(j) If, on any Business Day, Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) (a) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR; or (b) that LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Purchaser of entering into or maintaining outstanding Transactions; or (c) that it has become unlawful for any Purchaser to honor its obligation to enter into or maintain outstanding Transactions hereunder using LIBOR, then Agent shall give notice thereof to Seller by telephone, facsimile, or other electronic means as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until Agent notifies Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, the Pricing Rate included in any Confirmation with respect to new Transactions and in any calculation of the Price Differential with respect to outstanding Transactions will be determined, subject to the timely approval of Seller after receipt of notice of such revised rate, at a rate per annum that Purchaser determines in its reasonable discretion adequately reflects the cost to Purchaser of making or maintaining such Transactions.

CONFIRMATION

In the event that parties hereto desire to enter into a Transaction on terms other than as set forth in this Agreement, the parties shall execute a confirmation prior to entering into such Transaction, which confirmation shall be in a form that is mutually acceptable to the Purchaser and Seller and shall specify such terms, including, without limitation, the Purchase Date, the Purchase Price, the Pricing Rate therefor and the Repurchase Date (a “Confirmation”). Any such Confirmation and the related Transaction Notice, together with this Agreement, shall constitute conclusive evidence of the terms agreed to between Purchaser and Seller with respect to the Transaction to which the Confirmation relates. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and a Confirmation, the terms of the Confirmation shall control with respect to the related Transaction.

TAKEOUT COMMITMENTS

Seller hereby assigns to Purchaser, free of any security interest, lien, claim or encumbrance of any kind, Seller’s rights under each Takeout Commitment to deliver the Purchased Assets specified therein to the related Takeout Investor and to receive the purchase price therefor from such Takeout Investor. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a duly executed and enforceable Trade Assignment on the date such Trade Assignment is executed by the related Takeout Investor. Subject to Purchaser’s rights hereunder, Purchaser agrees that it will satisfy the obligation under the Takeout Commitment to deliver the related Purchased Assets to the Takeout Investor on the Settlement Date specified therein. Seller understands that, as a result of this Section 5 and each Trade Assignment, Purchaser will succeed to the rights and obligations of Seller with respect to each Takeout Commitment subject to a Trade Assignment, and that in satisfying each such Takeout Commitment, Purchaser will stand in the shoes of Seller and, consequently, will be acting as a non-dealer in exercising its rights and fulfilling its obligations assigned pursuant to this Section 5 and each Trade Assignment. Each Trade Assignment delivered by Seller to Purchaser shall be delivered by Seller in a timely manner sufficient to enable Purchaser to facilitate the settlement of the related trade on the trade date in accordance with “good delivery standards” of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association as set forth in the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association Uniform Practices Manual, as amended from time to time.

PAYMENT AND TRANSFER

(a) Unless otherwise agreed by Seller and Purchaser, all transfers of funds hereunder shall be in Dollars in immediately available funds. Seller shall remit (or, if applicable, shall cause to be remitted) directly to the Purchaser all payments required to be made by it to the Purchaser hereunder or under any other Program Document in accordance with wire instructions provided by the Purchaser. Any payments received by Purchaser after 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall be applied on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b) The Settlement Agent will aggregate and disburse funds directly in accordance with the Closing Protection Letter with respect to Wet-Ink Mortgage Loans that are subject to a Transaction hereunder.

MARGIN MAINTENANCE

(a) Agent shall determine the Market Value of the Purchased Assets on a daily basis as determined by Agent in its sole discretion.

(b) If, as of any date of determination, the lesser of (a) 100% of the Principal Balance of the Eligible Mortgage Loans and (b) the aggregate Market Value of all related Purchased Assets subject to all Transactions, multiplied by the applicable Purchase Price Percentage is less than the Repurchase Price (excluding accrued Price Differential) for all such Transactions (a “Margin Deficit”), then Agent may, by notice to the Seller (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Margin Call”), require Seller to transfer to the Purchaser or Purchaser’s designee cash or, at Purchaser’s option (and provided Seller has additional Eligible Mortgage Loans), additional Eligible Mortgage Loans to Purchaser (“Additional Purchased Mortgage Loans”) to cure the Margin Deficit. If the Agent delivers a Margin Call to the Seller on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, then the Seller shall transfer cash or Additional Purchased Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser or its designee no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the same Business Day. In the event the Agent delivers a Margin Call to Seller after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, Seller shall be required to transfer cash or Additional Purchased Mortgage Loans no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the next succeeding Business Day.

(c) Any cash transferred to the Purchaser or its designee pursuant to Section 16(f)(ii) herein shall reduce the Repurchase Price of the related Transactions.

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

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby understood and agreed that Seller shall be responsible for satisfying any Margin Deficit existing as a result of any reduction of the Principal Balance of any Purchased Asset pursuant to any action by any bankruptcy court.

