Section 2.07       Lender’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact. (a)  Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Pledgor and in the name of Pledgor or in its own name, from time to time in Lender’s discretion if an Event of Default or Trigger Event shall have occurred and be continuing, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Pledgor hereby gives Lender the power and right, on behalf of Pledgor, without assent by, but with notice to, Pledgor to do the following:

 

(i)          in the name of Pledgor or its own name, or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due with respect to any Collateral and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Lender for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any Collateral whenever payable;

(iii)         to the extent permitted under the Master Spread Acquisition Agreement, to request that Xxxxxx Xxx Servicing Rights be transferred to Lender or to another servicer approved by Xxxxxx Mae and perform (without assuming or being deemed to have assumed any of the obligations of Servicer thereunder) all aspects of each Servicing Contract to which the Portfolio Excess Spread relates;

(v)          to deal with third parties, including, without limitation, investors and any and all subservicers and master servicers in respect of any of the Collateral in the same manner and with the same effect as if done by Pledgor;

(vi)           to direct any party liable for any payment under any Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Lender or as Lender shall direct; (B) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Pledgor with respect to any Collateral; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Lender may deem appropriate; and (G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though Lender were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Lender’s option and Pledgor’s expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Lender deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Lender’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Pledgor might do.

 

(b)            Pledgor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until such time as all Obligations have been paid in full and this Agreement is terminated.

 

(c)             Pledgor also authorizes Lender, at any time and from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 2.09 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.

 

(d)            The powers conferred on Lender are solely to protect Lender’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Lender to exercise any such powers. Lender shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither Lender nor any of its officers, directors, or employees shall be responsible to Pledgor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for Lender’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

(e)             In addition to the foregoing, Pledgor agrees to execute a power of attorney (the “Power of Attorney”) in favor of Lender in the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto to be delivered on the date hereof and in favor of SPS in the form of Exhibit A-2 hereto to be delivered on the date hereof.

 

Section 2.08       Proceeds. 

 

(a)             If an Event of Default or Trigger Event shall occur and be continuing, (a) all proceeds of Collateral received by Pledgor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by Pledgor in trust for Lender, segregated from other funds of Pledgor, and shall forthwith upon receipt by Pledgor be remitted to the Dedicated Account in the exact form received by Pledgor (duly endorsed by Pledgor to Lender, if required) and (b) any and all such proceeds received by Lender (whether from Pledgor or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of Lender, be held by Lender as collateral security for, and/or then or at any time thereafter may be applied by Lender against, the Obligations (whether matured or unmatured), such application to be in such order as Lender shall elect. Any balance of such proceeds remaining after the Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Agreement shall have been terminated shall be remitted in accordance with Loan Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the Servicer shall be solely responsible for remitting to the Pledgor any amounts owed the Pledgor. In no event shall the Lender be accountable to the Pledgor for any excess proceeds, which the Pledgor acknowledges, may be remitted by the Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents.

 

12
 

 

(b)            Each of Pledgor and Servicer acknowledges and agrees that all amounts with respect to the Portfolio Excess Spread and related Servicing Rights shall be remitted by Servicer to the Dedicated Account to be applied by Lender in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.

 

Section 2.09       Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (including without limitation, Lender’s rights to a strict foreclosure under Section 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender may seek the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee, or similar official in respect of any of the Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required under this Agreement or by law referred to below) to or upon Pledgor or any other Person (each and all of which demands, presentments, protests, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels or as an entirety at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. Pledgor further agrees, at Lender’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at places which Lender shall reasonably select, whether at Pledgor’s premises or elsewhere. Lender shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable (under the circumstances) out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every kind actually incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Lender hereunder, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as Lender may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by Lender of any other amount required or permitted by any provision of law, including without limitation Section 9-615 of the Uniform Commercial Code, need Lender account for the surplus, if any, to the Servicer as agent for the Pledgor. To the extent that there are any excess proceeds resulting from any collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale of the Collateral by Lender after satisfaction of all Obligations, Lender shall remit such excess to the Servicer. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Pledgor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Lender arising out of the exercise by Lender of any of its rights hereunder, other than those claims, damages and demands arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days before such sale or other disposition. Pledgor shall not be liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations, it being understood that the sole recourse of the Lender to the Pledgor hereunder for the Obligations (other than for Pledgor’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) shall be to the Collateral pledged by the Pledgor hereunder.

Section 2.10       Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral. Lender’s duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Lender deals with similar property for its own account. Neither Lender nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Pledgor or otherwise.

 

Section 2.11       Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.

 

Section 2.12       Release of Security Interest. Upon the latest to occur of (a) the repayment of the Loan, and (b) the occurrence of the Termination Date, Lender shall release its security interest in any remaining Collateral hereunder and shall promptly execute and deliver to Borrower such documents or instruments as Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such release; provided that, such release shall not be required until such time as the Acknowledgment Agreement is terminated.

 

Section 2.13       Reinstatement. All security interests created by this Article II shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Pledgor or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Pledgor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as if such release had not been made.

 

Section 2.14       Use of Collateral. Lender and Pledgor hereby acknowledge and agree that should any Collateral be liquidated or foreclosed upon by Lender, Lender shall apply the Proceeds of such Collateral to the Obligations.

ARTICLE III 


rECOURSE; SUBORDINATION

 

Section 3.01       Recourse. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained or implied herein or in any other Loan Document, Lender’s recourse against Pledgor in order to satisfy the Obligations shall be limited to the Collateral that is the subject of this Agreement and its recourse as against the Pledgor Guarantor shall be as more particularly described in the Pledgor Guaranty Agreement; provided that such limitation shall not extend to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Pledgor.

