date for any Purchased Asset more than once.

(ii) For purposes of this Article 3(n), the Repurchase Date Extension Conditions shall be deemed to have been satisfied if:

(A) Seller shall have, not less than thirty (30) or more than sixty (60) days prior to the then-current Repurchase Date for a Purchased Asset, (1) given Purchaser written notice that a securitization of such Purchased Asset is pending and that Seller desires to extend the Repurchase Date of such Purchased Asset to facilitate the sale of such Purchased Asset into such securitization and (2) provided to Purchaser evidence reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser that such Purchased Asset will be included in such securitization and of the intended closing date of such securitization;

(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)(A) above or as of the then-current Repurchase Date for such Purchased Asset; and

(C) all representations and warranties made by Seller and Guarantor in the Transaction Documents (except to the extent disclosed in a Requested Exceptions Report) shall be true, correct, complete and accurate in all material respects as of the existing Termination Date.

ARTICLE 4

MARGIN MAINTENANCE

(a) Purchaser may, at its option in its sole discretion, re-determine the Market Value for any Purchased Asset at any time and from time to time. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Margin Deficit Event with respect to any Purchased Asset, Purchaser may, by written notice to Seller substantially in the form of Exhibit VIII hereto (a “Margin Call”), require Seller to (i) make a cash payment in reduction of the Repurchase Price of such Purchased Asset or (ii) at the option of the Purchaser, deliver additional Eligible Assets to Purchaser, in each case, so that after giving effect to such payment or delivery, no Margin Deficit shall exist with respect to such Purchased Asset.

(b) If a Margin Call is given by Purchaser under Article 4(a) on any Business Day at or prior to 10 a.m. (New York time), the Seller shall cure the related Margin Deficit as provided in Article 4(a) no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the same day. If a Margin Call is given by Purchaser under Article 4(a) on any Business Day after 10 a.m. (New York time), the Seller shall cure the related Margin Deficit as provided in Article 4(a) no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the immediately following Business Day.

(c) From time to time, if (i) the Market Value of one or more Purchased Assets has been reduced solely as a result of market fluctuations, (ii) the aggregate amount of cash payments made by Seller to Purchaser to cure the related Margin Deficits pursuant to Article 4(a) minus the aggregate amount of Margin Return Amounts with respect to such Purchased Assets exceeds $3,000,000 and (iii) the Margin Amount for such Purchased Assets exceeds the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Assets (the amount of such excess, the “Margin Excess”) by an amount of not less than $3,000,000, then Purchaser may, in its sole and absolute discretion, consider a request from Seller to transfer cash to Seller in an amount up to such Margin Excess, but not exceeding the aggregate amount of cash payments made by Seller to Purchaser with respect to such Purchased Asset to cure Margin Deficits resulting from market fluctuations.

(d) The failure or delay by Purchaser, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights under this Article 4 shall not change or alter the terms and conditions of this Agreement or limit or waive the right of Purchaser to do so at a later date or in any way create additional rights for Seller.

ARTICLE 5

PAYMENTS; COLLECTION ACCOUNT

(a) Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Seller shall establish a segregated interest bearing deposit account (the “Collection Account”) in the name of Seller for the benefit of the Purchaser at Account Bank. The Collection Account shall be subject to the Account Control Agreement in favor of the Purchaser.

(b) Seller shall cause Servicer to promptly remit, and in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof, all Net Cash Flow in respect of the Purchased Assets directly into the Collection Account. If Seller, Guarantor or any Affiliate of the foregoing shall receive any Net Cash Flow with respect to a Purchased Asset other than by remittance from the Collection Account in accordance with the following sentence, such party shall (and Seller shall cause such party to) promptly remit such amounts directly into the Collection Account. Amounts in the Collection Account shall be remitted by Account Bank in accordance with the provisions of Articles 5(c) and 5(d).

(c) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Account Bank shall, on each Business Day, remit all amounts in the Collection Account to Seller. To the extent Net Cash Flow is applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of any Purchased Asset, Seller shall repay the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset in an amount equal to the amount of such principal repayment up to the amount of the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof.