TAXES; TAX TREATMENT

(a) All payments made by Seller and Guarantor under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto imposed by any Governmental Authority therewith or thereon, excluding income taxes, branch profits taxes, franchise taxes or any other tax imposed on net income by the United States, a state or a foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which the Purchaser is organized or of its applicable lending office, or a state or foreign jurisdiction with respect to which Purchaser has a present or former connection (other than any connection arising from executing, delivering, being party to, engaging in any transaction pursuant to, performing its obligations under or enforcing any Program Document), or any political subdivision thereof or taxes imposed under FATCA (collectively, such non-excluded taxes are hereinafter called “Taxes”), all of which shall be paid by Seller or Guarantor for its own account not later than the date when due. If Seller or Guarantor is required by law or regulation to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder, it shall: (a) make such deduction or withholding, (b) pay the amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority not later than the date when due, (c) deliver to the Purchaser, promptly, original tax receipts and other evidence satisfactory to the Purchaser of the payment when due of the full amount of such Taxes; and (d) except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 8(d) below, pay to the Purchaser such additional amounts (including all Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority on such additional amounts) as may be necessary so that Purchaser receives, free and clear of all Taxes, a net amount equal to the amount it would have received under this Agreement, as if no such deduction or withholding had been made.

(b) In addition, Seller and Guarantor agree to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including, without limitation, mortgage recording taxes, transfer taxes and similar fees) imposed by any taxing authority that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement except such taxes imposed with respect to an assignment as a result of a present or former connection between Purchaser and the jurisdiction imposing such taxes (other than connections arising from 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 Program Document, or sold or assigned any Purchased Asset or Program Document) (“Other Taxes”).

(c) Seller and Guarantor agree to indemnify the Purchaser for the full amount of Taxes (including additional amounts with respect thereto) and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 8, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses arising thereon or with respect thereto) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, provided, that the Purchaser shall have provided Seller and Guarantor with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to the Seller and Guarantor, of payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, as the case may be.

(d) Any Purchaser that is either (i) not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia or (ii) not otherwise treated as a “United States person” under the Code (a “Foreign Purchaser”) shall provide Seller and Agent with original properly completed and duly executed United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Forms W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI or any successor form prescribed by the IRS (or IRS Form W-8IMY, with IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI attached), certifying that such Person is either (1) entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which eliminates United States withholding tax under Sections 1441 through 1442 of the Code on payments to it or (2) otherwise fully exempt from United States withholding tax under Sections 1441 through 1442 of the Code on payments to it or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States in either case, on or prior to the date upon which each such Foreign Purchaser becomes a Purchaser. Each Foreign Purchaser will resubmit the appropriate form eliminating withholding tax on payments to it on the earliest of (A) the third anniversary of the prior submission, or (B) on or before the expiration of thirty (30) days after there is a “change in circumstances” with respect to such Person as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.1441-1(e)(4)(ii)(D). For any period with respect to which the Foreign Purchaser has failed to provide Seller and Guarantor with the appropriate form or other relevant document as expressly required under this Section 8(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided under the first sentence of this Section 8(d) or except to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 8, amounts payable with respect to such taxes were payable to Purchaser’s assignor immediately before Purchaser became a party hereto) such Person shall not be entitled to “gross-up” of Taxes under Section 8(a) or indemnification under Section 8(c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States which are imposed because of such failure; provided, however, that should a Foreign Purchaser, which is otherwise exempt from a withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, Seller or Guarantor, as applicable, shall, at no cost or expense to Seller or Guarantor, take such steps as such Foreign Purchaser shall reasonably request to assist such Foreign Purchaser to recover such Taxes. Upon the execution of this Agreement, each Purchaser that is a “United States person” within the meaning of the Code shall deliver to Seller and Guarantor a duly executed original of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable laws or reasonably requested by Seller or Guarantor as will enable Seller or Guarantor, as applicable, to determine whether or not Purchaser is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Unless Seller or Guarantor has received such forms or other documents or information as required by this Section 8(d) to establish Purchaser’s exception from backup withholding tax, Seller or Guarantor, as applicable, shall not be required to pay additional sums or indemnify Purchaser for any backup amount withheld.

(e) If a payment made to Purchaser under this Agreement would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if Agent or Purchaser were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), Purchaser shall deliver to Seller and Guarantor at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Seller or Guarantor such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Seller or Guarantor as may be necessary for Seller and Guarantor to comply with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller or Guarantor hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Seller and Guarantor contained in this Section 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 8 shall require Purchaser to make available any of its tax returns or other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

(g) Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent solely for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Assets and that the Purchased Assets are owned by Seller in the absence of an Event of Default by Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law.

SECURITY INTEREST; PURCHASER’S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT

(a) Seller and Purchaser intend that (other than for tax and accounting purposes) 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 this Agreement in the event that a court or other forum recharacterizes the Transactions hereunder as other than sales, and as security for Seller’s performance of all of its Obligations, Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a first priority security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchased Assets, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising. Seller acknowledges and agrees that its rights with respect to the Purchased Assets are and shall continue to be at all times junior and subordinate to the rights of the Purchaser hereunder.

