The applicable Seller is obligated to repurchase and take physical possession of the Purchased Mortgage Loans from Administrative Agent or its designee (including the Custodian) at the applicable Seller’s expense on the related Repurchase Date, and upon receipt of the Repurchase Price therefor, Administrative Agent is obligated to tender (or cause its designee to tender) such physical possession of the Purchased Mortgage Loans to the applicable Seller on the related Repurchase Date. Upon such transfer of the Mortgage Loans back to the applicable Seller as set forth in this Section,

 

23


 

ownership of each Mortgage Loan, including each document in the related Mortgage File and Records, is vested in the applicable Seller. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Sellers shall have the right, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, to repurchase any Purchased Mortgage Loan.

 

b.                                             Provided that no Default shall have occurred and is continuing, and Administrative Agent has received the related Repurchase Price (excluding accrued and unpaid Price Differential, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be paid on the next succeeding Price Differential Payment Date) upon repurchase of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, Administrative Agent and Buyers will each be deemed to have released their respective interests hereunder in the Purchased Mortgage Loans (including, the Repurchase Assets related thereto) at the request of the applicable Seller. The Purchased Mortgage Loans (including the Repurchase Assets related thereto) shall be delivered to the Sellers free and clear of any lien, encumbrance or claim of Administrative Agent or the Buyers. With respect to payments in full by the related Mortgagor of a Purchased Mortgage Loan, the applicable Seller agrees to (i) provide Administrative Agent with a copy of a report from the related Servicer indicating that such Purchased Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, (ii) remit to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers, within two (2) Business Days after the applicable Seller’s receipt of such payment in full, the Repurchase Price with respect to such Purchased Mortgage Loans and (iii) provide Administrative Agent a notice specifying each Purchased Mortgage Loan that has been prepaid in full. Administrative Agent and Buyers agree to release their respective interests in Purchased Mortgage Loans which have been prepaid in full after receipt of evidence of compliance with clauses (i) through (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence.

 

5.                                      Price Differential

 

a.                                             On each Business Day that a Transaction is outstanding, the Pricing Rate shall be reset and, unless otherwise agreed, the accrued and unpaid Price Differential shall be settled in cash on each related Price Differential Payment Date. Two (2) Business Days prior to the Price Differential Payment Date, Administrative Agent shall give Sellers written or electronic notice of the amount of the Price Differential due on such Price Differential Payment Date. On the Price Differential Payment Date, Sellers shall pay to Administrative Agent the Price Differential for the benefit of Buyers for such Price Differential Payment Date (along with any other amounts to be paid pursuant to Section 7 hereof and Section 3 of the Pricing Side Letter), by wire transfer in immediately available funds.

 

b.                                             If Sellers fail to pay all or part of the Price Differential by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the related Price Differential Payment Date, with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan, Sellers shall be obligated to pay to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers (in addition to, and together with,

 

24


 

the amount of such Price Differential) interest on the unpaid Repurchase Price at a rate per annum equal to the Post-Default Rate until the Price Differential is received in full by Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers.

 

c.                                              Sellers, or either of them, may remit to Administrative Agent funds up to the then-outstanding Purchase Price, to be applied as of the date such funds are received by Administrative Agent towards the aggregate outstanding Purchase Price of Purchased Mortgage Loans subject to outstanding Transactions on a pro rata basis. The Price Differential shall be applied, and shall accrue on the Purchase Price then outstanding, after such application of such funds as provided in the preceding sentence, subject to Section 6.d.

 

6.                                      Margin Maintenance

 

a.                                             If at any time the outstanding Purchase Price of any Purchased Mortgage Loan subject to a Transaction is greater than the Asset Value of such Purchased Mortgage Loan subject to a Transaction (a “Margin Deficit”), then Administrative Agent may by notice to Sellers require Sellers to transfer to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers cash in an amount at least equal to the Margin Deficit (such requirement, a “Margin Call”), as more fully provided in Section 6(b) immediately below.

 

b.                                             Notice delivered pursuant to Section 6(a) may be given by any written means. Except as provided below, any notice given before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day; notice given after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the following Business Day (the foregoing time requirements for satisfaction of a Margin Call are referred to as the “Margin Deadlines”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the applicable Margin Deficit is greater than [***] the Margin Deadline set forth above shall apply with respect to [***] and the balance of the Margin Deficit (i.e., the amount thereof in excess of [***]) shall be satisfied by no later than 5:00 pm (New York City time) on the third (3rd) Business Day following the date of the Margin Call; provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The failure of Administrative Agent, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights hereunder, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Administrative Agent to do so at a later date. Sellers and Administrative Agent each agree that a failure or delay by Administrative Agent to exercise its rights hereunder shall not limit or waive Administrative Agent’s or Buyers’ rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for Sellers.

 

c.                                              In the event that a Margin Deficit exists with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan, Administrative Agent may retain any funds received by it to

 

25


 

which the Sellers would otherwise be entitled hereunder, which funds (i) shall be held by Administrative Agent against the related Margin Deficit and (ii) may be applied by Administrative Agent against any Purchased Mortgage Loan for which the related Margin Deficit remains otherwise unsatisfied. Administrative Agent shall give Sellers written notice of any funds so retained and/or applied by Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent retains the right, in its sole good faith discretion, to make a Margin Call in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.

 

d.                                             If at any time the Asset Value of the aggregate of all Purchased Mortgage Loans subject to a Transaction hereunder as of any date of determination is greater than the aggregate Purchase Price of all Purchased Mortgage Loans subject to a Transaction hereunder as of such date (a “Margin Excess”), then Sellers may, by delivery of written notice to Administrative Agent by 10:00 a.m. (New York Time) on any Business Day (an “Excess Margin Notice”), require Administrative Agent either to (i) remit additional Purchase Price in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) such Margin Excess and (y) the amount requested by Sellers or (ii) reallocate the Purchase Price to Purchased Mortgage Loans with Margin Excess in order to release Purchased Mortgage Loans which, following such reallocation, will have a Purchase Price of zero (0). Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to remit Margin Excess or release Purchased Mortgage Loans pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above to the extent (A) it would cause the outstanding Purchase Price to exceed the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price or otherwise be inconsistent with the requirements or conditions of this Agreement; (B) a Default has occurred and is continuing or would exist after such action by Administrative Agent or (C) such action would cause a Margin Deficit.