(d) Upon receipt of written notice from Purchaser that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and so long as Purchaser has not withdrawn such notice, Account Bank shall cease remitting funds to Seller pursuant to Article 5(c) and shall instead remit, on each Business Day beginning on the Business Day after receipt of such notice from the Purchaser, all amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as of the prior Business Day in the following order of priority:

(i) first, to Purchaser, an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid Purchase Price Differential;

(ii) second, to the extent Principal Payments are received for a particular Purchased Asset, to Purchaser in reduction of the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset;

(iii) third, to Purchaser, in reduction of the Repurchase Price for all Purchased Assets, on a pro rata basis based on each Purchased Asset’s unpaid principal balance, until the Repurchase Price for each Purchased Asset has been reduced to zero;

(iv) fourth, to Purchaser, an amount equal to any other amounts then due and payable to Purchaser or its Affiliates under any Transaction Document; and

(v) fifth, to Seller, the remainder, if any.

(e) On or before each Remittance Date, Seller shall pay to Purchaser all accrued and unpaid Purchase Price Differential due on such Remittance Date.

ARTICLE 6

SECURITY INTEREST

(a) Purchaser and Seller intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Purchaser of the Purchased Assets and not loans from Purchaser to Seller secured by the Purchased Assets. However, in order to preserve Purchaser’s rights under the Transaction Documents, in the event that a court or other forum re-characterizes the Transactions hereunder as other than sales, and as security for the performance by Seller of all of Seller’s obligations to Purchaser 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 Purchaser, Seller hereby assigns, pledges and grants a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located, to Purchaser to secure the payment of the Repurchase Price on all Transactions to which it is a party and all other amounts owing by it to Purchaser hereunder, including, without limitation, amounts owing pursuant to Article 25, and under the other Transaction Documents (collectively, the “Repurchase Obligations”). Seller agrees to xxxx its books and records to evidence the interests granted to Purchaser hereunder. For purposes of this Agreement, “Collateral” shall mean:

(i) the Collection Account and all monies from time to time on deposit in the Collection Account and any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on, income relating to or proceeds of any and all of the foregoing; and

(ii) the Purchased Items.

(b) Purchaser’s security interest in the Collateral shall terminate only upon satisfaction of the Repurchase Obligations. Upon such satisfaction and upon request by Seller, Purchaser shall, at Seller’s sole expense, deliver to Seller such UCC termination statements and other release documents as may be commercially reasonable and return the Purchased Assets to Seller and reconvey the Purchased Items to Seller and release its security interest in the Collateral, such release to be effective automatically without further action by any party. 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”). Purchaser 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, (i) Purchaser, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, as applicable, 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 Seller upon completion thereof, and (ii) Seller shall from time to time take such further actions as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser 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 Purchaser hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Repurchase Obligations shall be full recourse to Seller.

(c) Seller acknowledges that it has no rights to service the Purchased Assets other than as a party to the Interim Servicing Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and the grant of a security interest in Article 6(a), and in the event that Seller is deemed by a court, other forum or otherwise to retain any residual Servicing Rights (notwithstanding that such Servicing Rights are Purchased Items hereunder), and for the avoidance of doubt, Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Servicing Rights constitute Collateral hereunder for all purposes. 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.

(d) Seller agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any Purchased Assets may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, or the absolute sale of any of the Purchased Assets, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and Seller, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws and any and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Purchased Assets marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that Purchaser or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, sell the Purchased Assets as an entirety or in such parcels as Purchaser or such court may determine.

ARTICLE 7

PAYMENT, TRANSFER AND CUSTODY

(a) Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing, all transfers of funds to be made by Seller hereunder shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Purchaser, in accordance with the wiring instructions set forth below, not later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time), on the date on which such payment shall become due (and each such payment made after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day).

(b) On the Purchase Date for each Transaction, ownership of the Purchased Assets and other Purchased Items shall be transferred to Purchaser or its designee (including the Custodian) against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price in immediately available funds to an account of Seller or its designee specified in the Confirmation relating to such Transaction, subject to and in accordance with this Agreement.

(c) Seller shall deposit the Purchased Asset Files representing the Purchased Assets, or direct that the Purchased Asset Files be deposited directly, with the Custodian in accordance with the Custodial Agreement. The Purchased Asset Files shall be maintained in accordance with the Custodial Agreement. If a Purchased Asset File is not delivered to Purchaser or its designee (including the Custodian), such Purchased Asset File shall be held in trust by Seller or its designee for the benefit of Purchaser as the owner thereof. Seller or its designee shall maintain a copy of the Purchased Asset File and the originals of the Purchased Asset File not delivered to Purchaser or its designee (including the Custodian). The possession of the Purchased Asset File by Seller or its designee is at the will of Purchaser for the sole purpose of servicing the related Purchased Asset, and such retention and possession by Seller or its designee is in a custodial capacity only. The books and records (including, without limitation, any computer records or tapes) of Seller or its designee shall be marked appropriately to reflect clearly the sale of the related Purchased Asset to Purchaser. Seller or its designee (including the Custodian) shall release its custody of the Purchased Asset File only in accordance with a written request acknowledged in writing by Purchaser and otherwise in accordance with the Custodial Agreement.

