(b) references in this Agreement to “sections,” “subsections,” “paragraphs” and other subdivisions without reference to a document are to designated sections, subsections, paragraphs and other subdivisions of this Agreement;

(d) a reference to an Exhibit or a Schedule without a further reference to the document to which the Exhibit or Schedule is attached is a reference to an Exhibit or Schedule to this Agreement;

(e) a reference to Xxxxxx Mae forms, guides, memos, updates or announcements shall mean such Xxxxxx Xxx forms, guides, memos, updates or announcements as the same may be amended, supplemented, otherwise modified, superseded or replaced from time to time;

(f) the words “attorneys’ fees and expenses” and other words of similar import shall mean the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, including any costs and expenses incurred by Xxxxxx Mae’s in-house counsel;

(g) the word “including” means “including by way of example and not limitation.”

The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that each party and their respective counsel have participated in the drafting and revision of this Agreement and the related documents. Accordingly the parties agree that any rule of construction which disfavors the drafting party shall not apply in the interpretation of this Agreement and the related documents or any statement or supplement or exhibit to this Agreement or the related documents.

SECTION 1.2 Defined Terms.

Capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the following meanings:

“Acceptable Collateral” shall have the meaning given that term in the Custodial Agreement.

“Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such Person. As used in this definition, the term “control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

“Agreement” means this Amended and Restated Master Recourse Agreement, as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

“Asset Value” means, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, the dollar amount equal, as applicable, to: (a) the proceeds of the sale to a third party (that is not Xxxxxx Xxx, MuniMae, Recourse Provider, or any Affiliate of Xxxxxx Mae, MuniMae or Recourse Provider) of the applicable Mortgaged Property at a regularly conducted foreclosure sale or at a sale directed by a court of competent jurisdiction in a bankruptcy proceeding or at any other commercially reasonable sale, which sale results in or is immediately followed by the full and indefeasible release of all of Xxxxxx Mae’s obligations under the related Credit Enhancement Agreement (b) the proceeds of the sale to a third party (that is not Xxxxxx Mae, MuniMae, Recourse Provider, or any Affiliate of Xxxxxx Xxx, MuniMae or Recourse Provider) of the Bonds, if any, and other obligations related to the Mortgaged Property, which sale results in or is immediately followed by the full and indefeasible release of all of Xxxxxx Mae’s obligations under the related Credit Enhancement Agreement; or (c) the appraised value of such Mortgaged Property, as of the Release Date, agreed to by Xxxxxx Xxx and Recourse Provider; provided, however, that if they cannot agree, the appraised value shall be as determined by “as-is” appraisal(s) conducted as provided below. Xxxxxx Mae and Recourse Provider shall each order a separate appraisal to be completed within sixty (60) days of the Release Date. Each such appraisal shall value the Mortgaged Property as of the Release Date and shall be completed by a qualified independent fee appraiser having experience in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located and otherwise in accordance with the requirements and procedures set forth in the DUS Guide for appraisals required prior to delivery of a Mortgage Loan to Xxxxxx Xxx. Any such appraisal shall be an “as is” appraisal, as defined and required for this purpose by the DUS Guide. If the lower of the two appraised values differs from the higher of the two appraised values by 5% of the higher appraised value or less, then the Asset Value will be the average of the two appraised values. If the two appraised values differ by more than such 5%, the two appraisers cannot agree on a value and Xxxxxx Mae and Recourse Provider cannot agree on a value, then Xxxxxx Xxx and Recourse Provider shall select a third appraiser, who will be engaged by Xxxxxx Mae (and paid from the Collateral Account), to conduct an independent appraisal within sixty (60) days and value the Mortgaged Property as of the Release Date in accordance with the requirements and procedures described in this definition. The third appraisal shall be binding upon Recourse Provider and Xxxxxx Xxx. If Recourse Provider fails to cause an appraisal to be conducted as provided above, the appraised value of a Mortgaged Property shall be determined exclusively by an appraiser

selected by Xxxxxx Mae and otherwise using the procedures set forth in this definition, and Recourse Provider waives any right to challenge such valuation.

“Bond Documents” means, with respect to any issue of Bonds, the Bonds, the indenture of trust, the certificate trust agreement, the custody agreement or other document governing the terms of such Bonds, the financing agreement, the regulatory agreement (or other agreement relating to rental restrictions on the applicable Mortgaged Property), the tax certificate (or other applicable agreement) relating to arbitrage in connection with use of the proceeds of such Bonds, the remarketing agreement executed in connection with such Bonds and any other agreement executed in connection with such Bonds, as each such agreement or instrument may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

“Borrower Payment Default” means the failure of a Borrower to pay when due and in full any payment(s) required with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or related Bond, if applicable, including, but not limited to, principal, interest, late charges, default interest, prepayment premiums, principal reserve fund payments, escrows or other collateral accounts for taxes, insurance premiums and assessments, other collateral accounts and the replacement reserve account, if applicable. For example, scheduled principal and interest payments are past due on the second day after payment is required to be made under the related Bond Documents or Mortgage Loan Documents, as applicable.

“Borrower Performance Default” means the failure of a Borrower to perform any covenant or other obligation under the related Mortgage Loan, other than a failure that constitutes a Borrower Payment Default, which constitutes an event of default under any of the Bond Documents or Mortgage Loan Documents after the application of any applicable grace period.

“Business Day” means any day except a Saturday, a Sunday or any other day on which Xxxxxx Xxx, Custodian or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is not open for business.

“Collateral Account” means the Collateral Account established in the Custodial Agreement.