 

7.                                      Income Payments

 

a.                                             If Income is paid in respect of any Purchased Mortgage Loan during the term of a Transaction, such Income shall be the property of Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers agrees that if a third-party Servicer is in place for any Purchased Mortgage Loans, such Servicer shall deposit such Income to the Collection Account. Each Seller shall deposit all Income received in its capacity as Servicer of any Purchased Mortgage Loans to the Collection Account in accordance with Section 12(a)(3) hereof.

 

b.                                             Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, on each Price Differential Payment Date, each Seller shall remit to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers an amount equal to the Price Differential out of the interest portion of the Income paid in respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans for the preceding month in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon termination of any Transaction on the Repurchase Date, to the extent that there is any excess Income after repayment of all amounts to be transferred to

 

26


 

Administrative Agent by the applicable Seller, Administrative Agent shall remit such excess to the applicable Seller.

 

c.                                              In the event that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, notwithstanding any provision set forth herein, each Seller shall remit to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers all Income received with respect to each Purchased Mortgage Loan on the related Price Differential Payment Date or on such other date or dates as Administrative Agent notifies Sellers in writing.

 

d.                                             Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section 7, within two (2) Business Days of receipt by either Seller of any prepayment of principal in full, with respect to a Purchased Mortgage Loan, the applicable Seller shall remit such amount to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers and Administrative Agent shall immediately apply any such amount received by Administrative Agent to reduce the amount of the Repurchase Price due upon termination of the related Transaction.

 

e.                                              Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon notice by Administrative Agent to Sellers, Sellers shall remit to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers all collections received by Servicer or Sellers on the Purchased Mortgage Loans in accordance with Administrative Agent’s directions no later than the day on which aggregate collections of principal and interest (excluding principal prepayments) on the Purchased Mortgaged Loans reaches an amount to be indicated by Administrative Agent (pursuant to prior written notice to Sellers) in Administrative Agent’s sole good faith discretion.

 

8.                                      Security Interest

 

On each Purchase Date, the applicable Seller hereby sells, assigns and conveys all rights and interests in the Purchased Mortgage Loans identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and the related Repurchase Assets to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers. Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases and not loans, in the event any such Transactions are deemed to be loans, and in any event, each Seller hereby pledges to Administrative Agent as security for the performance of Sellers’ Obligations and hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Administrative Agent a fully perfected first priority security interest in Sellers’ right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Mortgage Loans, any Agency Security or right to receive such Agency Security when issued, in each case, only to the extent specifically backed by Purchased Mortgage Loans, the Records, and all related Servicing Rights, the Program Agreements (to the extent such Program Agreements and each Seller’s right thereunder relate to the Purchased Mortgage Loans), any related Take-Out Commitments, any Property of any Seller (to the extent such Property relates to the Purchased Mortgage Loans), all insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Purchased Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to, any payments or proceeds under any related primary insurance, hazard insurance and FHA Mortgage Insurance Contracts, VA Loan Guaranty Agreements and Rural Housing Service Guaranty agreements (if any), Income, the Collection Account, Interest Rate Protection Agreements, accounts (including any interest of any Seller in escrow accounts) and any other contract rights, instruments, accounts, payments, rights

 

27


 

to payment (including payments of interest or finance charges), general intangibles and other assets of any Seller, to the extent that the same relates to the Purchased Mortgage Loans (including, without limitation, any other accounts) or any interest in the Purchased Mortgage Loans, and any proceeds (including the related securitization proceeds) and distributions with respect to any of the foregoing and any other property, rights, title or interests as are specified on a Transaction Request and/or Trust Receipt and Certification, in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created (collectively, the “Repurchase Assets”). Each Seller agrees to execute, deliver and/or file such documents and perform such acts as may be reasonably necessary to fully perfect Administrative Agent’s security interest created hereby. Furthermore, each Seller hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file financing statements relating to the Repurchase Assets, as the Administrative Agent, at its option, may deem appropriate. The Sellers shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon a Seller’s payment of the Repurchase Price to Administrative Agent, any security interest of Administrative Agent in the related Mortgage Loan and in any proceeds thereof shall be released by Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers. Upon a Seller’s written request, Administrative Agent shall take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to evidence any such termination of a security interest in the related Mortgage Loan.

 

Each Seller acknowledges that it has no rights to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in the event that each Seller is deemed to retain any residual Servicing Rights, and for the avoidance of doubt, each Seller grants, assigns and pledges to Administrative Agent a security interest in the Servicing Rights and proceeds related thereto and in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created. The foregoing provision is intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to this Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Sections 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

Administrative Agent and Quicken Loans hereby agree that in order to further secure Quicken Loans’ Obligations hereunder, Quicken Loans hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each applicable Buyer, a security interest in Quicken Loans’ rights (but not its obligations) under the Servicing Facility Documents, including without limitation any rights to assets and rights to receive payments thereunder, but not including rights (including rights to receive payments) in and under the collateral thereunder, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created (collectively, the “Servicing Facility Rights”). Quicken Loans shall deliver an irrevocable instruction to the buyers or administrative agent under the Servicing Facility Documents that upon receipt of notice of an Event of Default under this Agreement, the buyers or administrative agent thereunder is authorized and instructed to remit to Administrative Agent hereunder directly any amounts otherwise payable to Quicken Loans under the Servicing Facility Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, such notice shall also require, upon repayment of the entire Obligations (as defined in the Servicing Facility Documents) under the Servicing Facility Agreement and the termination of all obligations of the buyers thereunder or other termination of the Servicing Facility Documents following repayment of all obligations thereunder, that, if an Event of Default shall then exist under this Agreement, or the Servicing Facility Documents, the buyers or administrative agent thereunder shall deliver

 

28


 

to Administrative Agent hereunder any amounts otherwise payable to Quicken Loans under the Servicing Facility Documents. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, such grant of a security interest in Servicing Facility Rights shall terminate (i) when CSFBMC or its Affiliates do not constitute all of the “Buyers” (as defined in the Servicing Facility Agreement) or all of the Buyers under this Agreement, or (ii) when the outstanding aggregate “Repurchase Price” under such Servicing Facility Agreement has been paid in full and the Servicing Facility Agreement has been terminated.

 

With respect to the Servicing Facility Rights, Section 4.05 of the Servicing Facility Agreement is deemed to apply and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

9.                                     Payment and Transfer

 

Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing, all transfers of funds to be made by Sellers hereunder shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Administrative Agent at the following account maintained by Administrative Agent: Account No. [***] for the account of CSFB Administrative Agent /Quicken Loans Inc. Seller-Inbound Account, Citibank, ABA No. [***] or such other account as Administrative Agent shall specify to Sellers in writing. Each Seller acknowledges that it has no rights of withdrawal from the foregoing account. All Purchased Mortgage Loans transferred by one party hereto to the other party shall be in the case of a purchase by a Buyer in suitable form for transfer or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank and such other documentation as Administrative Agent may reasonably request. All Purchased Mortgage Loans shall be evidenced by a Trust Receipt and Certification. Any Repurchase Price received by Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day.