(b) Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Purchaser 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 Seller and in the name of Seller or in its own name, from time to time in Purchaser’s discretion, to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Purchased Assets as Purchaser at its option may deem appropriate, and if an Event of Default 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 reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby gives Purchaser the power and right, on behalf of Seller, without assent by, but with notice to, Seller, to do the following if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Purchaser has elected to exercise its remedies pursuant to Section 18 hereof:

(i) in the name of Seller, or in 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 Purchased Assets and to file any claim or to take any other action or initiate and maintain any appropriate proceeding in any appropriate court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Purchaser for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any Purchased Assets whenever payable;

(ii) to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Purchased Assets;

(iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Purchased Assets to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Purchaser or as Purchaser shall direct, (B) in the name of Seller, or in its own name, or otherwise as appropriate, to directly send or cause the applicable servicer to send “hello” letters, “goodbye” letters in the form of Exhibit D, and Section 404 Notices; (C) 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 Purchased Assets; (D) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any Purchased Assets; (E) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Purchased Assets or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Purchased Assets; (F) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Seller with respect to any Purchased Assets; (G) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (F) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Purchaser may deem appropriate; and (H) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Purchased Assets as fully and completely as though Purchaser was the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Purchaser’s option and Seller’s expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Purchaser deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Purchased Assets and Purchaser’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Seller might do.

Seller 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.

Seller also authorizes Purchaser, from time to time if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to execute any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Purchased Assets in connection with any sale provided for in Section 18 hereof.

The powers conferred on Purchaser hereunder are solely to protect Purchaser’s interests in the Purchased Assets and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Purchaser shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither Purchaser nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Seller for any act or failure to act hereunder.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Each of the Seller and Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser and Agent, and shall on and as of the Purchase Date for any Transaction and on and as of each date thereafter through and including the related Repurchase Date be deemed to represent and warrant to Purchaser and Agent that:

(a) Due Organization, Qualification, Power, Authority and Due Authorization. Each of the Seller and Guarantor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and it has qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which it is legally required to do so. Each of the Seller and Guarantor has the power and authority under its certificate of incorporation, bylaws (or equivalent documents) and applicable law to enter into this Agreement and the Program Documents and to perform all acts contemplated hereby and thereby or in connection herewith and therewith; this Agreement and the Program Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action and do not require any additional approvals or consents or other action by, or any notice to or filing with, any Person other than any that have heretofore been obtained, given or made.

(b) Noncontravention. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and Program Documents are in the ordinary course of business of each of the Seller and Guarantor and will not conflict with, result in the breach of or violate any provision of the charter or by-laws (or equivalent documents) of each of the Seller and Guarantor or result in the breach of any provision of, or conflict with or constitute a default under or result in the acceleration of any obligation under, any agreement, indenture, loan or credit agreement or other instrument to which Seller or Guarantor, the Purchased Assets or any of Seller’s Property or Guarantor’s Property is or may be subject, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which Seller or Guarantor, the Purchased Assets or Seller’s Property or Guarantor’s Property is subject. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein or therein will not violate any policy, regulation or guideline of the FHA or VA or result in the voiding or reduction of the FHA insurance, VA guarantee or any other insurance or guarantee in respect of any Mortgage Loan, and such FHA insurance or VA guarantee is in full force and effect or shall be in full force and effect as required by the applicable Agency Guide.

(c) Legal Proceeding. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in equity, or before or by any court, public board or body pending or, to Seller’s knowledge or Guarantor’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting Seller or Guarantor (or, to Seller’s knowledge or Guarantor’s knowledge, any basis therefor) wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would adversely affect the validity of the Purchased Assets or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Program Documents or any agreement or instrument to which Seller is a party and which is used or contemplated for use in the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, would adversely affect the proceedings of Seller in connection herewith or would or could materially and adversely affect Seller’s ability or Guarantor’s ability to carry out its obligations hereunder.

(d) Valid and Binding Obligations. This Agreement, the Program Documents and every other document to be executed by Seller or Guarantor in connection with this Agreement is and will be legal, valid, binding and subsisting obligations of Seller or Guarantor, as applicable, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except that (A) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and (B) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

(e) Financial Statements. The financial statements of each of Seller and Guarantor, copies of which have been furnished to Purchaser, (i) are, as of the dates and for the periods referred to therein, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) present fairly the financial condition and results of operations of Seller as of the dates and for the periods indicated and (iii) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, except as noted therein (subject as to interim statements to normal year-end adjustments). Since the date of the most recent financial statements, there has been no Material Adverse Change with respect to Seller or Guarantor. Except as disclosed in such financial statements or pursuant to Section 14(i) hereof, neither Seller nor Guarantor is subject to any contingent liabilities or commitments that, individually or in the aggregate, have a material possibility of causing a Material Adverse Change with respect to Seller.

(f) Accuracy of Information. Neither this Agreement nor any representations and warranties or information relating to Seller or Guarantor that Seller or Guarantor has delivered or caused to be delivered to Purchaser, including, but not limited to, all documents related to this Agreement, the Program Documents or Seller’s or Guarantor’s financial statements, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made therein or herein in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Since the furnishing of such documents or information, there has been no change, nor any development or event involving a prospective change that would render any of such documents or information untrue or misleading in any material respect.