“Collateral Requirement” means, with respect to all Mortgage Loans and as of any date of calculation, the Collateral Requirement specified in the most recent Mortgage Loan Certificate:

(1) less:

(a) with respect to all Mortgage Loans for which Established Losses have been determined after the date of such Mortgage Loan Certificate, the aggregate of such Established Losses; provided that if an Established Loss has been determined for a Mortgage Loan and any Payment Obligation is then due and owing to Xxxxxx Mae, the amount by which the Collateral Requirement shall be reduced pursuant to this clause (a) with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall be zero;

(b) with respect to all Mortgage Loans (other than Mortgage Loans included in clause (a) above) Released after the date of such Mortgage Loan Certificate, the aggregate of all Release Amounts, if any; and

(2) plus:

any subsequent recoupments with respect to Established Losses and/or Principal Reductions received pursuant to Section 2.6 of this Agreement

“Estimated Loss,” in connection with each Mortgage Loan with respect to which a Borrower Default has occurred, shall be the actual loss or Estimated Loss (as herein determined) with respect to such Mortgage Loan.

In each case, such payments are to be made solely pursuant to Recourse Provider’s obligations to Xxxxxx Xxx under this Agreement and not as surety or guarantor with respect to the Borrower’s obligations under the Mortgage Loan.

respect to such Mortgage Loan, (b) delivery of Collateral to Custodian, in accordance with the terms of the Custodial Agreement, in an amount sufficient to cause the Collateral Requirement to be met as of the Delivery Date, and (c) making of the representations and warranties of Recourse Provider set forth in Section 4.1. In connection with each Mortgage Loan, MuniMae shall make the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.2, including those set forth in Exhibit B with respect to such Mortgage Loan and shall sign a Mortgage Loan Certificate with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Xxxxxx Mae shall be under no obligation to execute a Mortgage Loan Certificate with respect to any mortgage loan or Bond and shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine whether or not to accept any mortgage loan or Bond under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Collateral Requirement for the Mortgage Loans referred to in a Mortgage Loan Certificate and in all Mortgage Loan Certificates delivered prior to the date thereof shall not increase until such time as Recourse Provider and MuniMae shall deliver a new Mortgage Loan Certificate to Xxxxxx Xxx. Any errors in or omissions from the applicable Mortgage Loan Certificate shall not diminish in any respect Recourse Provider’s or MuniMae’s obligations as provided in this Agreement in respect of such Mortgage Loan.

SECTION 2.2 First Loss Obligation; Collateral Requirement.

(a) Notwithstanding the endorsement of any Note by Recourse Provider or any other Person “without recourse,” Recourse Provider acknowledges and agrees that it shall be liable for the payment of all (i) Established Losses pursuant to Section 2.4, and (ii) Principal Reductions pursuant to Section 2.3, and Recourse Provider and MuniMae acknowledge and agree that they shall be jointly and severally liable for the payment of all (i) Delinquency Advances pursuant to Section 3.2, (ii) Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 3.3, and (iii) other amounts owed with respect to the Mortgage Loans all as provided under this Agreement, and otherwise shall be bound by and subject to all the terms and provisions of the Transaction Documents and, subject to the recourse limitations set forth in Section 2.3, Section 2.4, Section 3.2 and Section 3.3, Xxxxxx Mae shall have the right to exercise any and all of its rights and remedies against Recourse Provider and MuniMae under the same.

including the Acceptable Collateral, but the Acceptable Collateral shall be available if Xxxxxx Xxx so desires to satisfy the obligations identified in this sentence.

SECTION 2.3 Principal Reductions.

The Recourse Provider shall be obligated to pay Principal Reductions in the manner set forth in this Agreement. To the extent Recourse Provider has Decision Control and no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default exists, five (5) Business Days after Recourse Provider notifies Xxxxxx Mae in writing that it desires to make a Principal Reduction, Recourse Provider shall pay such Principal Reduction or pay such amount from Acceptable Collateral required to be held under the Custodial Agreement in the manner provided in the Custodial Agreement. To the extent that Principal Reductions are paid or caused to be paid by Recourse Provider, the Collateral Requirement will be reduced as provided in the definition of such term. Xxxxxx Xxx will accomplish such reduction by directing Custodian to pay the amount of such Principal Reduction to the party necessary to be paid in order to accomplish the Principal Reduction. So long as Xxxxxx Mae has Decision Control with respect to any Mortgage Loan or an Event of Default exists, Xxxxxx Xxx shall be entitled to direct the Custodian to pay from the Acceptable Collateral a Principal Reduction with respect to such Mortgage Loan or with respect to any Mortgage Loan upon on Event of Default in the event not paid by the Recourse Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment of Principal Reductions shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the Collateral Requirement immediately prior to the date such Principal Reduction is made.

SECTION 2.4 Established Losses.

(a) Recourse Provider shall be obligated to pay all Established Losses, up to an amount not to exceed in the aggregate the Collateral Requirement. As of the Release Date for each Mortgage Loan, Xxxxxx Mae shall determine the amount of the Established Loss with respect to such Mortgage Loan and notify Recourse Provider in writing of the amount of such Established Loss. Funds in an amount equal to the Established Loss with respect to such Mortgage Loan, less amounts previously distributed to pay amounts included in the Established Loss, shall be paid by Recourse Provider to Xxxxxx Xxx or in the event not paid by Recourse Provider will be paid from the Acceptable Collateral under the terms of the Custodial Agreement. The amount of Acceptable Collateral required to be held under the Custodial Agreement shall thereupon be reduced by the amount of such Established Loss and the Collateral Requirement will be reduced as provided in the definition of such term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment to Xxxxxx Mae for Established Losses shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the Collateral Requirement immediately prior to the Release Date.

(b) Recourse Provider shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, charges, costs and fees incurred by Xxxxxx Xxx in connection with the review of documents and other materials and the performance of calculations as necessary to verify the Established Losses, Estimated Losses and the Collateral Requirement. To the extent such resources are available to Xxxxxx Mae internally, Xxxxxx Xxx will use its reasonable

efforts to use such internal resources to perform any calculations necessary to verify Established Losses, Estimated Losses and the Collateral Requirement.