33


 

increase in the cost to such Buyer in engaging in the present or any future Transactions, then Sellers agree to pay to such Buyer, from time to time, upon demand by such Buyer (with a copy to Custodian) the actual cost of additional amounts as specified by such Buyer to compensate such Buyer for such increased costs.

 

c.                                              With respect to any Transaction, Administrative Agent and Buyers may conclusively rely upon, and shall incur no liability to Sellers in acting upon, any request or other communication that Administrative Agent and Buyers reasonably believe to have been given or made by a person authorized to enter into a Transaction on Sellers’ behalf, whether or not such person is listed on the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 10.b(2) hereof.

 

d.                                             Notwithstanding the assignment of the Program Agreements with respect to each Purchased Mortgage Loan to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers, each Seller agrees and covenants with Administrative Agent and Buyers to use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce such Seller’s rights and remedies set forth in the Program Agreements.

 

e.                                              (i) Any payments made by Sellers to Administrative Agent or a Buyer or permitted Buyer assignee hereunder or any Program Agreement shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any Seller shall be required by applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent) to deduct or withhold any Tax from any sums payable to Administrative Agent or a Buyer or permitted Buyer assignee, then (i) such Seller shall make such deductions or withholdings and pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law; (ii) to the extent the withheld or deducted Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 11(e)) Administrative Agent or the applicable Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made; and (iii) such Seller shall notify the Administrative Agent of the amount paid and shall provide the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the relevant Governmental Authority evidencing such payment as soon as practicable but no later than thirty (30) days thereafter. Sellers shall otherwise indemnify Administrative Agent and such Buyer, within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor, for any Indemnified Taxes imposed on Administrative Agent or such Buyer (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 11(e)) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Sellers by a Buyer or Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Administrative Agent or the applicable Buyer shall promptly repay to Sellers any refund of any amounts received by any of them that can be directly attributable to the Program Documents, as determined by Administrative Agent in its sole good faith discretion, and amounts paid pursuant to this Section 11.

 

34


 

(ii) Administrative Agent shall cause each Buyer and permitted Buyer assignee to deliver to the Sellers, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Sellers, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Sellers as will permit payments made hereunder to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Administrative Agent shall cause each Buyer and permitted Buyer assignee, if reasonably requested by Sellers, to deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Sellers as will enable the Sellers to determine whether or not such Buyer or permitted Buyer assignee is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation in Section 11(e)(ii)(A), (B) and (C) below) shall not be required if in such Buyer’s or any permitted Buyer’s assignee’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Buyer or permitted Buyer assignee to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Buyer or permitted Buyer assignee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall cause a Buyer or permitted Buyer assignee to deliver to the Sellers the following properly completed and duly executed documents, to the extent legally entitled to do so:

 

(A)          in the case of a Buyer or permitted Buyer assignee which is a “U.S. Person” as defined in section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, a properly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 (or any successor form thereto) certifying that it is not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

 

(B)           in the case of a Buyer or permitted Buyer assignee which is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Code section 7701(a)(30): (I) a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, as appropriate, evidencing entitlement to a zero percent (0%) or reduced rate of U.S. federal income tax withholding on any payments made hereunder, (II) in the case of such non-U.S. Person claiming exemption from the withholding of U.S. federal income tax under Code sections 871(h) or 881(c) with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” a duly executed certificate (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) to the effect that such non-U.S. Person is not (x) a “bank” within the meaning of Code section 881(c)(3)(A), (y) a “10 percent shareholder” of any Seller or affiliate thereof, within the meaning of Code section 881(c)(3)(B), or (z) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Code section 881(c)(3)(C), (III) to the extent such non-U.S. person is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if such non-U.S. person is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such non-U.S. person are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such non-U.S. person may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner, and (IV) executed originals of any other form or supplementary documentation prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax together

 

35


 

with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by law to permit a Seller to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

 

(C)           if a payment made to a Buyer or permitted Buyer assignee under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Buyer or permitted assignee 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), Administrative Agent on behalf of such Buyer or permitted assignee shall deliver to the Sellers at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Sellers 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 the Sellers as may be necessary for the Sellers to comply with their obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 11(e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 

The applicable IRS forms referred to above shall be delivered by Administrative Agent on behalf of each applicable Buyer or permitted Buyer assignee on or prior to the date on which such person becomes a Buyer or permitted Buyer assignee under this Agreement, as the case may be, and upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any IRS form previously delivered by it hereunder.

 

f.                                        Any indemnification payable by Sellers to Administrative Agent or a Buyer or permitted Buyer assignee for Indemnified Taxes that are imposed on such Buyer or permitted Buyer assignee, as described in Section 11(e)(i) hereof, shall be paid by Sellers within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor from Administrative Agent. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Sellers by the Administrative Agent on behalf of a Buyer or permitted Buyer assignee shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

g.                                       If Administrative Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 11(e) (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 11(g)), it shall pay to the Sellers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of Administrative Agent and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Sellers, upon the request of Administrative Agent, shall repay to Administrative Agent the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will Administrative Agent be required to pay any amount to Sellers pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place Administrative Agent in a less favorable net after-Tax position than Administrative Agent would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been

 

36


 

deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require Administrative Agent to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to Sellers or any other Person.

 

h.                                      Each party’s obligations under this Section 11 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Buyer or a permitted Buyer assignee, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Program Agreement.

 

i.                                          Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Sellers that is secured by the Purchased Mortgage Loans, and the Purchased Mortgage Loans as owned by Sellers in the absence of an Event of Default by Seller. Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers and Sellers agree that they will treat and report for all tax purposes the Transactions entered into hereunder as one or more loans from a Buyer to Sellers secured by the Purchased Mortgage Loans, unless otherwise prohibited by law or upon a final determination by any taxing authority that the Transactions are not loans for tax purposes.

b.                                    Servicing with Respect to One Reverse

(5)                                 Upon written notice, Administrative Agent shall have the right to immediately terminate the Servicer’s right to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans under the Servicing Agreement without payment of any penalty or termination fee.