 

Section 3.02       Subordination in Connection with Financing.  

 

(a)             It is anticipated that in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, that (x) the Pledgor has purchased the Collateral from the Servicer subject to the first priority Lien of the Lender and (y) Pledgor hereby reaffirms such lien and pledges its interest in such Collateral hereunder to the Lender. In connection with the foregoing Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that its rights with respect to the Collateral (including without limitation its security interest in the Portfolio Excess Spread and pursuant to the Master Spread Acquisition Agreement and any other collateral purchased by Pledgor thereunder and in which a security interest is granted to Lender pursuant to Section 2.01) are and shall continue to be at all times junior and subordinate to the rights of Lender under the Loan Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, notwithstanding any rights or remedies available to Pledgor thereunder or under the Master Spread Acquisition Agreement, applicable law or otherwise, Pledgor shall not, directly or indirectly, exercise any remedies available to it under the Master Spread Acquisition Agreement or at law or equity for ninety-one (91) days following the date that all Obligations are paid in full under the Loan Documents; provided that nothing in the foregoing shall prohibit Pledgor from receiving, payments with respect to the obligations under the Master Spread Acquisition Agreement as, and in the manner, contemplated therein, but subject to the prior rights of the Lender hereunder and under the Loan Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, in no instance shall the Lender succeed to any liabilities or obligations of Pledgor under the Master Spread Acquisition Agreement.

 

(b)             In furtherance of the foregoing, Pledgor agrees to not assert any objection to, and shall be deemed to have otherwise consented to, a disposition of any assets subject to the Master Spread Acquisition Agreement and subject to the Loan Documents during an Act of Insolvency of Pledgor or the Servicer, free and clear of any lien, encumbrance, pledge or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar bankruptcy law) if Lender has consented to such disposition.

 

(c)             If an Act of Insolvency of Pledgor or the Servicer occurs, the Pledgor agrees not to contest (or support any other Person contesting) any request by Lender for adequate protection, or any objection by Lender to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on Lender claiming a lack of adequate protection.

 

(d)             Until the obligations under the Loan Documents are paid in full, the Pledgor shall not oppose any request by Lender for relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Act of Insolvency of Pledgor or the Servicer.

 

15
 

(e)             Pledgor shall not oppose or seek to challenge any claim by Lender for allowance and payment in any Act of Insolvency of Pledgor or the Servicer, of obligations under the Loan Documents consisting of post-petition interest, fees, costs or other charges to the extent of the value of Lender’s lien, encumbrance, pledge or other claims on the assets that are the subject of this Agreement or the Loan Agreement, without regard to the existence of a lien, encumbrance, pledge or other claims of Pledgor applicable to the obligations of the other parties to the Loan Documents.

 

(f)             Pledgor shall not seek in any Act of Insolvency of Pledgor or the Servicer, to be treated as part of the same class of creditors as Lender and shall not oppose any pleading or motion by Lender advocating that Lender and Pledgor and the Servicer should be treated as separate classes of creditors. Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that its rights with respect to the Collateral are and shall continue to be at all times junior and subordinate to the rights of Lender under this Agreement.

(b)            Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Pledgor shall comply with all applicable local, state and federal laws, including, without limitation, all privacy and data protection law, rules and regulations that are applicable to the Collateral and/or any applicable terms of this Agreement (the “Confidential Information”). Pledgor understands that the Confidential Information may contain “nonpublic personal information”, as that term is defined in Section 509(4) of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act (the “Act”), and Pledgor agrees to maintain such nonpublic personal information that it receives hereunder in accordance with the Act and other applicable federal and state privacy laws. Pledgor shall implement such physical and other security measures as shall be necessary to (a) ensure the security and confidentiality of the “nonpublic personal information” of the “customers” and “consumers” (as those terms are defined in the Act) of Lender or any Affiliate of Lender which Pledgor holds, (b) protect against any threats or hazards to the security and integrity of such nonpublic personal information, and (c) protect against any unauthorized access to or use of such nonpublic personal information. Pledgor represents and warrants that it has implemented appropriate measures to meet the objectives of Section 501(b) of the Act and of the applicable standards adopted pursuant thereto, as now or hereafter in effect. Upon request, Pledgor will provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to allow Lender to confirm that the providing party has satisfied its obligations as required under this section. Without limitation, this may include Lender’s review of audits, summaries of test results, and other equivalent evaluations of Pledgor. Pledgor shall notify Lender immediately following discovery of any breach or compromise of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of nonpublic personal information of the customers and consumers of Lender or any Affiliate of Lender provided directly to Pledgor by Lender or such Affiliate. Pledgor shall provide such notice to Lender by personal delivery, by facsimile with confirmation of receipt, or by overnight courier with confirmation of receipt to the applicable requesting individual.

Section 9.12       Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender hereunder and by law, Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Pledgor, any such notice being expressly waived by Pledgor to the extent permitted by applicable law to set-off and appropriate and apply against any Obligation from Pledgor or any Affiliate thereof to Lender or any of its Affiliates any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other obligation (including to return funds to Pledgor), credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by or due from Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Pledgor or any Affiliate thereof. Lender agrees promptly to notify Pledgor after any such set off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application.

 

Section 9.13       Amendment and Restatement. The terms and provisions of the Existing Security Agreement are hereby amended and restated in their entirety by the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