(c) If, as of the Release Date for any Mortgage Loan, the aggregate amount of the Delinquency Advances and Servicing Advances paid or reimbursed by MuniMae or Recourse Provider with respect to such Mortgage Loan exceeds the lesser of (x) the Established Loss with respect to such Mortgage Loan and (y) the Collateral Requirement as of such date, Xxxxxx Mae or Custodian shall make a reimbursement payment to the Recourse Provider in the amount of such excess within 10 Business Days after the payment of the Established Loss with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the above, Xxxxxx Xxx shall be under no obligation to make a reimbursement payment for any Delinquency Advances or Servicing Advances in the event that an Event of Default, including a nonpayment of an Established Loss or Principal Reduction, exists. Upon recovering a reimbursement payment, Recourse Provider shall have the responsibility to allocate the payment between MuniMae and Recourse Provider in a fair and equitable manner based on the amount paid by each such party with respect to such Mortgage Loan and Xxxxxx Mae shall be relieved of any and all liability to further reimburse either MuniMae or Recourse Provider for payments made by such parties with respect to such Mortgage Loan.

SECTION 2.5 Releases Without Established Losses.

In the event that as of the Release Date for a Mortgage Loan there are no Established Losses and no Delinquency Advances or Servicing Advances to be reimbursed with respect to such Mortgage Loan and no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default exists, then the amount of Acceptable Collateral required to be held under the Custodial Agreement shall be reduced by the Release Amount of such Mortgage Loan as provided in the Custodial Agreement and the Collateral Requirement will be reduced as provided in the definition of such term.

SECTION 2.6 Subsequent Recoupment.

If Servicer or Xxxxxx Xxx receives a subsequent payment in connection with any Established Loss or Principal Reduction, or related to any payment obligation of Recourse Provider or MuniMae theretofore paid, then Servicer or Xxxxxx Mae, as the case may be, shall, so long as no Event of Default exists and no Borrower Default exists with respect to the Mortgage Loan to which such subsequent payment relates, pay the amount of such subsequent payment to the party that made such payment, otherwise such amount shall be deposited into the Collateral Account, provided, however, that if such payment is received in connection with (i) a payment under the Insurance Policy, such amount may, at the discretion of Xxxxxx Xxx, be returned to the issuer of the Insurance Policy so long as the amount covered by the Insurance Policy is increased accordingly, or (ii) funds received from Collateral other than the Insurance Policy, the Servicer or Xxxxxx Mae, as the case may be, shall deliver to the Custodian for deposit in the Collateral Account the amount of such subsequent payment; provided, however, that if applicable law otherwise requires the money to be held or applied in a different manner, then such money will be held as required by such applicable law.

SECTION 2.7 Bond Fund Initial Funding Requirements.

MuniMae has agreed to provide to Xxxxxx Xxx a wire transfer of immediately available funds, on or prior to the date such funds are needed to fund the respective Bond Fund Initial Funding Requirements for The Industrial Development Authority of Kansas City, Missouri, Multifamily Housing Revenue Refunding Bonds (Locarno Apartments Project), Series 1996A (the “Locarno Bonds”), and The Industrial Development Authority of the City of Independence, Missouri, Multifamily Housing Revenue Refunding Bonds (Independence Ridge Apartments Project), Series 1996A (the “Independence Bonds”), the aggregate amount of $29,000.

Xxxxxx Xxx shall be obligated to make such payment only to the extent it received the equivalent amount from MuniMae. In no event shall Xxxxxx Mae have any obligation to fund any shortfall in either Bond Fund Initial Funding Requirement. Xxxxxx Xxx further agrees, pursuant to Section 6.13(a) of the respective Indentures for the Locarno Bonds and the Independence Bonds, after receipt of MuniMae’s written request to request reimbursement of the Bond Fund Initial Funding Requirements, and, to the extent Xxxxxx Mae is otherwise reimbursed pursuant to such Section 6.13 for all other amounts owing thereto, Xxxxxx Xxx shall remit to MuniMae upon receipt the amounts received as reimbursement for payment of the Bond Fund Initial Funding Requirements. As of the date of this Agreement, the requirements of this Section 2.7 have been satisfied in full.

ARTICLE III
SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS; ADVANCES ...

SECTION 3.1 Servicing.

The Mortgage Loans and REO will be serviced by Recourse Provider or by the Servicer in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth in the Servicing Agreement. All payments of Delinquency Advances and Servicing Advances required to be made by Recourse Provider or MuniMae with respect to a Mortgage Loan under this Agreement shall be made through the Servicer unless Recourse Provider is then acting as servicer under the Servicing Agreement, then through the Recourse Provider. To the extent that any Delinquency Advance or Servicing Advance is made by the Servicer from its own funds in any month, interest shall accrue on the amount of such Delinquency Advance or Servicing Advance at a rate equal to the rate specified in the Servicing Agreement, but in no event greater than the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus two percent (2%), until the Servicer is reimbursed in full by Recourse Provider or MuniMae. The amount of such interest paid to the Servicer calculated at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate, but no greater, shall be deemed to be a part of the Delinquency

Advance or Servicing Advance, as applicable. Notwithstanding the fact that Recourse Provider and MuniMae are only entitled to include interest at the Federal Funds Effective Rate in Delinquency Advances and Servicing Advances, interest shall accrue to the Servicer until it is fully reimbursed for all Delinquency Advances and Servicing Advances made with its own funds at the rate specified in the Servicing Agreement, but in no event greater than the Federal Funds Effective Rate, plus 2%.

SECTION 3.2 Delinquency Advances.

Recourse Provider and MuniMae shall each jointly and severally be obligated to make Delinquency Advances (or reimburse Servicer for Delinquency Advances) for each Mortgage Loan such that the Credit Enhancement Agreement related to such Mortgage Loan will not be called upon for payment by Xxxxxx Xxx (other than, in the case of a Credit Enhancement Agreement in the form of a mortgage-backed security, passing through the amount advanced by Recourse Provider). On and after the earlier of the Expiry Date or the Release Date with respect to a Mortgage Loan, neither Recourse Provider nor MuniMae shall be obligated to make any future Delinquency Advances for that Mortgage Loan. Recourse Provider and MuniMae each acknowledge and agree that they shall not be entitled to make Delinquency Advances directly from any Collateral held in the Collateral Account.

SECTION 3.3 Servicing Advances.