39


 

13.                               Representations and Warranties

 

a.                               Each Seller represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and Buyers as of the date hereof and as of each Purchase Date for any Transaction that:

 

(1)                                 Seller Existence. Quicken Loans has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Michigan. One Reverse has been duly organized and is validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

(2)                                 Licenses. Each Seller is duly licensed or is otherwise qualified in each jurisdiction in which it transacts business for the business which it conducts and is not in default of any applicable federal, state or local laws, rules and regulations unless, in either instance, the failure to take such action is not reasonably likely (either individually or in the aggregate) to cause a Material Adverse Effect and is not in default of such state’s applicable laws, rules and regulations. Each Seller has the requisite power and authority and legal right to originate and purchase Mortgage Loans (as applicable) and to own, sell and grant a lien on all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, and to execute and deliver, engage in the transactions contemplated by, and perform and observe the terms and conditions of, this Agreement, each Program Agreement and any Transaction Request. Each Seller is a HUD approved mortgagee and, to the extent a Seller is originating VA Loans, a VA Approved Lender and, to the extent a Seller is originating RHS Loans, a Rural Housing Service Approved Lender.

 

(3)                                 Power. Each Seller has all requisite corporate or other power, and has all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted, except where the lack of such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(4)                                 Due Authorization. Each Seller has all necessary corporate or other power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Program Agreements, as applicable. This Agreement, any Transaction Request and the Program Agreements have been (or, in the case of Program Agreements and any Transaction Request not yet executed, will be) duly authorized, executed and delivered by each applicable Seller, all requisite or other corporate action having been taken, and each is valid, binding and enforceable against each applicable Seller in accordance with its terms except as such enforcement may be affected by bankruptcy, by other insolvency laws, or by general principles of equity.

 

(5)                                 Financial Statements. Quicken Loans has heretofore furnished to Administrative Agent a copy of its consolidated balance sheet of Quicken Loans as of December 31, 2016 and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and of cash flows for Quicken Loans for the year then ended, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous year ended December 31, 2015, with the opinion thereon of Ernst & Young. All such financial statements are complete and correct in all material respects and fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial

 

40


 

condition of Quicken Loans and the consolidated results of its operations as at such dates and for such fiscal periods, all in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. As of the date of this Agreement, since December 31, 2016, there has been no material adverse change in the consolidated business, operations or financial condition of Quicken Loans from that set forth in said financial statements nor is Quicken Loans aware of any state of facts which (with notice or the lapse of time) would or would be reasonably likely to result in any such material adverse change. Quicken Loans has, on the date of the statements delivered pursuant to this Section (the “Statement Date”) no liabilities, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, or liabilities for taxes, long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments not disclosed by, or reserved against in, said balance sheet and related statements, and at the present time there are no material unrealized or anticipated losses from any loans, advances or other commitments of Quicken Loans except as heretofore disclosed to Administrative Agent in writing.

 

(6)                                 Event of Default. There exists no Event of Default under Section 15(b) hereof, which default gives rise to a right to accelerate Indebtedness as referenced in Section 15(b) hereof, under any mortgage, borrowing agreement or other instrument or agreement pertaining to indebtedness for borrowed money or to the repurchase of mortgage loans or securities.

 

(7)                                 Solvency. Quicken Loans, on a consolidated basis, is solvent and will not be rendered insolvent by any Transaction and, after giving effect to such Transaction, will not be left with an unreasonably small amount of capital with which to engage in its business. Quicken Loans, on a consolidated basis, does not intend to incur, nor does it believe that it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature and is not contemplating the commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official in respect of such entity or any of its assets. The amount of consideration being received by Sellers upon the sale of the Purchased Mortgage Loans to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for such Purchased Mortgage Loans. Neither Seller is transferring any Purchased Mortgage Loans with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors.

 

(8)                                 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by each applicable Seller of this Agreement, any Transaction Request hereunder and the Program Agreements do not conflict with any term or provision of the applicable certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, limited liability company agreement or by-laws of such Seller or any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree applicable to such Seller of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over such Seller, which conflict would have a Material Adverse Effect and will not result in any violation of any such mortgage, instrument, agreement or obligation to which such Seller is a party.

 

41


 

(9)                                 True and Complete Disclosure. All information, reports, exhibits, schedules, financial statements or certificates of each Seller or any Affiliate thereof or any of their officers furnished or to be furnished to Administrative Agent or Buyers in connection with the initial or any ongoing due diligence of each Seller, or any Affiliate or officer thereof, and the negotiation, preparation, or delivery of the Program Agreements are true and complete in all material respects and do not omit to disclose any material facts necessary to make the statements herein or therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading. All financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.

 

(10)                          Approvals. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, registration or filing with, or notice to any governmental authority or court is required under applicable law in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by each applicable Seller of this Agreement, any Transaction Request and the Program Agreements.

 

(11)                          Litigation. Except as set forth in Schedule 3 attached hereto, there is no action, proceeding or investigation pending with respect to which either of the Sellers has received service of process or, to the best of each Seller’s knowledge threatened against it before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal (A) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, any Transaction, Transaction Request or any Program Agreement, (B) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any Transaction Request or any Program Agreement, (C) making a claim individually or in an aggregate amount greater than [***] (D) which requires filing with the SEC in accordance with the 1934 Act or any rules thereunder or (E) which might materially and adversely affect the validity of the Mortgage Loans or the performance by it of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement, any Transaction Request or any Program Agreement.

 

(12)                          Material Adverse Change. There has been no material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition or properties of the Sellers, taken as a whole, since the date set forth in the most recent financial statements supplied to Administrative Agent.

 

(13)                          Ownership. Upon payment of the Purchase Price and the filing of the financing statement and delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Custodian and the Custodian’s receipt of the related Request for Certification, the Administrative Agent shall become the sole owner of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and related Repurchase Assets for the benefit of the Buyers, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.

 

(14)                          Underwriting Guidelines. The Underwriting Guidelines provided to Administrative Agent are the true and correct Underwriting Guidelines of each Seller.

 

42


 

(15)                          Taxes. Each Seller has filed all federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns that are required to be filed by it and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by it, except for any such taxes as are subject to a Good Faith Dispute. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of each Seller in respect of taxes and other governmental charges are, in the opinion of such Seller, adequate.

 

(16)                          Investment Company. No Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(20)                          ERISA. Each Plan to which each of the Sellers or its Subsidiaries make direct contributions, and, to the knowledge of Sellers, each other Plan and each Multiemployer Plan, is in compliance in all material respects with, and has been administered in all material respects in compliance with, the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other federal or state law.

 

43


 

(21)                          Adverse Selection. Neither Seller has selected the Purchased Mortgage Loans in a manner so as to adversely affect Buyers’ interests.