(d) From time to time, Seller shall forward to the Custodian, with copy to the Purchaser, additional original documents or additional documents evidencing any assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of a Purchased Asset approved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and upon receipt of any such other documents (which shall be clearly marked as to which Purchased Asset File such documents relate).

ARTICLE 8

SALE, TRANSFER, HYPOTHECATION OR PLEDGE OF PURCHASED ASSETS

(a) Title to all Purchased Assets shall pass to Purchaser on the applicable Purchase Date, and Purchaser shall have free and unrestricted use of all Purchased Assets, subject, however, to the terms of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall preclude Purchaser from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets or otherwise selling, transferring, pledging, repledging, hypothecating or rehypothecating the Purchased Assets, all on terms that Purchaser may determine in its sole discretion, but no such transaction shall relieve Purchaser of its obligations to transfer the same Purchased Assets to Seller pursuant to Article 3.

(b) Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall obligate Purchaser to segregate any Purchased Assets delivered to Purchaser by Seller. Except to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, no Purchased Asset shall remain in the custody of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller.

ARTICLE 9

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

(a) Each of Seller and Purchaser represents and warrants (as to itself) to the other that (i) it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement, to enter into Transactions contemplated hereunder and to perform its obligations hereunder and has taken all necessary action to authorize such execution, delivery and performance, (ii) it will engage in such Transactions as principal, (iii) the person signing this Agreement on its behalf is duly authorized to do so on its behalf (or on behalf of any such disclosed principal), (iv) it has obtained all authorizations of any Governmental Authority required in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder and such authorizations are in full force and effect and (v) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder will not violate any Requirement of Law applicable to it or its organizational documents or any agreement by which it is bound or by which any of its assets are affected. On each Purchase Date, Purchaser and Seller shall each be deemed to repeat all the foregoing representations made by it.

(b) In addition to the representations and warranties in subsection (a) above, Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser as of the date of this Agreement and will be deemed to represent and warrant to Purchaser as of the Purchase Date for the purchase of any Purchased Assets by Purchaser from Seller, unless otherwise stated herein:

(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 to which it is a party have been or will be duly executed and delivered by Seller, for good and valuable consideration. Once executed by each applicable counterparty, 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 is 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, (iii) 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) or (iii) above, to the extent that such conflict or breach would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(v) Litigation; Requirements of Law. Except as disclosed in any public filings of Guarantor or its affiliates and specifically identified to Purchaser by Seller prior to the date hereof and prior to each Purchase Date, 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 in writing against Guarantor, Seller, any Affiliate of Seller or any of their respective assets, nor is there any action, suit, proceeding, investigation, or arbitration pending or threatened in writing against Guarantor, 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 Guarantor, 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 that may result in any Material Adverse Effect.

(vi) No Broker. Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent, or other Person (other than Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser) 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 and other Purchased Items by Purchaser from Seller, such Purchased Assets and other Purchased Items 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 and other Purchased Items to Purchaser and, upon transfer of such Purchased Assets and other Purchased Items to Purchaser, Purchaser shall be the owner of such Purchased Assets and other Purchased Items free of any adverse claim. In the event the related Transaction is recharacterized as a secured financing of the Purchased Assets and other Purchased Items, the provisions of this Agreement are effective to create in favor of Purchaser a valid “security interest” (as defined in Section 1-201(b)(35) of the UCC) in all rights, title and interest of Seller in, to and under the Collateral and Purchaser shall have a valid, perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral (and without limitation on the foregoing, Purchaser, as entitlement holder, shall have a “security entitlement” to the Collateral).

(viii) No Decline in Market Value; No Defaults. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, there are no facts or circumstances that are reasonably likely to cause or have caused the Market Value of any Purchased Asset to decline. No Default or Event of Default has occurred or exists under or with respect to the Transaction Documents.

(ix) Authorized Representatives. The duly authorized representatives of Seller are listed on, and true signatures of such authorized representatives are set forth on, Exhibit II attached to this Agreement, or such other most recent list of authorized representatives substantially in the form of Exhibit II to this Agreement as Seller may from time to time deliver to Purchaser.

(x) Representations and Warranties Regarding Purchased Assets; Delivery of Purchased Asset File.