Recourse Provider and MuniMae shall each jointly and severally be obligated to make Servicing Advances (or reimburse Servicer for Servicing Advances) for each Mortgage Loan when any such amounts are due (and prior to the imposition of any penalties or charges).

On and after the earlier of the Expiry Date or the Release Date with respect to a Mortgage Loan, neither Recourse Provider nor MuniMae shall be obligated to make any future Servicing Advances for that Mortgage Loan. Recourse Provider and MuniMae each acknowledge and agree that they shall not be entitled to make Servicing Advances directly from any Collateral held in the Collateral Account.

SECTION 3.4 Unavailability of Net Operating Income.

Recourse Provider’s and MuniMae’s obligation to make Delinquency Advances and Servicing Advances shall not be reduced by net operating income, amounts held in any replacement reserve account or other amounts with respect to a Mortgaged Property that, under the provisions of applicable state law, are not then available for use by Xxxxxx Mae.

SECTION 3.5 Decision Control.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.5, Recourse Provider shall be entitled to Decision Control with respect to any Defaulted Mortgage Loan;

provided that all of the following conditions are met with respect to such Defaulted Mortgage Loan:

(i) Recourse Provider shall deliver and submit its determination of Estimated Losses within 10 days of the Date of Borrower Default with respect to such Mortgage Loan.

(ii) if Xxxxxx Xxx determines that the Estimated Losses, as determined by Xxxxxx Mae based upon Recourse Provider’s determination or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, with respect to all Mortgage Loans for which a Borrower Default has occurred and an Established Loss has not been determined and paid, exceed the Collateral Requirement, then, fifteen (15) days following the date Xxxxxx Xxx determines Estimated Losses and provides written notice to Recourse Provider of Estimated Losses, Recourse Provider shall (1) increase the Collateral Requirement by an amount equal to such deficiency between the Estimated Losses and the Collateral Requirement, (2) deliver to Custodian pursuant to the terms of the Custodial Agreement Acceptable Collateral in an amount sufficient to cause the Acceptable Collateral held under the Custodial Agreement to equal such increased Collateral Requirement, and (3) execute and deliver a revised Mortgage Loan Certificate to Xxxxxx Mae indicating a Collateral Requirement equal to such increased Collateral Requirement.

(iii) no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default exists; and

(iv) Recourse Provider shall not have delivered to Xxxxxx Xxx a notice (a “Decision Control Notice”) in the form of Exhibit C to this Agreement relinquishing Decision Control with respect to all the Mortgage Loans.

If all of the conditions set forth in subsections (a)(i), (a)(ii), (a)(iii) and (a)(iv) of this Section 3.5 are not satisfied on the applicable dates or the Recourse Provider has delivered a Decision Control Notice, then Xxxxxx Mae shall have Decision Control with respect to the applicable Defaulted Mortgage Loan. So long as Recourse Provider retains Decision Control with respect to any Defaulted Mortgage Loan, Recourse Provider shall calculate Estimated Losses on the dates such Estimated Losses are required to be calculated under Section 5.2 and deliver and submit to Xxxxxx Xxx its determination of Estimated Losses within 10 days of such calculation date. If Xxxxxx Mae determines that Estimated Losses, as determined by Xxxxxx Xxx based on Recourse Provider’s determination or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, exceed the Collateral Requirement then Recourse Provider shall not be entitled to retain Decision Control with respect to any Defaulted Mortgage Loan unless fifteen (15) days following the date Xxxxxx Mae determines Estimated Loss and provides written notice to Recourse Provider, Recourse Provider (1) increases the Collateral Requirement by an amount equal to such

deficiency between Estimated Losses and the Collateral Requirement, (2) delivers to Custodian pursuant to the terms of the Custodial Agreement Acceptable Collateral in an amount sufficient to cause the Acceptable Collateral held under the Custodial Agreement to equal such Collateral Requirement, and (3) executes and delivers a revised Mortgage Loan Certificate to Xxxxxx Xxx indicating a Collateral Requirement equal to such increased Collateral Requirement.

To the extent Xxxxxx Mae has Decision Control as a result of Recourse Provider providing a Decision Control Notice or otherwise as provided herein, Xxxxxx Xxx shall be entitled to take all action relating to such Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to requiring MuniMae and Recourse Provider to pay or use amounts available from Acceptable Collateral to pay Delinquency Advances, Servicing Advances, Established Losses and Principal Reductions and to pay costs, expenses and other obligations of Recourse Provider and MuniMae to the extent provided in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon receipt of a Decision Control Notice, Xxxxxx Mae shall be entitled to Decision Control with respect to all Mortgage Loans including Mortgage Loans with respect to which Recourse Provider had Decision Control prior to the giving of the Decision Control Notice.

Upon a determination that Recourse Provider has Decision Control with respect to a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, Xxxxxx Xxx shall notify the special servicer for such Mortgage Loan that Recourse Provider is the “Approval Party” for such Mortgage Loan under the Special Servicing Agreement applicable to such Mortgage Loan.

(b) Regardless of whether Recourse Provider or Xxxxxx Mae has Decision Control with respect to a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, Xxxxxx Xxx shall have no obligation to agree to any course of action proposed by Recourse Provider nor shall Xxxxxx Mae execute and deliver any Mortgage Loan Documents or any other documents (regardless of whether Xxxxxx Xxx has agreed to a proposed course of action for such Defaulted Mortgage Loan) and Recourse Provider shall not take any proposed course of action if, in Xxxxxx Mae’s sole judgment, the proposed course of action, or the terms of the proposed Mortgage Loan Documents, as applicable, may reasonably be expected to:

(i) affect the tax-exempt status of the Bonds related to such Mortgaged Property or any certificate representing an interest in a trust to which the Bonds have been transferred, based upon the advice of nationally recognized bond counsel selected by Xxxxxx Xxx, or materially affect the marketability of the applicable Bonds, based upon the advice of an investment banking entity with substantial experience in the public finance area selected by Xxxxxx Mae;

(ii) result in the refunding, reissuance or acceleration of any Bonds;