 

(22)                          Agreements. No Seller nor any Subsidiary of any Seller is a party to any agreement, instrument, or indenture or subject to any restriction materially and adversely affecting its business, operations, assets or financial condition, except as disclosed in the financial statements described in Section 13(a)(5) hereof. No Seller nor any Subsidiary of any Seller is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement, instrument, or indenture which default could have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, or financial condition of Sellers as a whole. No holder of any Indebtedness of any Seller or of any of its Subsidiaries has given notice of any asserted material default thereunder.

 

(23)                          Other Indebtedness. All Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement) of Sellers existing on the date hereof is listed on Exhibit J hereto (the “Existing Indebtedness”).

 

(24)                          Agency Approvals. With respect to each Agency Security and to the extent necessary, Quicken Loans is an FHA Approved Mortgagee and a VA Approved Lender and One Reverse is an FHA Approved Mortgagee. Quicken Loans is also approved by Fannie Mae as an approved lender and Freddie Mac as an approved seller/servicer, and, to the extent necessary, approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act. In each such case, each Seller is in good standing, with no event having occurred or such Seller having any reason whatsoever to believe or suspect will occur prior to the issuance of the Agency Security or the consummation of the Take-Out Commitment, as the case may be, including, without limitation, a change in insurance coverage which would either make a Seller unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for maintaining all such applicable approvals or require notification to the relevant Agency or to HUD, FHA or VA. Should a Seller for any reason cease to possess all such applicable approvals, or should notification to the relevant Agency or to HUD, FHA or VA be required, Sellers shall so notify Administrative Agent immediately in writing. Each Seller has adequate financial standing, servicing facilities, procedures and experienced personnel necessary for the sound servicing of mortgage loans of the same types as may from time to time constitute Mortgage Loans sold by it to Administrative Agent hereunder and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

 

(25)                          No Reliance. Each Seller has made its own independent decisions to enter into the Program Agreements and each Transaction and as to whether such Transaction is appropriate and proper for it based upon its own judgment and upon advice from such advisors (including without limitation, legal counsel and accountants) as it has deemed necessary. Neither Seller is relying

 

44


 

upon any advice from Administrative Agent or Buyers as to any aspect of the Transactions, including without limitation, the legal, accounting or tax treatment of such Transactions.

 

(26)                          Plan Assets. No Seller is an employee benefit plan as defined in Section 3 of Title I of ERISA, or a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, and the Purchased Mortgage Loans are not “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 CFR §2510.3 101 as amended by Section 3(42) of ERISA, in a Seller’s hands, and transactions by or with a Seller are not subject to any foreign, state or local statute regulating investments or fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA or church plans within the meaning of Section 3(33) of ERISA.

b.                                       With respect to every Purchased Mortgage Loan, each Seller represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and Buyers as of the applicable Purchase Date for any Transaction and each date thereafter that each representation and warranty set forth on Schedule 1 is true and correct.

 

c.                                        The representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall survive transfer of the Purchased Mortgage Loans to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers and to each Buyer and shall continue for so long as the Purchased Mortgage Loans are subject to this Agreement. Upon discovery by Sellers, Servicer or Administrative Agent of any breach of any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement, the party discovering such breach shall promptly give notice of such discovery to the others.

 

d.                                       Each of Administrative Agent and Buyers, as applicable, represents, warrants and covenants (as applicable) to Sellers that, as of the date hereof and as of each Purchase Date for any Transaction that:

 

(1)                                 Organization. Licenses and Standing. Each of Administrative Agent and Buyers is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has all licenses necessary to carry on its business as now being conducted;

 

45


 

(2)                                 Due Authority. Each of Administrative Agent and Buyers has the full power and authority to perform, and to enter into and consummate, all transactions contemplated by this Agreement; Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers and each Buyer has the full power and authority to purchase and hold each Mortgage Loan;

 

(3)                                 No Conflict. Neither the acquisition of the Mortgage Loans by Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers or any Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, will conflict with or result in a material breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of Administrative Agent’s or any Buyer’s charter or by-laws or result in a material breach of any legal restriction or any material agreement or instrument to which Administrative Agent or such Buyer is now a party or by which it is bound, or constitute a material default or result in an acceleration under any of the foregoing, or result in the violation of any material law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which Administrative Agent or such Buyer or its property is subject;

 

(4)                                 No Pending Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation or litigation pending which would materially and adversely affect the ability of Administrative Agent or any Buyer to enter into this Agreement or to perform its obligations hereunder; and

 

(5)                                 No Consent Required. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by Administrative Agent or any Buyer of or compliance by Administrative Agent or any Buyer with this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or if required, such consent, approval, authorization or order has been obtained prior to the related Purchase Date.

 

Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that such Seller’s sole remedy for a breach of a representation and warranty of the Administrative Agent and Buyers hereunder shall be to repurchase all Mortgage Loans subject to Transactions hereunder at the Repurchase Price.

 

14.                              Covenants

 

Each Seller covenants with Administrative Agent and Buyers that, during the term of this facility:

 

a.                                       Financial and other Unique Covenants. Quicken Loans shall comply with all financial covenants set forth in Section 2 of the Pricing Side Letter.

 

b.                                       Reserved.

 

c.                                        Litigation. Each Seller will promptly, and in any event within sixty (60) days after service of process on any of the following, give to Administrative

 

46

e.                                        Reserved.

 

f.                                         Servicer; Asset Tape. Upon the occurrence of any of the following (a) the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, (b) the fifth (5th) Business Day of each month, or (c) upon the written request of Administrative Agent, Sellers shall cause each Servicer to provide to Administrative Agent, electronically, in a format mutually acceptable to Administrative Agent and Sellers, an Asset Tape by no later than the Reporting Date.

j.                                          Security Interest. Each Seller shall do all things necessary to preserve the Purchased Mortgage Loans and the related Repurchase Assets so that they remain subject to a first priority perfected security interest hereunder.

Sellers will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to not allow any such papers, records or files that are an original or an only copy to leave Custodian’s possession, except for individual items removed in connection with servicing a specific Mortgage Loan, in which event Sellers will obtain or cause to be obtained a receipt from a financially responsible person for any such paper, record or file. Sellers or the Servicer of the Purchased Mortgage Loans will maintain all such Records not in the possession of Custodian in good and complete condition in accordance with industry practices for assets similar to the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Sellers shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to preserve such Records against loss.

 

(2)                                 For so long as Administrative Agent has an interest in or lien on any Purchased Mortgage Loan, Sellers will hold or cause to be held all related Records in trust for Administrative Agent. Sellers shall notify, or cause to

be notified, every other party holding any such Records of the interests and liens in favor of Administrative Agent granted hereby.