(A) Since the Purchase Date for any Purchased Asset, Seller has not assigned, pledged, or otherwise conveyed or encumbered any Purchased Asset or other Purchased Items related to such Purchased Asset to any other Person, and immediately prior to the sale of such Purchased Asset and other Purchased Items related to such Purchased Asset to Purchaser, Seller was the sole owner of such Purchased Asset and other Purchased Items and had good and Marketable Title thereto, free and clear of all liens, in each case except for liens to be released simultaneously with the sale to Purchaser hereunder.

(B) The provisions of the Transaction Documents are effective to either constitute a sale of Purchased Items to Purchaser or to create in favor of Purchaser a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in all right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under the Collateral.

(C) Upon receipt by the Custodian of (x) each Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank by a duly authorized officer of Seller, or (y) each Participation Certificate, along with an assignment of such Participation Certificate, in form and substance required by the related participation agreement, assigning such Participation Certificate in favor of Purchaser or in blank, duly executed by the applicable Seller, as applicable, and the payment to Seller by Purchaser of the related Purchase Price therefor, either a purchase shall have been completed by Purchaser of such Mortgage Note or Participation Certificate, or Purchaser 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 each Purchased Asset pursuant to Exhibit V 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 Purchaser as “Secured Party”, Seller as “Debtor” and describing the Collateral, in the jurisdiction and recording office listed on Exhibit XI attached hereto, the security interests granted hereunder in that portion of the Collateral that can be perfected by filing under the UCC will constitute fully perfected security interests under the UCC in all right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under such Collateral.

(F) Upon execution and delivery of the Account Control Agreement by all parties thereto, Purchaser shall either be the owner of, or have a valid and fully perfected first priority security interest in the Collection Account and all “financial assets” (as defined in the UCC) at any time credited thereto.

(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.

(xii) Governmental Approvals. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any Governmental Authority or any third party is required to authorize, or is required in connection with, (i) the execution, delivery and performance by Seller 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). Seller has all necessary licenses, permits and other consents from Governmental Authorities necessary to acquire, originate, own and sell the Purchased Assets and other Purchased Items.

(xiii) Organizational Documents. Seller has delivered to Purchaser certified copies of its organization documents, together with all amendments thereto, if any.

(xiv) 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, in each case, except as contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

(xv) 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 an “affiliate” of either a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company of a holding company,” as such terms are defined in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005, as amended.

(xvi) Taxes. Seller has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns that, to the knowledge of Seller, would be delinquent if they had not been filed on or before the date hereof and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on or before the date hereof on such returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it and any of its assets by any Governmental Authority except for any such taxes as (A) are being appropriately contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP or (B) are de minimis in amount; no tax liens have been filed against any of Seller’s assets and, no claims are being asserted with respect to any such taxes, fees or other charges.

(xvii) ERISA. Seller does not have any Plans or any ERISA Affiliates and makes no contributions to any Plans or any Multiemployer Plans. Seller is not, and is not using any assets of, a “benefit plan investor” as defined in Department of Labor regulation 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA (a “Benefit Plan Investor”) in connection with any Transaction.

(xviii) Judgments/Bankruptcy. Except as disclosed in writing to Purchaser, there are no judgments against Seller unsatisfied of record or docketed in any court located in the United States of America and no Act of Insolvency has ever occurred with respect to Seller.

(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 in light of its stated business purpose, and (iii) will not result in debts that would be beyond Seller’s ability to pay as the same mature. Seller received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the transfer and sale of the Purchased Assets and the Purchased Items subject hereto. 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 otherwise on terms consistent with other similar agreements with other similarly situated entities.

(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, Guarantor, the Purchased Assets and the other Purchased Items, and to the knowledge of Seller with respect to any financial data concerning the Purchased Assets and the other Purchased Items that was provided to Seller by the related underlying borrower, that has been delivered by or on behalf of Seller to Purchaser is true, complete and correct in all material respects. All financial data concerning Seller and Guarantor has been prepared fairly in accordance with GAAP. All financial data concerning the Purchased Assets and the other Purchased Items, and to the knowledge of Seller with respect to any financial data concerning the Purchased Assets and the other Purchased Items that was provided to Seller by the related underlying borrower, has been prepared in accordance with standard industry practices. Since the delivery of such data, except as otherwise disclosed in writing to Purchaser, there has been no change in the financial position of Seller, Guarantor or in the results of operations of Seller or Guarantor, or to the knowledge of Seller, in the financial position of the Purchased Assets and the other Purchased Items, which change is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(xxiii) Selection Process. The Purchased Assets under this Agreement were not selected by Seller in a manner different from the manner in which Seller selects assets with regard to any other facilities to which it is a party or, in any event, so as to affect adversely the interests of Purchaser.