(iii) result in any forbearance, amendment, modification or waiver under any provision of the Bond Documents which requires

Xxxxxx Mae’s consent, or interfere with Xxxxxx Mae’s rights to provide consents and/or approvals, give directions or take actions (other than requesting mandatory redemption or acceleration of the applicable Bonds) to the extent Xxxxxx Xxx is entitled to exercise such consent or approval rights, give such directions or take such actions in accordance with the terms of the related Credit Enhancement Agreement and Bond Documents and such consent, approval, direction or action is in connection with (1) an event of default under any such document, (2) the maintenance of the tax-exempt status of the related Bonds, (3) the purchase of a substitute mortgage-backed security in lieu of redemption of Bonds or any substitution of a mortgage-backed security, (4) the redemption of the related Bonds without prepayment of the related Credit Enhancement Agreement, (5) the removal or replacement of parties to the related Bond Documents, including without limitation, any trustee, remarketing agent or tender agent, or (6) any amendment to the related Bond Documents to modify the definition of permitted or eligible investments or to modify the flow of funds;

(iv) increase or otherwise detrimentally affect the obligations of Xxxxxx Mae under any Credit Enhancement Agreement or any other document under which Xxxxxx Xxx may be obligated in connection with the related Bonds;

(v) constitute a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default;

(vi) cause a reduction of the principal or other amounts due under a Mortgage Loan (other than Principal Reductions) or adversely affect the enforceability of the Mortgage Loan Documents (as the related Mortgage Loan is proposed to be modified) or the rights and remedies available against the Borrower thereunder;

(vii) result in Xxxxxx Mae (or any assignee or nominee of Xxxxxx Xxx) taking title (by Foreclosure or otherwise) to a property which Xxxxxx Mae reasonably believes may not be in compliance with any federal, state or local law, statute or ordinance, rule or regulation, decree, order and/or permit relating to Environmental Matters; or

(viii) result in Xxxxxx Xxx being subject to claims, counterclaims or proceedings by any Person that, in Xxxxxx Mae’s reasonable judgment, may have a material adverse impact on Xxxxxx Xxx, its business, operations or reputation (by way of example and not limitation, a Borrower’s general denial or questioning of amounts

owed or paid or the timing of payments under a Mortgage Loan or any other mortgage loan would not alone preclude Recourse Provider’s exercising Decision Control, but a class action or a discrimination claim or counterclaim or a proceeding before the Department of Housing and Urban Development or the Department of Justice would be handled solely by Xxxxxx Mae).

Xxxxxx Xxx shall also have the right to disapprove any Mortgage Loan Documents or other documents submitted for Xxxxxx Mae approval and execution if the terms of such documents are inconsistent in any material respect with the terms set forth in the proposed course of action submitted to Xxxxxx Xxx for such Mortgage Loan pursuant to subsection (d) below.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Recourse Provider having Decision Control preclude Xxxxxx Mae from (i) if the related Credit Enhancement Agreement is a collateral agreement, accelerating a Mortgage Loan under the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage Loan Documents or accelerating such related Credit Enhancement Agreement under the terms and conditions thereof in the event that Xxxxxx Xxx has made a payment with respect to such related Credit Enhancement Agreement which payment has not been reimbursed to Xxxxxx Mae within the time period required by the terms of such Credit Enhancement Agreement or any related reimbursement agreement, (ii) if the related Credit Enhancement Agreement is a mortgage-backed security, accelerating the related Mortgage Loan under the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage Loan Documents and prepaying the mortgage-backed security if required by the terms of such mortgage-backed security or the indenture pursuant to which the mortgage-backed security was issued, (iii) taking any action or refraining from taking any action necessary to avoid a default by Xxxxxx Xxx under any Credit Enhancement Agreement, or (iv) providing consents and/or approvals, giving directions or taking actions (other than requesting mandatory redemption or acceleration of the applicable Bonds) to the extent Xxxxxx Mae is entitled to exercise such consent or approval rights, give such directions or take such actions in accordance with the terms of the related Credit Enhancement Agreement and Bond Documents and such consent, approval, direction or action is in connection with (1) an event of default under any such document, (2) the maintenance of the tax-exempt status of the related Bonds, (3) the purchase of a substitute mortgage-backed security in lieu of redemption of Bonds or any substitution of a mortgage-backed security or other Credit Enhancement Agreement, (4) the redemption of the related Bonds without prepayment of the related Credit Enhancement Agreement, (5) the removal or replacement of parties to the related Bond Documents, including without limitation, any trustee, remarketing agent or tender agent, or (6) any amendment to the related Bond Documents to modify the definition of permitted or eligible investments or to modify the flow of funds.

(d) At any time when Recourse Provider has Decision Control with respect to a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, Recourse Provider shall propose an initial course of action with respect to such Defaulted Mortgage Loan and deliver written notification of its proposal to Xxxxxx Xxx within ninety (90) days of the date on which the Servicer

gives notice to Recourse Provider that the Mortgage Loan has become a Defaulted Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that such notice shall be presumed given upon the date the Mortgage Loan became a Defaulted Mortgage Loan if the Servicer is an Affiliate of Recourse Provider. Such proposal shall be consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement and of the Servicing Agreement. In addition, in making a proposal, Recourse Provider shall consider whether any of the circumstances described in subsection (b) above may result from implementation of the proposal, and shall specifically notify Xxxxxx Mae in writing of any possible violation of the circumstances set forth in this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement of which Recourse Provider has knowledge; provided, however, that Recourse Provider shall be duly diligent in investigating such matters. If Recourse Provider fails to submit an initial proposed course of action to Xxxxxx Xxx within the ninety (90) day-period referenced above, Xxxxxx Mae shall have Decision Control with respect to such Mortgage Loan regardless of whether or not the tests set forth in subsection (a) above were met, unless Xxxxxx Xxx and-Recourse Provider shall otherwise mutually agree in writing.