(g) No Consents.

(e) Collection Account. Prior to the initial Purchase Date, Servicer shall establish and maintain a separate account (the “Collection Account”) with the Bank in the Agent’s name for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Purchaser. Such account shall be subject to the Collection Account Control Agreement. The Servicer shall deposit or credit to the Collection Account all amounts collected on account of the Mortgage Loans within two (2) Business Days of receipt, and to remit such collections in accordance with Section 16(f) hereof. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such amounts shall be deposited or credited irrespective of any right of setoff or counterclaim arising in favor of Servicer (or any third party claiming through it) under any other agreement or arrangement. Amounts on deposit in the Collection Account shall be distributed as provided in Section 16(f).

(f) Income Payments.

(i) Where a particular term of a Transaction extends over the date on which Income is paid in respect of any Purchased Asset subject to that Transaction, (i) Seller shall deposit or cause to be deposited such Income into the Collection Account no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof, and (ii) such Income shall be the property of the Purchaser subject to subsections 16(f)(ii), (iii) and (iv) below. The Collection Account shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Collection Account Control Agreement.

(ii) Except as otherwise provided in Section 16(f)(iv), on the Monthly Payment Date, Purchaser shall cause amounts deposited in the Collection Account to be released to Seller, which amounts shall be applied by Seller to (A) reduce outstanding Price Differential due and payable in respect of Purchased Assets for which the Purchaser has received the related Repurchase Price (other than Price Differential) pursuant to Section 3(g) during the prior calendar month, (B) pay all other Obligations then due and payable to Purchaser, and (C) release any excess to Seller.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Collection Account Control Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall in no event cause amounts deposited in the Collection Account to be released to Seller to the extent that such action would result in the creation of a Margin Deficit (unless prior thereto or simultaneously therewith Seller cures such Margin Deficit in accordance with Section 7), or if an Event of Default is then continuing. Further, if an uncured Margin Deficit exists as of such Monthly Payment Date, the Purchaser shall cause the Bank to disburse the Income related to the Transaction for which the Margin Deficit exists to the Purchaser (up to the amount of such Margin Deficit), which amounts shall be applied by the Purchaser to reduce the related Repurchase Price.

(iv) If Successor Servicer takes delivery of such Mortgage Loans either under the circumstances set forth in Section 16(i) or otherwise, all amounts deposited in the Custodial Account shall be paid to the Purchaser promptly upon such delivery.

(g) Reserved.

(h) Reserved.

(i) Servicer Termination. Purchaser, in its sole discretion, may terminate Servicer’s rights and obligations as subservicer of the affected Mortgage Loans and require Servicer to deliver the related Servicing Records to Purchaser or its designee upon the occurrence of (i) an Event of Default or (ii) upon the expiration of the Servicing Term as set forth in Section 16(b) by delivering written notice to Seller requiring such termination. Such termination shall be effective upon Servicer’s receipt of such written notice; provided, that Servicer’s subservicing rights shall be terminated immediately upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, regardless of whether notice of such event shall have been given to or by Purchaser or Servicer. Upon any such termination, all authority and power of Servicer respecting its rights to subservice and duties under this Agreement relating thereto, shall pass to and be vested in the successor servicer appointed by Purchaser (the “Successor Servicer”) and Purchaser is hereby authorized and empowered to transfer such rights to subservice the Mortgage Loans for such price and on such terms and conditions as Purchaser shall reasonably determine. Servicer shall promptly take such actions and furnish to Purchaser such documents that Purchaser deems necessary or appropriate to enable Purchaser to enforce such Mortgage Loans and shall perform all acts and take all actions so that the Mortgage Loans and all files and documents relating to such Mortgage Loans held by Servicer, together with all escrow amounts relating to such Mortgage Loans, are delivered to Successor Servicer, including but not limited to preparing, executing and delivering to the Successor Servicer any and all documents and other instruments, placing in the Successor Servicer’s possession all Servicing Records pertaining to such Mortgage Loans and doing or causing to be done, all at Seller’s sole expense. To the extent that the approval of the Applicable Agency is required for any such sale or transfer, Seller and Servicer shall fully cooperate with Purchaser to obtain such approval. All amounts paid by any purchaser of such rights to service or subservice the Mortgage Loans shall be the Property of Purchaser. The subservicing rights required to be delivered to Successor Servicer in accordance with this Section 16(i) shall be delivered free of any servicing rights in favor of Seller or Servicer or any third party (other than Purchaser) and free of any title, interest, lien, encumbrance or claim of any kind of Seller or Servicer other than record title to the Mortgages relating to the Mortgage Loans and the right and obligation to repurchase the Mortgage Loans hereunder. No exercise by Purchaser of its rights under this Section 16(i) shall relieve Seller or Servicer of responsibility or liability for any breach of this Agreement.

17.

18.