(xxiv) [Reserved].

(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 Purchaser as to any aspect of the Transactions, including without limitation, the legal, accounting or tax treatment of such Transactions.

(B) In order to enable Purchaser 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 represents that neither Seller, nor, to Seller’s actual knowledge, any of its Affiliates, is a Prohibited Investor, and Seller is not acting on behalf of or for the benefit of any Prohibited Investor.

(xxvii) Environmental Matters.

(A) No properties owned or leased by Seller and no properties formerly owned or leased by Seller, its predecessors, or any former Subsidiaries or predecessors thereof (the “Properties”), contain, or have previously contained, any Materials of Environmental Concern in amounts or concentrations which constitute or constituted a violation of, or reasonably could be expected to give rise to liability under, Environmental Laws;

(E) No judicial proceedings or governmental or administrative action under any Environmental Law is pending or, to the knowledge of Seller, threatened in writing to which Seller is or will be named as a party, nor are there any consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, or other administrative or judicial requirements arising out of judicial proceedings or governmental or administrative actions, outstanding under any Environmental Law to which Seller is a party;

(F) There has been no release of Materials of Environmental Concern in violation of or in amounts or in a manner that reasonably would be expected to give rise to liability under any Environmental Law for which Seller may become liable; and

(G) Each of the representations and warranties set forth in the preceding clauses (A) through (F) is true and correct with respect to each parcel of real property owned or operated by Seller.

(xxviii) Insider.

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, Purchaser may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Assets, and nothing contained herein shall (A) obligate Purchaser 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 Purchaser;

(iv) Seller shall be liable to Purchaser and its Affiliates and shall indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates for the amount (including in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement) of all losses, costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, actually incurred by Purchaser in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default with respect to Seller (but excluding any losses, costs or expenses incurred as a result of Purchaser’s gross negligence or willful misconduct);

(v) Purchaser 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, 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 Purchaser and Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets against all of Seller’s obligations to Purchaser under this Agreement, without prejudice to Purchaser’s right to recover any deficiency;

(vi) Purchaser may exercise any or all of the remedies available to Purchaser immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to 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 Purchaser may have; and

(vii) to the extent permissible by law, Purchaser may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Purchaser to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense 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. 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.

ARTICLE 14

SINGLE AGREEMENT

Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other. Accordingly, each of Purchaser and Seller agrees (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) that each of them shall be entitled to set off claims and apply property held by them in respect of any Transaction against obligations owing to them in respect of any other Transactions hereunder and (iii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted.

ARTICLE 15

RECORDING OF COMMUNICATIONS

EACH OF PURCHASER AND SELLER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT (BUT NOT THE OBLIGATION) FROM TIME TO TIME TO MAKE OR CAUSE TO BE MADE TAPE RECORDINGS OF COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN ITS EMPLOYEES, IF ANY, AND THOSE OF THE OTHER PARTY WITH RESPECT TO TRANSACTIONS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SUCH RIGHT TO RECORD COMMUNICATIONS SHALL BE LIMITED TO COMMUNICATIONS OF EMPLOYEES TAKING PLACE ON THE TRADING FLOOR OF THE APPLICABLE PARTY. EACH OF PURCHASER AND SELLER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE ADMISSIBILITY OF SUCH TAPE RECORDINGS IN ANY COURT, ARBITRATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDINGS, AND AGREES THAT A DULY AUTHENTICATED TRANSCRIPT OF SUCH A TAPE RECORDING SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A WRITING CONCLUSIVELY EVIDENCING THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT.

ARTICLE 16

NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS

Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices, consents, approvals and requests required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be effective for all purposes if sent by (a) hand delivery, with proof of delivery, (b) certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid, (c) expedited prepaid delivery service, either commercial or United States Postal Service, with proof of delivery, (d) by telecopier (with answerback acknowledged) provided that such telecopied notice must also be delivered by one of the means set forth in (a), (b) or (c) above, or (e) by electronic mail provided that such electronic mail notice must also be delivered by one of the means set forth in (a), (b) or (c) above, to the address specified in Exhibit I hereto or at such other address and person as shall be designated from time to time by any party hereto, as the case may be, in a written notice to the other parties hereto in the manner provided for in this Article 16. A notice shall be deemed to have been given: (v) in the case of hand delivery, at the time of delivery, (w) in the case of registered or certified mail, when delivered or the first attempted delivery on a Business Day, (x) in the case of expedited prepaid delivery upon the first attempted delivery on a Business Day, (y) in the case of telecopier, upon receipt of answerback confirmation, provided that such telecopied notice was also delivered as required in this Article 16 or (z) in the case of electronic mail, upon receipt of a verbal or electronic communication confirming receipt thereof, provided that such electronic mail notice was also delivered as required in this Article 16. A party receiving a notice that does not comply with the technical requirements for notice under this Article 16 may elect to waive any deficiencies and treat the notice as having been properly given.