During the period in which Recourse Provider and Xxxxxx Mae are evaluating the course of action being proposed with respect to a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, if Recourse Provider believes in its reasonable judgment that any action to be taken with respect to such Defaulted Mortgage Loan will either (i) result in a violation of the MBS Requirements set forth in the related Servicing Agreement, or (ii) result in any of the events described in Subsection (b) above, Recourse Provider shall not take or direct the Servicer to take any action without the prior written consent of Xxxxxx Xxx.

(e) Xxxxxx Mae shall notify Recourse Provider in writing if it believes that any proposal made by Recourse Provider with respect to a Defaulted Mortgage Loan may reasonably be expected to result in any of the events described in subsection (b) above or to conflict with this Agreement (an “Objection”) within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of Recourse Provider’s written proposal. Xxxxxx Mae’s failure to deliver such written notice of Objection within such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to be agreement with Recourse Provider’s written proposal.

In the event Xxxxxx Mae delivers a notice of Objection to a course of action proposed by Recourse Provider, Recourse Provider and Xxxxxx Xxx shall consult with each other and attempt to reach agreement as to the course of action to be taken. Within ten (10) Business Days of Recourse Provider’s receipt of Xxxxxx Mae’s notice of Objection, Recourse Provider shall submit a revised proposal with respect to the course of action to be taken, which proposal shall be consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement and of the Servicing Agreement and shall address the bases for Xxxxxx Mae’s Objection. If Recourse Provider fails to submit a revised proposal within said ten (10) Business Day period or if Xxxxxx Mae delivers a notice of Objection to such revised proposal, Xxxxxx Xxx shall have Decision Control with respect to the Mortgage Loan in question, unless Xxxxxx Mae and Recourse Provider shall otherwise mutually agree in writing. Xxxxxx Xxx shall agree or object to such revised proposal within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt thereof by the delivery of written notice to Recourse Provider, subject to the terms of this Section 3.5. Xxxxxx Mae’s failure to deliver such

written notice within such ten (10) Business Day period shall not be deemed to constitute agreement with such revised proposal.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no later than the date which is four (4) months prior to the Expiry Date for any Mortgage Loan, either (i) such Mortgage Loan shall have been Released, or (ii) Recourse Provider shall have made a written proposal to Xxxxxx Xxx, demonstrating to the reasonable satisfaction of Xxxxxx Mae that either (1) the Credit Enhancement Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall be fully and indefeasibly released by such Expiry Date, or (2) the Recourse Provider is requesting that the Expiry Date be extended and has provided assurances to Xxxxxx Xxx that the payment of the Xxxxxx Mae Fee and the Servicing Fee with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall be guaranteed or otherwise provided for during any agreed upon period past such Expiry Date. Xxxxxx Xxx shall respond to any written proposal made by Recourse Provider pursuant to this subsection (f) within (10) Business Days of receipt thereof and if Xxxxxx Mae does not accept such proposal, its response shall set forth the reasons therefor. If Xxxxxx Xxx does not accept such proposal, Recourse Provider and Xxxxxx Mae shall consult with each other and attempt to reach agreement as to the course of action to be taken by Recourse Provider in order to meet Xxxxxx Mae’s objections. However, if Recourse Provider has not made any proposal or has not responded or Xxxxxx Mae is not reasonably satisfied by Recourse Provider’s proposal by the date which is three (3) months prior to the Expiry Date, Xxxxxx Xxx shall have Decision Control with respect to the Mortgage Loan in question.

(g) Recourse Provider shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, charges, costs and fees incurred by Xxxxxx Mae in connection with (i) the determination of which party has Decision Control with respect to any Mortgage Loan, and (ii) the evaluation of a proposed course of action submitted pursuant to this Section 3.5 with respect to a Defaulted Mortgage Loan and the review of any mortgage loan or other documents submitted to Xxxxxx Xxx for approval in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the review of any proposed Mortgage Loan Certificate and the mortgage loans described therein, it being acknowledged that such costs may include the fees of bond counsel and other counsel to evaluate the effect of any proposal or existing circumstance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Xxxxxx Mae agrees that for each Defaulted Mortgage Loan, it will consult with Recourse Provider and provide Recourse Provider an estimate of any such out-of-pocket expenses, charges, costs and fees incurred by Xxxxxx Xxx in connection with such Defaulted Mortgage Loan, within a reasonable period of time after such out-of-pocket expenses, charges, costs and fees equal $7,500. It is understood that upon a receipt of a Decision Control Notice by Xxxxxx Mae, Recourse Provider shall not be obligated for any expenses, charges, costs and fees pursuant to this subsection (g) incurred after receipt of such Decision Control Notice.

SECTION 3.6 Implementation of Course of Action.

If it is determined in accordance with the terms of Section 3.5 that Recourse Provider has Decision Control with respect to a Defaulted Mortgage Loan and Xxxxxx Xxx has not objected (or has failed to respond within the time limit specified in

the first paragraph of Section 3.5(e)) to the course of action proposed by Recourse Provider, then Recourse Provider or, at the direction of Recourse Provider, the Servicer (if there is a third party Servicer), shall pursue the chosen course of action in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement. If it has been determined that Xxxxxx Mae has Decision Control with respect to a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or in the event Recourse Provider has sent a Decision Control Notice pursuant to Section 3.5, Xxxxxx Xxx shall implement or direct the Servicer to implement the course of action chosen by Xxxxxx Mae in its discretion. Xxxxxx Xxx shall provide notice to Recourse Provider of such course of action provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not affect any of Recourse Provider’s obligations or any of Xxxxxx Mae’s rights under this Agreement.

SECTION 3.7 Restructurings and Foreclosure.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, those provisions of this Agreement relating to Decision Control, Recourse Provider or the Servicer (if there is a third party Servicer) shall take all necessary action with respect to Defaulted Mortgage Loans, including, without limitation, negotiating Restructurings and instituting and completing Foreclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Credit Enhancement Agreement with respect to any Mortgage Loan is a mortgage-backed security issued by Xxxxxx Xxx, such Mortgage Loan shall not be Restructured unless it is first Released. Each Mortgaged Property that is subject to Foreclosure may become REO, and Xxxxxx Mae and/or Recourse Provider will take action to dispose of such REO consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 3.8 Substitute Mortgage Loans.