REMEDIES

Upon the occurrence of (i) an Event of Default (other than that referred to in Section 17(f)), the Purchaser, at its option, shall have the right to exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies and (ii) an Event of Default referred to in Section 17(f), the following rights and remedies shall immediately and automatically take effect without any further action by any Person.

(a) (i) The Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (except that, in the event that the Purchase Date for any Transaction has not yet occurred as of the date of such exercise or deemed exercise, such Transaction shall be deemed immediately canceled). Seller’s Obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Assets at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date in such Transactions shall thereupon become immediately due and payable; all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be remitted to and retained by the Purchaser and applied to the aggregate Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder; Seller shall immediately deliver to Purchaser or its designee any and all original papers, records and files relating to the Purchased Assets subject to such Transaction then in its possession and/or control; and all right, title and interest in and entitlement to such Purchased Assets and Servicing Rights thereon shall become Property of the Purchaser.

(ii) Purchaser may (A) sell, on or following the Business Day following the date on which the Repurchase Price becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 18(a)(i) without notice or demand of any kind, at a public or private sale and at such price or prices as Purchaser may reasonably deem satisfactory, any or all or portions of the Purchased Assets on a servicing-released or servicing-retained basis, as Purchaser may determine in its sole discretion and/or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Assets (including credit for the Servicing Rights in respect of sales on a servicing-retained basis) in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Assets against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder. Seller shall remain liable to Purchaser for any amounts that remain owing to Purchaser following a sale and/or credit under the preceding sentence. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets shall be applied first to the reasonable costs and expenses including but not limited to legal fees incurred by Purchaser in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default; second to costs of cover and/or related hedging transactions; third to the aggregate Repurchase Prices; and fourth to all other Obligations.

(iii) The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Assets may not be liquid. In view of these characteristics of the Purchased Assets, the parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or the underlying 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 the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Asset and nothing contained herein shall obligate Purchaser to liquidate any Purchased Asset upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or to liquidate all Purchased Assets in the same manner or on the same Business Day or shall constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement agree that the Transactions have been entered into in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual obligation and that each Transaction has been entered into in consideration of the other Transactions.

(iv) The Purchaser may terminate the Agreement.

(b) Seller hereby acknowledges, admits and agrees that Seller’s obligations under this Agreement are recourse obligations of Seller. In addition to its rights hereunder, Purchaser shall have the right to proceed against any of Seller’s assets which may be in the possession of Purchaser, any of Purchaser’s Affiliates or their designees (including the Custodian), including the right to liquidate such assets and to set-off the proceeds against monies owed by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. Purchaser may set off cash, the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets and Additional Purchased Mortgage Loans and all other sums or obligations owed by Purchaser to Seller or against all of Seller’s Obligations to Purchaser, or Seller’s obligations to Purchaser under any other agreement among the parties, or otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Purchaser’s right to recover any deficiency.

(c) Purchaser shall have the right to obtain physical possession of the Records and all other files of Seller relating to the Purchased Assets and all documents relating to the Purchased Assets which are then or may thereafter come into the possession of Seller or any third party acting for Seller and Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser such assignments as the Purchaser shall request.

(d) Purchaser shall have the right to direct all Persons servicing the Purchased Assets to take such action with respect to the Purchased Assets as Purchaser determines appropriate, including, without limitation, using its rights under a power of attorney granted pursuant to Section 9(b) hereof.

(e) Purchaser shall, without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations, be entitled to the appointment of a receiver by any court having jurisdiction, without notice, to take possession of and protect, collect, manage, liquidate, and sell the Purchased Assets or any portion thereof, collect the payments due with respect to the Purchased Assets or any portion thereof, and do anything that Purchaser is authorized hereunder to do. Seller shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with the appointment and activities of such receiver, and such shall be deemed part of the Obligations hereunder.

(f) Purchaser may, at its option, enter into one or more hedging transactions covering all or a portion of the Purchased Assets, and Seller shall be responsible for all damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Purchaser relating to or arising out of such hedging transactions; including without limitation any losses resulting from such hedging transactions, and such shall be deemed part of the Obligations hereunder.

(g) In addition to all the rights and remedies specifically provided herein, Purchaser shall have all other rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign and local laws, whether existing at law, in equity or by statute, including, without limitation, all rights and remedies available to a purchaser/secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Purchaser shall have the right to exercise any of its rights and/or remedies without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, other than as expressly set forth herein, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Seller.

Purchaser may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any right 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 to the Obligations, or any guaranty thereof, arising from use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion 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.

Seller shall cause all sums received by it with respect to the Purchased Assets to be deposited promptly upon receipt thereof but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours thereafter. Seller shall be liable to Purchaser for the amount of all losses, costs and/or expenses (plus interest thereon at a rate equal to the Default Rate) which Purchaser may sustain or incur in connection with hedging transactions relating to the Purchased Assets, conduit advances and payments for mortgage insurance.

19.