 

(3)                                 Upon reasonable advance written notice from Custodian or Administrative Agent, Sellers shall (x) make any and all such Records available to Custodian, Administrative Agent to examine any such Records, either by its own officers or employees, or by agents or contractors, or both, and make copies of all or any portion thereof, and (y) permit Administrative Agent or its authorized agents to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of each Seller with its chief operating officer and chief financial officer and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of such Seller with its independent certified public accountants (which shall only be done in the presence of such Seller’s controller or other officer designated by such Seller, which Person such Seller shall make available to Administrative Agent).

There shall not be (i) any material change by Sellers, taken as a whole, in the nature of their business as carried on at the date hereof, or (ii) any change in the Executive Management of Quicken Loans, in each case, unless Administrative Agent otherwise consents to such Seller’s written request therefor.

 

o.                                       Distributions. During the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default related to Sellers’ failure to comply with Sections 2.1, 2.3 or 2.4 of the Pricing Side Letter, Quicken Loans shall not (absent Administrative Agent’s prior written consent) pay any dividends with respect to any capital stock or other equity interests in such entity, whether now or hereafter outstanding, or make any other distribution in respect thereof, either directly or indirectly, whether in cash or property or in obligations of either Seller (any such payment a “Prohibited Distribution”); provided that (i) Quicken Loans may pay dividends or make any such other distribution solely in connection with the payment of taxes attributable to the preceding fiscal year, so long as such payment or distribution does not, after giving effect thereto, result in an Event of Default, and (ii) this Section 14(o) shall not restrict dividends or distributions by One Reverse unless there shall have occurred and is continuing a One Reverse Termination Trigger Event pursuant to clause (6) of the definition thereof or One Reverse ceases to be owned wholly and directly by Quicken Loans, in which

 

49


 

case One Reverse shall not make any Prohibited Distribution while it is a party to this Agreement and the Program Agreements.

 

p.                                       Applicable Law. Each Seller shall comply in all material respects with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority.

s.                                         Taxes. Each Seller shall pay and discharge all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed on it or on its income or profits or on any of its property prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto, except for any such tax, assessment, charge or levy the payment of which is the subject of a Good Faith Dispute.

 

t.                                          Transactions with Affiliates. No Seller will enter into any transaction, including, without limitation, any purchase, sale, lease or exchange of property or the rendering of any service, with any Affiliate unless such transaction is (1) between One Reverse (while it is a Seller) and Quicken Loans, or (2) upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to such Seller than it would obtain in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person which is not an Affiliate, nor shall any Seller make a payment that is otherwise prohibited by this Agreement to any Affiliate; provided, that this clause shall not apply to the extent that such transaction(s) consist of a lending arrangement with such Affiliate where the total amount of such transactions are, when made, less than the amount that such Seller could have otherwise distributed as a dividend to all of its shareholders without such distribution (after giving effect thereto) resulting in an Event of Default.

 

u.                                       Guarantees. No Seller shall create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Guarantees, except (i) those to which Administrative Agent consents in writing, (ii) those reflected in such Seller’s financial statements or notes thereto, to the extent so reflected, (iii) those by one Seller for the benefit of the other Seller, (iv) those disclosed in Exhibit J, as updated from time to time, and (v) those Guarantees in addition to those permitted by clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) to the extent that they do not exceed [***] in the aggregate for both Sellers combined.

 

v.                                       Indebtedness. No Seller shall incur any additional Indebtedness in an amount greater than [***] combined (other than (i) the Existing

 

50


 

Indebtedness in amounts not to exceed the amounts specified on Exhibit J hereto, (ii) Guarantees permitted under Section 14(u) and (iii) usual and customary accounts payable for a mortgage company) without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if the additional Indebtedness would not cause a violation of any of such Seller’s covenants in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the restrictions in the immediately preceding sentence, it is understood and agreed that each Seller shall be permitted to: (1) increase the amount of its existing credit under its Existing Indebtedness and/or replace, refinance (including with a different lender), renew or extend such credit; (2) incur additional indebtedness with another lender secured by mortgage loans or mortgage servicing rights (and related advances); and/or (3) enter into another reverse repurchase facility similar to the one being provided under this Agreement; provided, however, that any such action contemplated by this sentence shall not cause a violation of any of such Seller’s covenants in this Agreement.

 

w.                                     Hedging. Quicken Loans has entered into Interest Rate Protection Agreements with respect to the Non-Agency QM Mortgage Loan and Conforming Mortgage Loans.

 

x.                                       True and Correct Information.

All required financial statements, information and reports delivered by each Seller to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or, if applicable, to SEC filings, the appropriate SEC accounting regulations.

 

y.                                       Agency Approvals; Servicing. Quicken Loans shall maintain its status with Fannie Mae as an approved lender and Freddie Mac as an approved seller/servicer, in each case in good standing. Sellers shall service all Purchased Mortgage Loans which are Committed Mortgage Loans in accordance, in all material respects, with the applicable agency guide, if any. Should Quicken Loans, for any reason, cease to possess all applicable Agency approvals, or should notification to the relevant Agency or to HUD, FHA or VA be required, Quicken Loans shall so notify Administrative Agent immediately in writing. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Quicken Loans shall take all necessary action to maintain all of its required Agency approvals at all times during the term of this Agreement and each outstanding Transaction; provided, that, it shall not be a breach of this Section 14(y) should (1) Quicken Loans no longer maintain an applicable Agency’s approval so long as the failure to maintain any Agency approvals is an independent decision of Quicken Loans and in no way is attributed to a disapproval or other adverse action taken against Quicken Loans specifically (as opposed to all approved lenders generally) by the applicable

 

51


 

Agency, and (2) Quicken Loans maintain at least one Agency approval. Each Seller or its Servicer has adequate financial standing, servicing facilities, procedures and experienced personnel necessary for the sound servicing of mortgage loans of the same types as may from time to time constitute Mortgage Loans sold by it to Administrative Agent hereunder and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

 

z.                                        Take-out Payments.