ARTICLE 17

ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY

This Agreement shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions. Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.

ARTICLE 18

NON-ASSIGNABILITY

Seller may not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Purchaser and any attempt by Seller to assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Purchaser shall be null and void. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser may, without consent of Seller, but with five (5) Business Days prior notice to 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 Purchaser under this Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser 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 and its interest in the Purchased Assets, or any other interest of Purchaser under this Agreement. Seller agrees, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, to cooperate with Purchaser 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; provided, however, that, (i) such restatements, amendments, supplements and/or modifications shall be subject to Seller’s prior written approval as to form and substance and shall not materially alter any of Seller’s duties or obligations hereunder, (ii) Purchaser shall act as exclusive agent for all Transferees in any dealings with Seller in with any such proposed transactions and (iii) Seller shall not be obligated to deal directly with any party other than Purchaser in connection with such transactions, or to pay or reimburse Purchaser for any costs that would not have been incurred by Purchaser had no interest in such proposed transaction been issued.

ARTICLE 19

GOVERNING LAW

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS, AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS DOCTRINE APPLIED IN SUCH STATE (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-140 1 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK).

ARTICLE 20

NO WAIVERS, ETC.

No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either party shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto. Without limitation of any of the foregoing, the failure to give a notice pursuant to Articles 4(a) hereof will not constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later date.

ARTICLE 21

INTENT

(a) The parties recognize that (i) 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) and (ii) each of the Purchased Assets constitutes either a “mortgage loan” or “an interest in a mortgage” as such terms are used in Title 11 of the United States Code.

(b) The parties intend and acknowledge that either party’s right to cause the termination, liquidation or acceleration of, or to set-off or net termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations arising under, or in connection with, this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Article 13 is in each case a contractual right to cause or exercise such right as described in Sections 555, 559 and 561 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended.

(c) The parties intend 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) The parties intend and acknowledge 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) The parties intend and acknowledge 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) The parties intend and acknowledge that any provisions hereof or in any other document, agreement or instrument that is related in any way to this Agreement shall be deemed “related to” this Agreement within the meaning of Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(g) 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 to Seller, and that Seller be (except to the extent that Purchaser shall have exercised its remedies following an Event of Default) the owner of the Purchased Assets for such purposes. Unless prohibited by applicable law, Seller and Purchaser 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.

ARTICLE 22

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 Exchange 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

(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.

ARTICLE 23

CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

(a) Each party irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any United States Federal or New York State court sitting in Manhattan, and any appellate court from any such court, solely for the purpose of any suit, action or proceeding brought to enforce its obligations under this Agreement or relating in any way to this Agreement or any Transaction under this Agreement and (ii) waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court and any right of jurisdiction on account of its place of residence or domicile.

(b) To 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 each 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 23 shall affect the right of either party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of either party to bring any action or proceeding against the other party or its property in the courts of other jurisdictions.

(d) EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT DELIVERED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

ARTICLE 24

NO RELIANCE

Seller and Purchaser hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants (as to itself) to the other that, in connection with the negotiation of, the entering into, and the performance under, the Transaction Documents and each Transaction thereunder:

(a) It is not relying (for purposes of making any investment decision or otherwise) upon any advice, counsel or representations (whether written or oral) of the other party to the Transaction Documents, other than the representations expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents;

(b) It has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial and accounting advisors to the extent that it has deemed necessary, and it has made its own investment, hedging and trading decisions (including decisions regarding the suitability of any Transaction) based upon its own judgment and upon any advice from such advisors as it has deemed necessary and not upon any view expressed by the other party;

(c) It is a sophisticated and informed Person that has a full understanding of all the terms, conditions and risks (economic and otherwise) of the Transaction Documents and each Transaction thereunder and is capable of assuming and willing to assume (financially and otherwise) those risks;

(d) It is entering into the Transaction Documents and each Transaction thereunder for the purposes of managing its borrowings or investments or hedging its assets or liabilities and not for purposes of speculation; and

(e) It is not acting as a fiduciary or financial, investment or commodity trading advisor for the other party and has not given the other party (directly or indirectly through any other Person) any assurance, guarantee or representation whatsoever as to the merits (either legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial accounting or otherwise) of the Transaction Documents or any Transaction thereunder.