DELAY NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES ARE CUMULATIVE

No failure on the part of Purchaser to exercise, and no delay by Purchaser in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Purchaser of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All rights and remedies of Purchaser provided for herein are cumulative and in addition to any and all other rights and remedies provided by law, the Program Documents and the other instruments and agreements contemplated hereby and thereby, and are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by Purchaser to exercise any of its rights under any other related document. Purchaser may exercise at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default one or more remedies permitted hereunder, as it so desires, and may thereafter at any time and from time to time exercise any other remedy or remedies permitted hereunder.

20.

USE OF EMPLOYEE PLAN ASSETS

No assets of an employee benefit plan subject to any provision of ERISA shall be used by either party hereto in a Transaction.

21.

INDEMNITY

(a) Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser, Agent and their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against (and will reimburse each Indemnified Party as the same is incurred within thirty (30) days following receipt of an invoice therefor) any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, taxes, increased costs and all other expenses including reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel and audit and due diligence fees) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including without limitation, in connection with) (i) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto) relating to, resulting from or arising out of any of the Program Documents and all other documents related thereto, any breach by Seller of any representation or warranty or covenant in this Agreement or any other Program Document, and all actions taken pursuant thereto, (ii) the Transactions, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, including, without limitation, any acquisition or proposed acquisition, or any indemnity payable under the servicing agreement or other servicing arrangement, (iii) the actual or alleged presence of hazardous materials on any Property or any environmental action relating in any way to any Property, (iv) the actual or alleged violation of any federal, state, municipal or local predatory lending laws, (v) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a breach of any of Seller’s representations and warranties found in Section 37(b) or (c), regardless of whether Seller cures such breach or (vi) the reduction of the Principal Balance due to a cram down or similar action authorized by any bankruptcy proceeding or other case arising out of or relating to any petition under the Bankruptcy Code, in each case, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or is the result of a claim made by Seller against the Indemnified Party, and Seller is ultimately the successful party in any resulting litigation or arbitration. Seller hereby agrees not to assert any claim against Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Program Documents, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY AND AGREEMENT NOT TO ASSERT CLAIMS EXPRESSLY APPLIES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO THE NEGLIGENCE (BUT NOT GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT) OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.

(b) If Seller fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under this Agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of Seller by Purchaser, in its sole discretion and Seller shall remain liable for any such payments by Purchaser and such amounts shall be deemed part of the Obligations hereunder. No such payment by Purchaser shall be deemed a waiver of any of the Purchaser’s rights under the Program Documents.

(c) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the covenants and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 21 shall survive the payment in full of the Repurchase Price and all other amounts payable hereunder and delivery of the Purchased Assets by Purchaser against full payment therefor.

22.

WAIVER OF REDEMPTION AND DEFICIENCY RIGHTS

Seller hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, every statute of limitation on a deficiency judgment, any reduction in the proceeds of any Purchased Assets as a result of restrictions upon Purchaser or Custodian contained in the Program Documents or any other instrument delivered in connection therewith, and any right that they may have to direct the order in which any of the Purchased Assets shall be disposed of in the event of any disposition pursuant hereto.

23.

REIMBURSEMENT; SET-OFF

(a) Seller agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Purchaser in connection with the initial and subsequent negotiation, modification, renewal and amendment of the Program Documents (including, without limitation, (A) all collateral review and UCC search and filing fees and expenses and (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel for Purchaser with respect to advising Purchaser as to its rights and responsibilities, or the perfection, protection or preservation of rights or interests, under this Agreement and any other Program Document, with respect to negotiations with Seller or with other creditors of Seller arising out of any Default or any events or circumstances that may give rise to a Default and with respect to presenting claims in or otherwise participating in or monitoring any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving creditors’ rights generally and any proceeding ancillary thereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall be responsible for 100% of the Purchaser’s legal fees associated with the initial preparation of the Program Documents up to the first $50,000 (the “Fee Cap”). Seller agrees to pay on demand, with interest at the Default Rate to the extent that an Event of Default has occurred, all costs and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (and fees and disbursements of Purchaser’s outside counsel) expended or incurred by Purchaser and/or Custodian in connection with the modification, renewal, amendment and enforcement (including any waivers) of the Program Documents (regardless of whether a Transaction is entered into hereunder), the taking of any action, including legal action, required or permitted to be taken by Purchaser (without duplication to Purchaser) and/or Custodian pursuant thereto or by refinancing or restructuring in the nature of a “workout.” Further, Seller agrees to pay, with interest at the Default Rate to the extent that an Event of Default has occurred, all costs and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (and fees and disbursements of Purchaser’s outside counsel) expended or incurred by Purchaser in connection with (a) the rendering of legal advice as to Purchaser’s rights, remedies and obligations under any of the Program Documents, (b) the collection of any sum which becomes due to Purchaser under any Program Document, (c) any proceeding for declaratory relief, any counterclaim to any proceeding, or any appeal, or (d) the protection, preservation or enforcement of any rights of Purchaser. For the purposes of this Section 23(a), attorneys’ fees shall include, without limitation, fees incurred in connection with the following: (1) discovery; (2) any motion, proceeding or other activity of any kind in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding or case arising out of or relating to any petition under Title 11 of the United States Code, as the same shall be in effect from time to time, or any similar law; (3) garnishment, levy, and debtor and third party examinations; and (4) post-judgment motions and proceedings of any kind, including without limitation any activity taken to collect or enforce any judgment. Any and all of the foregoing amounts referred to in this Section 23(a) shall be deemed a part of the Obligations hereunder. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the covenants and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 23(a) shall survive the payment in full of the Repurchase Price and all other amounts payable hereunder and delivery of the Purchased Assets by the Purchaser against full payment therefor.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of Purchaser hereunder and at law, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall have the right, without prior notice to Seller, any such notice being expressly waived by Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) by Seller hereunder or under any other agreement (including, without limitation, the Mortgage Loan Participation Purchase and Sale Agreement) entered into between Seller or any of its Affiliates on the one hand, and Purchaser or any of its Affiliates on the other hand, to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all Property and deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, or any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, or any other collateral (in the case of collateral not in the form of cash or such other marketable or negotiable form, by selling such collateral in a recognized market therefor or as otherwise permitted by law or as may be in accordance with custom, usage or trade practice), in each case, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Seller or any of its Affiliates. Purchaser may also set-off cash and all other sums or obligations owed by the Purchaser or its Affiliates to Seller or its Affiliates (whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement between the parties (including, without limitation, the Mortgage Loan Participation Purchase and Sale Agreement) or between Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the other) against all of Seller’s obligations to Purchaser or its Affiliates (whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement (including, without limitation, the Mortgage Loan Participation Purchase and Sale Agreement) between the parties or between Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the other), whether or not such obligations are then due. The exercise of any such right of set-off shall be without prejudice to Purchaser’s or its Affiliate’s right to recover any deficiency. Purchaser agrees to promptly notify Seller after any such set-off and application made by Purchaser; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