With respect to any Agency Take-Out Commitment, if applicable, (1) with respect to the wire transfer instructions as set forth in Freddie Mac Form 987 (Wire Transfer Authorization for a Cash Warehouse Delivery) such wire transfer instructions are identical to Administrative Agent’s wire instructions or Administrative Agent has approved such wire transfer instructions in writing in its sole good faith discretion, or (2) the Payee Number set forth on Fannie Mae Form 1068 (Fixed-Rate, Graduated-Payment, or Growing-Equity Mortgage Loan Schedule) or Fannie Mae Form 1069 (Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loan Schedule), as applicable, is identical to the Payee Number that has been identified by Administrative Agent in writing as Administrative Agent’s Payee Number or Administrative Agent has previously approved the related Payee Number in writing in its sole good faith discretion; with respect to any Take-Out Commitment with an Agency, the applicable agency documents shall list Administrative Agent as sole subscriber, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Administrative Agent, in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion.

 

aa.                                No Pledge. Except pursuant to this Agreement, no Seller shall pledge, transfer or convey any security interest in the Collection Account to any Person (other than Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers) without the express written consent of Administrative Agent.

 

bb.                                Plan Assets. No Seller shall be an employee benefit plan as defined in Section 3 of Title I of ERISA, or a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code and no Seller shall use “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 CFR §2510.3 101, as amended by Section 3(42) of ERISA to engage in this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder. Transactions by or with any Seller shall not be subject to any foreign, state or local statute regulating investments of or fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA or church plans within the meaning of Section 3(33) of ERISA.

 

cc.                                  Furnishing of Financial Information. Each Seller shall furnish to Administrative Agent promptly, copies of any material financial information relating to such Seller’s Indebtedness that is not otherwise required to be provided by such Seller hereunder which, from and after the date of this Agreement, is given to such Seller’s lenders, with appropriate time permitted for

 

52


 

such Seller to redact any information that is confidential and/or unrelated to the financial information.

 

dd.                                Preservation of Rights. Each Seller shall preserve and maintain all of its material rights, privileges, licenses and franchises, except for transactions that do not constitute a Change in Control or would otherwise cause a Default.

ii.                                        Sharing of Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Sellers shall allow the Administrative Agent and Buyers to exchange information related to any Seller’s collateral and the performance of its financing arrangements with such Seller’s lenders and the collateral subject to those agreements and the Sellers shall permit each of its lenders to share such information with the Administrative Agent and Buyers.

53


 

arising under this subsection (b) and all consequences thereof shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by Administrative Agent, if, within [***] after Sellers received notice of such acceleration, (i) the Indebtedness that was the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged, or (ii) the holder or holders thereof have rescinded, annulled or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default, or (iii) the default that was the basis for such Event of Default has been cured.

 

c.                                        Assignment. Assignment or attempted assignment by any Seller of this Agreement or any rights hereunder without first obtaining the specific written consent of Administrative Agent, or the granting by any Seller of any security interest, lien or other encumbrances on any Purchased Mortgage Loans to any person other than Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers.

54


 

(iii) Administrative Agent, in its sole good faith discretion, determines that such breach of a material representation, warranty or covenant materially and adversely affects (A) the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Sellers, taken as a whole; or (B) Administrative Agent’s determination to enter into this Agreement or Transactions with the Sellers, taken as a whole, then such breach shall constitute an immediate Event of Default and Sellers shall have no cure right hereunder).

A final judgment or judgments for the payment of money in excess of [***] in the aggregate shall be rendered against any Seller by one or more courts, administrative tribunals or other bodies having jurisdiction and the same shall not be satisfied, discharged (or provision shall not be made for such discharge) or bonded, or a stay of execution thereof shall not be procured, within [***] from the date of entry thereof.

 

k.                                       Government Action. Any Governmental Authority or any person, agency or entity acting or purporting to act under governmental authority shall have taken any action to condemn, seize or appropriate, or to assume custody or control of, all or any substantial part of the Property of Sellers, taken as a whole, or shall have taken any action to displace the Executive Management of Quicken Loans or to materially curtail its authority in the conduct of the business of the Sellers, taken as a whole, or takes any action in the nature of enforcement to remove, limit or restrict the approval of Quicken Loans as an issuer or buyer of Mortgage Loans or securities backed thereby, and such action provided for in this subparagraph k (i) is determined by Administrative Agent in its sole good faith discretion to be materially adverse to Administrative Agent and Buyers taken as a whole, the Sellers, taken as a whole, or the Repurchase Assets, taken as a whole, ability to perform under this Agreement and (ii) shall not have been discontinued or stayed within [***].

 

l.                                           Inability to Perform. A member of any Seller’s Executive Management shall admit such Seller’s inability to, or its intention not to, perform any of such Seller’s Obligations hereunder.

An Event of Default shall be deemed to be continuing unless expressly waived by Administrative Agent in writing.

 

16.                               Remedies Upon Default

 

In the event that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

 

a.                                       Administrative Agent may, at its option (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency of any Seller), declare an Event of Default to have occurred hereunder and, upon the exercise or deemed exercise of such option, 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). Administrative Agent shall (except upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency of any Seller) give written notice to Sellers of the exercise of such option as promptly as practicable.

 

b.                                       If Administrative Agent exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Section, (i) Sellers’ obligations in such Transactions to repurchase all Purchased Mortgage Loans, at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date determined in accordance with subparagraph (a) of this Section, shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (ii) all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by Administrative Agent and applied, in Administrative Agent’s sole good faith discretion, to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices for all outstanding Transactions and any other amounts owing by Sellers hereunder, and (iii) Sellers shall immediately deliver to Administrative Agent the Mortgage Files relating to any Purchased Mortgage Loans subject to such Transactions then in Sellers’ possession or control.

 

c.                                        Administrative Agent also shall have the right to obtain physical possession, and to commence an action to obtain physical possession, of (i) all Records of each Seller relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans and (ii) all documents relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans (including, without limitation, any legal, credit or servicing files specifically relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans), which Records and documents are then or may

 

56


 

thereafter come in to the possession of such Seller or any third party acting for such Seller; provided, however, that if such Records and documents relate to mortgage loans other than the Purchased Mortgage Loans Administrative Agent shall have a right to obtain copies of such Records and documents rather than the originals. To obtain physical possession of any Purchased Mortgage Loans held by Custodian, Administrative Agent shall present to Custodian a Trust Receipt and Certification. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to specific performance of all agreements of such Seller contained in this Agreement.