Upon satisfaction of all conditions to being a Mortgage Loan under this Agreement, including execution of a Mortgage Loan Certificate by Xxxxxx Xxx, any Substitute Mortgage Loan will be included within the term Mortgage Loans for all purposes of this Agreement.

to this Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan. In order to accomplish such release or purchase, Recourse Provider or MuniMae, as applicable, shall defease or otherwise retire all of the related Bonds or cause all of Xxxxxx Mae’s obligations under the related Credit Enhancement Agreement to be fully and indefeasibly released and, in connection with the three Mortgage Loans Purchased by Xxxxxx Mae in accordance with the Recourse Agreement (as defined in paragraph A of the Recitals), shall pay to Xxxxxx Xxx the amount of any prepayment premium, calculated using the applicable non default rate of interest on the related Note, that would be payable by the related Borrower if such Mortgage Loan were prepaid on such date plus any other fees or interest on the related Bonds until Xxxxxx Mae’s obligations under the related Credit Enhancement Agreement are fully and indefeasibly released. Recourse Provider or MuniMae, as applicable, shall also reimburse Xxxxxx Xxx for all amounts paid by Xxxxxx Mae with respect to such Mortgage Loan or the related Credit Enhancement Agreement, together with interest thereon at an interest rate of the Federal Funds Effective accruing from the date on which Xxxxxx Xxx makes a payment with respect to any Mortgage Loan or related Credit Enhancement Agreement through the date of reimbursement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Credit Enhancement Agreement with respect to any Mortgage Loan Purchased by Xxxxxx Mae is a mortgage-backed security issued by Xxxxxx Xxx, the purchase price for such Mortgage Loan shall be equal to (a) the Unpaid Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the date of repurchase, plus (b) the amount of any accrued but unpaid interest on the related Note until the last day of the month during which the repurchase is made and all other sums (except late charges and default interest) then due under such Mortgage Loan, plus (c) the amount of any prepayment premium, calculated using the applicable non-default rate of interest on the related Note, that would be payable by the related Borrower if such Mortgage Loan were prepaid on such date, plus (d) any other fees or interest on the related Bonds until Xxxxxx Mae’s obligations under the related Credit Enhancement Agreement are fully and indefeasibly released.

(b) MuniMae and/or Recourse Provider may not voluntarily release or purchase any Mortgage Loan except in the event that the long term debt rating of Xxxxxx Xxx, after giving effect to any explicit or implied Federal guaranty, is below A- by Standard & Poors Corporation (or its successor) or A3 by Moody’s Investers Service (or its successor). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent a Mortgage Loan is released or reduced other than (i) pursuant to Section 3.9(a) above, (ii) in connection with a condemnation or casualty loss, (iii) as a result of scheduled amortization, (iv) pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 3.9(c) or (v) in connection with a determination of an Established Loss, the Recourse Provider and MuniMae jointly and severally agree to pay the Termination Fee set forth in the Mortgage Loan Certificate with respect to such Mortgage Loan.

(c) In order to effect any release or purchase of a Mortgage Loan, Recourse Provider must make arrangements satisfactory to Xxxxxx Xxx to have the Credit Enhancement Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan fully and indefeasibly released, and must reimburse Xxxxxx Mae for all amounts paid by Xxxxxx Xxx with respect to such Mortgage Loan or the related Bonds or Credit Enhancement Agreement. Any Established Losses or Principal Reductions with respect to any repurchased and released Mortgage Loan shall be settled as provided in Section 2.4 or Section 2.3, as

applicable. Nothing in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall be construed to prohibit Recourse Provider from purchasing the related Bonds in connection with releasing or purchasing a Mortgage Loan.

(b) Indemnity by MuniMae. MuniMae hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Indemnified Party from and against, any and all claims, losses, liabilities (including penalties), actions, suits, judgments, demands, damages, costs, charges or expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys, consultants and auditors and costs of investigation) and obligations whatsoever of any nature arising out of, relating to or in connection with: (i) any breach of its representations and warranties made in this Agreement (including each Mortgage Loan Certificate) or pursuant to this Agreement (including each Mortgage Loan Certificate) and any act or omission of MuniMae or any act taken or omitted at the direction of MuniMae or any of its agents, servants, employees or licensees, in connection with the Mortgage Loans, the Bonds, the Mortgaged Properties, this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; (ii) any breach or alleged breach of its representations and warranties made in Section 4.2 (h) and (i); (iii) the resale or remarketing of any Bonds or any certifications or representations made by MuniMae in connection with the Bonds (including any sale, resale or remarketing thereof), including (1) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any offering documents relating to any of the Bonds or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (2) the violation by MuniMae of any federal, state or local securities or real estate laws, rules or regulations in connection with the resale or remarketing of any of the Bonds; and (iv) all reasonable costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses, other expenses or liabilities incurred in connection with any such claim or proceeding referred to in clauses (i) (ii) and (iii) above; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnification shall not be effective to the extent such liabilities are for claims under any Credit Enhancement Agreement by the beneficiaries thereof, or are to be included within Recourse Provider’s first loss obligations and are solely the result of the Borrower not making required payments under the Mortgage Loan Documents, or are caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party.

Xxxxxx Mae shall have no liability to Recourse Provider, MuniMae or to any other Person as a result of any reduction of the credit rating of any of the Bonds or any deterioration of Xxxxxx Mae’s financial condition, nor shall any such reduction or deterioration reduce or diminish in any respect Recourse Provider’s or MuniMae’s obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph (c) is intended to limit Xxxxxx Mae’s liability under any Credit Enhancement Agreement to the beneficiaries thereof.