24.

FURTHER ASSURANCES

Seller agrees to do such further acts and things and to execute and deliver to Purchaser or Agent such additional assignments, acknowledgments, agreements, powers and instruments as are reasonably required by Purchaser or Agent to carry into effect the intent and purposes of this Agreement, to perfect the interests of Purchaser in the Purchased Assets or to better assure and confirm unto Purchaser its rights, powers and remedies hereunder.

25.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT; PRODUCT OF NEGOTIATION

This Agreement supersedes and integrates all previous negotiations, contracts, agreements and understandings among the parties relating to a sale and repurchase of Purchased Assets and Additional Purchased Mortgage Loans, and it, together with the other Program Documents, and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, contains the entire final agreement of the parties. No prior negotiation, agreement, understanding or prior contract shall have any validity hereafter.

26.

TERMINATION

This Agreement shall remain in effect until the Termination Date. However, no such termination shall affect Seller’s outstanding obligations to Purchaser at the time of such termination. Seller’s obligations to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and the other Program Documents shall survive the termination hereof.

27.

REHYPOTHECATION; ASSIGNMENT

(a) Purchaser may, in its sole election, and without the consent of the Seller engage in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets or otherwise pledge, hypothecate, assign, transfer or otherwise convey the Purchased Assets with a counterparty of the Purchaser’s choice, in all cases subject to the Purchaser’s obligation to reconvey the Purchased Assets (and not substitutes therefor) on the Repurchase Date, all at no cost to the Seller. In the event Purchaser engages in a repurchase transaction with any of the Purchased Assets or otherwise pledges or hypothecates any of the Purchased Assets, the Purchaser shall have the right to assign to the Purchaser’s counterparty any of the applicable representations or warranties in Exhibit B to this Agreement and the remedies for breach thereof, as they relate to the Purchased Assets that are subject to such repurchase transaction.

(b) The Program Documents and the Seller’s rights and obligations thereunder are not assignable by Seller without the prior written consent of the Purchaser. Any Person into which Seller may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which Seller shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of Seller, shall be the successor of Seller hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Without any requirement for further consent of the Seller and at no cost or expense to the Seller, each of the Purchaser and Agent may, in its sole election, assign or participate all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Program Documents with a counterparty of the Purchaser’s or Agent’s choice. The Purchaser or Agent shall notify Seller of any such assignment and participation and shall maintain, for review by Seller upon written request, a register of assignees and participants and a copy of any executed assignment and acceptance by the Purchaser or Agent and assignee (“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned.

GUARANTY

(a) Subject to Section 38(h) below, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Purchaser the prompt payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in full when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise). Any such payment shall be made at such place and in the same currency as such relevant Guaranteed Obligation is payable. This guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not solely of collection and is a continuing guaranty and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

(b) The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. Guarantor agrees that this guaranty may be enforced by Purchaser without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to this Agreement or any other Program Document or any collateral, if any, hereafter securing the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise and Guarantor hereby waives the right to require Purchaser to proceed against any other Person or to require the Purchaser to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent Purchaser from suing in any jurisdiction on this Agreement or any other Program Document or foreclosing its security interest in or Lien on any collateral, if any, securing the Guaranteed Obligations or from exercising any other rights available to it under this Agreement or any instrument of security, if any, and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder; it being the purpose and intent of Guarantor that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Neither Guarantor’s obligations under this guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by reason of the application of the laws of any foreign jurisdiction. Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance of by Purchaser upon this guaranty or acceptance of this guaranty. The Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this guaranty. All dealings between Seller and Guarantor, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this guaranty.