ARTICLE 25

INDEMNITY

Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Purchaser, Purchaser’s Affiliates and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, taxes (including stamp, excise, sales or other taxes that may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Purchased Assets, Purchased Items or Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the documents delivered in connection herewith, other than income, withholding or other taxes imposed upon Purchaser), fees, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) or disbursements (all of the foregoing, collectively “Indemnified Amounts”) that are at any time (including, without limitation, such time as this Agreement shall no longer be in effect and the Transactions shall have been repaid in full) imposed on or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any way whatsoever arising out of or in connection with, or relating to, or as a result of, this Agreement or any Transactions hereunder, the other Transaction Documents, an Event of Default with respect to Seller or any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Indemnified Party under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that Seller shall not be liable for Indemnified Amounts resulting from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party or from any default under any of the Transaction Documents by an Indemnified Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees to hold Purchaser harmless from and indemnify Purchaser against all Indemnified Amounts with respect to all Purchased Assets relating to or arising out of any violation or alleged violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation or any consumer credit laws, including without limitation ERISA, the Truth in Lending Act and/or the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, that, in each case, results from anything other than Purchaser’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Purchaser in connection with any Purchased Asset for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Asset, Seller will save, indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against all expense (including attorneys’ fees), loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by Seller of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from Seller. Seller also agrees to reimburse Purchaser as and when billed by Purchaser for all Purchaser’s reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement, any Transaction Documents or Transaction contemplated hereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel. Seller hereby acknowledges that the obligation of Seller hereunder is a recourse obligation of Seller.

If an Indemnified Party claims indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify Seller of such indemnification claim. After notice by any Indemnified Party, Seller shall defend such Indemnified Party against such indemnification claim (if requested by any Indemnified Party, in the name of the Indemnified Party) by attorneys and other professionals approved, in writing, by the Indemnified Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Indemnified Party may, in its sole discretion and at the expense of Seller, engage its own attorneys and other professionals to defend or assist it if such Indemnified Party determines that the defense as conducted by Seller is not proceeding or being diligently conducted in a commercially reasonable manner or that a conflict of interest exists between any of the parties represented by Seller’s counsel in such action or proceeding.

ARTICLE 26

DUE DILIGENCE

Seller acknowledges that, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to Seller, Purchaser has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Assets, the Seller, the Guarantor and any Servicer affiliated with Seller for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise. Seller agrees that upon reasonable prior notice, Seller, Guarantor and such Servicer shall provide reasonable access to Purchaser and any of its agents, representatives or permitted assigns to the offices of Seller, Guarantor and such Servicer during normal business hours and permit them to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of the Purchased Asset Files, Servicing Records and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession or under the control of Seller, Guarantor, and such Servicer and during such visit make available to them a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer of Seller, Guarantor or such Servicer, as the case may be, for the purpose of answering questions about any of the foregoing; provided however, unless an Event of Default (after all applicable grace, notice and/or cure period) has occurred and is continuing, such on-site inspections shall be limited to once per year.

Seller further agrees that, upon reasonable request from Purchaser, Seller shall provide Purchaser and any of its agents, representatives or permitted assigns with copies of the Purchased Asset Files, Servicing Records and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to the Purchased Assets and Seller, Guarantor and any Servicer affiliated with Seller in the possession or under the control of Seller, Guarantor and/or such Servicer in order to allow Purchaser to complete any continuing due diligence and make available to them by phone a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer of Seller, Guarantor or such Servicer, as the case may be, for the purpose of answering questions about any of the foregoing.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Purchaser may enter into Transactions with Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Purchaser and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Purchaser, 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. Purchaser may underwrite such Purchased Assets itself or engage a third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Purchaser and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. Seller further agrees to reimburse Purchaser for any and all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with continuing due diligence pursuant to this Article 26, which amounts shall be paid by Seller to Purchaser within five (5) Business Days after receipt of an invoice therefor, provided however, unless an Event of Default (after all applicable grace, notice and/or cure period) has occurred and is continuing, Seller shall not be required to reimburse continuing due diligence costs in excess of $10,000 per year.