(d) Procedures. In the event that any action or proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Party with respect to which indemnity may be sought, Recourse Provider or MuniMae, as applicable, upon written notice from the Indemnified Party, shall assume the investigation and defense thereof, including the employment of counsel selected by Recourse Provider or MuniMae, as applicable, but acceptable to the Indemnified Party, and shall assume the payment of all expenses related thereto, with full power to litigate, compromise or settle the same in its discretion; provided that if such settlement or compromise shall contain or infer an admission regarding, or relating in any way to, any Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to review and approve or disapprove any such compromise or settlement. Each Indemnified Party shall have the right, if such Indemnified Party shall conclude in good faith that a conflict of interest exists, to employ separate counsel in any such action or proceeding and participate in the investigation and defense thereof, and Recourse Provider or MuniMae, as applicable, shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel. If separate counsel are employed as described above, Recourse Provider or MuniMae, as applicable, and any such Indemnified Party agree to cooperate as may reasonably be required in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any such action, suit or proceeding, including making available to each other, and their counsel and accountants, all books and records relating to such action, suit or proceeding. If any such counsel determines that the rendering of such assistance will adversely affect the defense or interests of its client, such counsel shall not be required to comply with the terms of the immediately preceding sentence. The obligation of Recourse Provider or MuniMae, as applicable, set forth in the preceding sentences shall be collectively referred to as the “Indemnity Payment.” Such Indemnity Payment shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days after Recourse Provider or MuniMae, as applicable, shall have received notice that any of such costs, losses, damages or expenses are paid or incurred by Xxxxxx Xxx. The obligation of Recourse Provider or MuniMae to pay the Indemnity Payment shall constitute an obligation separate and distinct from any other obligation of Recourse Provider to reimburse Xxxxxx Mae under this Agreement. In the event Recourse Provider or MuniMae, as applicable, fails to perform such obligation and make the Indemnity Payment in accordance with this Section 7.1 when due, Xxxxxx Xxx shall have the right to pursue any right or remedy it may have in law or at equity by reason of such failure.

(e) Survival. The indemnity provisions of this Section 7.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and Foreclosure or Release of the Mortgage Loans or other disposition of the Mortgaged Properties; provided, however, that following an assignment of the obligations of Recourse Provider or MuniMae made in accordance with the terms of Section 9.1(b) or Section 9.1(c), as applicable, the assigning party shall not remain liable under the indemnity provisions of this Section 7.1 for items

occurring or arising prior to the date of such assignment so long as all such obligations are specifically assumed by the assignee; provided further, however, that in the event the assignee does not agree to specifically assume MuniMae’s indemnification obligations in Sections 7.1(b)(ii) and (iv), such indemnification obligations shall remain the obligations of MuniMae and MuniMae shall execute such acknowledgements and agreements as Xxxxxx Mae may reasonably require to evidence MuniMae’s continuing obligations under Section 7.l(b)(ii) and (iv).

Any assignment of the obligations of Recourse Provider or MuniMae pursuant to the terms of Section 9.1(b) or Section 9.1(c), as applicable, shall, subject to Section 7.1(e) and Section 9.1(b) or Section 9.1(c), as applicable, operate to relieve the assigning party of all of its obligations under this Agreement from and after the date of the assignment. Subject to Section 7.1(e) and Section 9.1 (b) and/or Section 9.1(c), as applicable, the assigning party shall not be deemed to continue making any representations, warranties

and covenants under this Agreement after the date of the assignment and shall not remain liable for any representations, warranties and covenants made prior to the date of the assignment so long as all such obligations are specifically assumed by the assignee. The obligations of the assigning party under Article V shall cease upon assignment even though the obligations of the assigning party shall continue under Section 4.2(i) and Section 7.1 (a) (ii) and (iv) and/or Section 7.1(b}(ii) and (iv), as applicable, as provided in Section 7.1(e) and Section 9.1(b) and/or Section 9.1(c), as applicable.

SECTION 9.8 Consent of Xxxxxx Mae.

If any provision of this Agreement provides for the approval, consent, election, determination, exercise of discretion, choice, designation, judgment or waiver of or by Xxxxxx Xxx and if a basis for Xxxxxx Mae granting such approval, consent, determination, election, exercise of discretion, choice, designation, judgment or waiver is not otherwise stated (i.e., that such approval, consent, election, determination, exercise of discretion, choice, designation, judgment or waiver will be “reasonable”), then in each case such approval, consent, determination, election, exercise of discretion, choice, designation, judgment or waiver will be given by Xxxxxx Xxx in its sole and absolute discretion.

SECTION 9.9 Servicer; Termination of Servicer; Amendments.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (except for Section 8.2) and in the other Transaction Documents, Xxxxxx Mae hereby agrees that it shall not terminate or remove any Servicer at any time during which Recourse Provider has Decision Control unless (a) the Servicer shall have failed to perform its obligations under the applicable Servicing Agreement, or (b) the Servicer loses its designation as a Xxxxxx Xxx approved multifamily servicer. Xxxxxx Mae shall give five (5) Business Days prior notice to Recourse Provider of its decision to terminate or remove a Servicer under clause (a) above; provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not prejudice Xxxxxx Mae’s right to terminate or remove the Servicer. The parties agree that each Servicer and any successor Servicer under the Transaction Documents shall at all times be a Xxxxxx Xxx approved multifamily servicer.

Xxxxxx Mae hereby agrees that so long as no Event of Default or Potential Default exists under this Agreement and so long as the Acceptable Collateral on deposit in the Collateral Account equals or exceeds the Collateral Requirement, it shall not amend or modify the Servicing Agreement or the Special Servicing Agreement related to any Mortgage Loan with respect to which Recourse Provider has Decision Control to delete the concept of “Approval Party” or to substantially change the rights of Recourse Provider relating to the application of Decision Control without the prior written consent of Recourse Provider. Recourse Provider agrees that Xxxxxx Xxx may amend or modify any Servicing Agreement or Special Servicing Agreement in any other respect without the consent of Recourse Provider.

SECTION 9.10 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FEDERAL LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES, AND, TO THE EXTENT THERE IS NO APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW, THE LAWS OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO INTERNAL CHOICE OF LAW RULES.

RECOURSE PROVIDER, MUNIMAE AND XXXXXX MAE IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.