(c) Guarantor agrees that (a) all or any part of the security which hereafter may be held for the Guaranteed Obligations, if any, may be exchanged, compromised or surrendered from time to time; (b) the Purchaser shall not have any obligation to protect, perfect, secure or insure any such security interests or Liens which hereafter may be held, if any, for the Guaranteed Obligations or the properties subject thereto; (c) the time or place of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations may be changed or extended, in whole or in part, to a time certain or otherwise, and may be renewed, increased or accelerated, in whole or in part; (d) Seller and any other party liable for payment under this Agreement may be granted indulgences generally; (e) any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Program Document may be modified, amended or waived; and (f) any deposit balance for the credit of Seller or any other party liable for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or liable upon any security therefor may be released, in whole or in part, at, before or after the stated, extended or accelerated maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations, all without notice to or further assent by Guarantor, which shall remain bound thereon, notwithstanding any such exchange, compromise, surrender, extension, renewal, acceleration, modification, indulgence or release.

(d) Guarantor expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law: (a) notice of acceptance of this guaranty by the Purchaser and of all transfers of funds to Seller by Purchaser; (b) presentment and demand for payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) protest and notice of dishonor or of default (except as specifically required in this Agreement) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or with respect to any security therefor; (d) notice of Purchaser obtaining, amending, substituting for, releasing, waiving or modifying any Lien, if any, hereafter securing the Guaranteed Obligations, or Purchaser’s subordinating, compromising, discharging or releasing such Liens, if any; (e) all other notices to which Seller might otherwise be entitled in connection with the guaranty evidenced by this Section 38; and (f) demand for payment under this guaranty.

(e) The obligations of Guarantor under this Section 38 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify Purchaser on demand for all reasonable and documented costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by Purchaser in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

(f) Guarantor agrees that, as between Guarantor, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, the Guaranteed Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 18 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 18) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such Guaranteed Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Guaranteed Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by Guarantor.

(g) Guarantor hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the this Agreement it shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 38(a), whether by subrogation or otherwise, against Seller or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(h) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, to the extent the obligations of Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any Applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under Applicable Law (as now or hereinafter in effect).

NOTICE OF ASSIGNMENT, SALE OR TRANSFER

OF SERVICING RIGHTS

You are hereby notified that the servicing of your mortgage loan, that is the right to collect payments from you, is being assigned, sold or transferred.

The assignment, sale or transfer of the servicing of the mortgage loan does not affect any term or condition of the mortgage instruments, other than the terms directly related to the servicing of your loan.

Except in limited circumstances, the law requires that your present servicer send you a notice at least 15 days before the effective date, or at closing. Your new servicer must also send you this notice no later than 15 days after this effective date.

This notification is a requirement of Section 6 of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) (12 U.S.C. 2605). You should also be aware of the following information, which is set out in more detail in Section 6 of RESPA (12 U.S.C. 2605).

During the 60 day period following the effective date of the transfer of the loan servicing, a loan payment received by your old servicer before its due date may not be treated by the new loan servicer as late, and a late fee may not be imposed upon you.

Section 6 of RESPA (12 U.S.C. 2605) gives you certain consumer rights. If you send a “qualified written request” to your loan servicer concerning the servicing of your loan, your servicer must provide you with a written acknowledgement within 20 Business Days of receipt of your request. A “qualified written request” is written correspondence, other than notice on a payment coupon or other payment medium supplied by the servicer, which includes your name and account number and your reasons for the request. If you want to send a “qualified written request” regarding the servicing of your loan, it must be sent to this address:

___________________

[Address]

No later than 60 Business Days after receiving your request, your servicer must make any appropriate corrections to your account, and must provide you with a written clarification regarding any dispute. During this 60 Business Day period, your servicer may not provide information to a consumer reporting agency concerning any overdue payment related to such period or qualified written request. However, this does not prevent the servicer from initiating foreclosure if proper grounds exist under the mortgage documents.

A Business Day is any day excluding legal public holidays (State or federal), Saturday and Sunday.

Section 6 of RESPA also provides for damages and costs for individuals or classes of individuals, in circumstances where servicers are shown to have violated the requirements of that Section. You should seek legal advice if you believe your rights have been violated.

BANKRUPTCY INSTRUCTION – Attention to any customer in Bankruptcy or who has received a bankruptcy discharge of this debt. Please be advised that this letter constitutes neither a demand for payment of the captioned debt nor a notice of personal liability to any recipient hereof who might have received a discharge of such debt in accordance with applicable bankruptcy laws or who might be subject to the automatic stay of Section 362 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.