ARTICLE 27

SERVICING

(a) Seller agrees that Purchaser is owner of all Servicing Rights so long as the Purchased Assets are subject to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be granted a revocable license (which license shall automatically be revoked (a) every thirty days unless Purchaser provides written notice to Seller that such license is extended for another thirty days or (b) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default) to cause Servicer to service the Purchased Assets pursuant to the Interim Servicing Agreement and in accordance with this Article 27 at Seller’s sole cost and for the benefit of Purchaser in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices approved by Purchaser in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment and maintained by other prudent mortgage lenders with respect to assets similar to the Purchased Assets. Purchaser agrees to renew Seller’s license to cause the Purchased Assets to be serviced so long as no Event of Default has occurred under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Seller nor such Servicer shall take any action or effect any modification or amendment to any Purchased Asset without first having given prior notice thereof to Purchaser in each such instance and receiving the prior written consent of Purchaser.

(b) The obligation of Servicer (or Seller to cause Servicer) to service any of the Purchased Assets shall cease upon the earliest of (i) Purchaser’s termination of Servicer in accordance with Article 27(c), (ii) Purchaser not extending Seller’s revocable license in accordance with Article 27(a), or (iii) the transfer of servicing to any other Servicer and the assumption of such servicing by such other Servicer. In such case, Seller shall take all actions necessary to effectuate the underlying servicing transfer as expeditiously as possible. Upon any termination of Servicer, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Seller shall at its sole cost and expense transfer the servicing of the effected Purchased Assets to another Servicer as expeditiously as possible.

(c) Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, terminate Servicer or any sub-servicer with respect to some or all of the Purchased Assets (i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under, and as defined in, the Interim Servicing Agreement, (ii) [reserved] or (iii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, either for cause or without cause, in each case, without payment of any penalty or termination fee and upon such termination, Servicer shall be required to transfer servicing of the effected Purchased Assets to such successor designated by Purchaser at no cost or expense to Purchaser. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, sell its right to the Purchased Assets on a servicing released basis. Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser in connection with the termination of Servicer.

(d) Seller agrees that Purchaser is the owner of all servicing records, including but not limited to the Interim Servicing Agreement, 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. Seller covenants to safeguard such Servicing Records and to deliver them promptly to Purchaser or its designee (including the Custodian) at Purchaser’s request.

(e) The payment of servicing fees shall be subordinate to payment of amounts outstanding under any Transaction and this Agreement.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, Seller does not retain economic or other beneficial rights to the Servicing Rights, other than Seller’s rights under the Interim Servicing Agreement. As such, Seller expressly acknowledges that the Purchased Assets are sold to Purchaser on a “servicing released” basis, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 28

MISCELLANEOUS

(a) All rights, remedies and powers of Purchaser 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 Purchaser 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, Purchaser 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.

(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 Purchaser under the Transaction Documents, Seller shall pay Purchaser’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. Seller agrees to pay Purchaser promptly 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 Purchaser of any obligations of 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 Purchaser in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise. In addition, Seller agrees to pay Purchaser promptly all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable expenses for legal services) incurred in connection with the maintenance of the Collection Account and registering the Collateral and Purchased Items in the name of Purchaser or its nominee. All such expenses shall be recourse obligations of Seller to Purchaser 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, Seller hereby grants to Purchaser and its Affiliates a right of offset, to secure repayment of all amounts owing to Purchaser or its Affiliates by Seller under the Transaction Documents, upon any and all monies, securities, collateral or other property of Seller and the proceeds therefrom, now or hereafter held or received by Purchaser or its Affiliates or any entity under the control of Purchaser or its Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, branches and agencies of Purchaser, wherever located), for the account of Seller, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection, or otherwise, and also upon any and all deposits (general or specified) and credits of Seller at any time existing. Purchaser 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 Seller, to offset, appropriate, apply and enforce such right of offset against any and all items hereinabove referred to against any amounts owing to Purchaser or its Affiliates by Seller under the Transaction Documents, irrespective of whether Purchaser 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. Seller shall be deemed directly indebted to Purchaser and its Affiliates in the full amount of all amounts owing to Purchaser and its Affiliates by Seller under the Transaction Documents, and Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be entitled to exercise the rights of offset provided for above. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE PURCHASER OR ITS AFFILIATES TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL OR PURCHASED ITEMS THAT SECURE THE AMOUNTS OWING TO PURCHASER OR ITS AFFILIATES BY 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 SELLER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED BY SELLER.

(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) Unless otherwise specifically enumerated, wherever pursuant to this Agreement Purchaser 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, Purchaser in its sole discretion, Purchaser 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 Purchaser shall be final and conclusive.