 

d.                               Administrative Agent shall have the right to direct all servicers then servicing any Purchased Mortgage Loans to remit all collections thereon to Administrative Agent, and if any such payments are received by a Seller, such Seller shall not commingle the amounts received with other funds of either Seller and shall promptly pay them over to Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall also have the right to terminate any one or all of the servicers then servicing any Purchased Mortgage Loans with or without cause. In addition, Administrative Agent shall have the right to immediately sell the Purchased Mortgage Loans and liquidate all Repurchase Assets. Such disposition of Purchased Mortgage Loans may be, at Administrative Agent’s option, on either a servicing released or a servicing retained basis. Administrative Agent shall not be required to give any warranties as to the Purchased Mortgage Loans with respect to any such disposition thereof. Administrative Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans. The foregoing procedure for disposition of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and liquidation of the Repurchase Assets shall not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale thereof. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to place the Purchased Mortgage Loans in a pool for issuance of mortgage backed securities at the then prevailing price for such securities and to sell such securities for such prevailing price in the open market. Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to sell any or all of such Mortgage Loans individually for the prevailing price. Administrative Agent shall also be entitled, in its sole discretion to elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Mortgage Loans, to give the Sellers credit for such Purchased Mortgage Loans and the Repurchase Assets in an amount equal to the Asset Value of the Purchased Mortgage Loans against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by the Sellers hereunder.

 

e.                                        Upon the happening of one or more Events of Default, Administrative Agent may apply any proceeds from the liquidation of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets to the Repurchase Prices hereunder and all other Obligations in the manner Administrative Agent deems appropriate in its sole discretion.

 

f.                                         Sellers shall be liable to Administrative Agent and each Buyer for (i) the amount of all reasonable legal or other expenses (including, without limitation, all costs and expenses of Administrative Agent and each Buyer in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other agreement evidencing a

 

57


 

Transaction, whether in action, suit or litigation or bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally, further including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default) and (ii) and any other out-of-pocket loss, damage, cost or expense arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default, including without limitation, reasonable costs under the circumstances incurred with the intention to mitigate losses, in respect of a Transaction.

 

g.                                        To the extent permitted by applicable law, Sellers shall be liable to Administrative Agent and each Buyer for interest on any amounts owing by Sellers hereunder, from the date Sellers become liable for such amounts hereunder until such amounts are (i) paid in full by Sellers or (ii) satisfied in full by the exercise of Administrative Agent’s and Buyers’ rights hereunder. Interest on any sum payable by Sellers under this Section 16(g) shall be at a rate equal to the Post-Default Rate.

 

h.                                       Administrative Agent shall have, in addition to its rights hereunder, any rights otherwise available to it under any other agreement or applicable law.

 

i.                                           Administrative Agent may exercise one or more of the remedies available to Administrative Agent immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and, except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (including, without limitation, as provided in subsections (a) and (d) of this Section), at any time thereafter without notice to Sellers. All rights and remedies arising under this Agreement as amended or restated from time to time hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Administrative Agent may have.

 

j.                                          Administrative Agent may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and each Seller hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law (and absent any willful misconduct or gross negligence of Administrative Agent), any defenses a Seller might otherwise have to require Administrative Agent to enforce its rights by judicial process. Each Seller also waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law (and absent any willful misconduct or gross negligence of Administrative Agent), any defense (other than a defense of payment or performance) a Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process in connection with the disposition of all or any portion of the Repurchase Assets, or from any other election of remedies. Each Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

 

k.                                       Administrative Agent shall have the right to perform reasonable due diligence with respect to each Seller and the Mortgage Loans, which review shall be at the expense of Sellers (except as otherwise expressly provided herein).

 

58


 

l.                                           With respect to any Second Lien Mortgage Loan, Administrative Agent shall have the right to exercise any rights available to the Sellers with respect to any Take-Out Commitment.

18.                               Repurchase Transactions

 

a.                                       General. A Buyer may, in its sole election, engage in repurchase transactions (as “seller” thereunder) with any or all of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and/or Repurchase Assets or pledge, hypothecate, assign, transfer or otherwise convey any or all of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and/or Repurchase Assets with a counterparty of Buyers’ choice (such transaction, a “Repledge Transaction”). Any Repledge Transaction shall be effected by notice to the

 

Administrative Agent, and shall be reflected on the books and records of the Administrative Agent. No such Repledge Transaction shall relieve Administrative Agent or any Buyer of its obligations under the Program Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to transfer Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets to Sellers (and not substitutions thereof) pursuant to the terms hereof; provided, that, notwithstanding any such Repledge

 

62


 

Transaction by a CP Conduit and notwithstanding anything in the Program Agreements to the contrary, CS Cayman shall be liable for the failure of any CP Conduit to comply with any of its obligations under any of the Program Agreements.

 

b.                               Treatment of Repledge Transactions. In furtherance, and not by limitation of, the foregoing, but subject to the remainder of this paragraph b, it is acknowledged that each counterparty under a Repledge Transaction (a “Repledgee”), is a repledgee as contemplated by Sections 9-207 and 9-623 of the UCC (and the relevant Official Comments thereunder). For clarity, Administrative Agent and Buyers acknowledge and agree as follows:

 

(1)                                 No Waiver. Nothing in this Section 18 shall be deemed to be an actual or implied waiver of any rights of Sellers or obligations of Administrative Agent or Buyers under the Program Agreements, including, without limitation, claims for conversion of any Purchased Mortgage Loans or Repurchase Assets that are not returned to Sellers on the Repurchase Date, claims for breach of any of the Program Agreements and rights to have income on the related Purchased Mortgage Loans credited or paid to, or applied to the obligations of, the applicable Seller pursuant to the Program Agreements.

 

(2)                                 Specifically Identifiable. The Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets subject to Transactions under this Agreement are specifically identifiable, even after a Repledge Transaction.

 

(3)                                 Sellers and Repledgees May Deal Directly. Upon an event of default by a Buyer under a Repledge Transaction, and without any interference from the Administrative Agent or the Buyers, the applicable Seller may pay the Repurchase Price with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans subject to such Repledge Transaction, directly to the Repledgee on behalf of the applicable Buyer in satisfaction of the applicable Seller’s Repurchase Price payment obligations to Administrative Agent and Buyers under the Program Agreements with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loan subject to such Repledge Transaction, and the Repledgee may, in its sole discretion, release any Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets directly to the applicable Seller on behalf of the applicable Buyers and Administrative Agent in satisfaction of its obligations under the Repledge Transaction; provided, that, such satisfaction shall not be deemed a satisfaction of any obligations related to the Purchased Mortgage Loans not subject to such Repledge Transaction.

 

(4)                                 Termination of Transaction Upon Tender of Repurchase Price Even if Purchased Mortgage Loans Cannot be Returned. Upon any tender of Repurchase Price in exchange for Purchased Mortgage Loans in accordance with Section 4 hereof, if the Administrative Agent is unable to return any of the Purchased Mortgage Loans (such Mortgage Loans, the “Unreturned Mortgage Loans”) in exchange for payment of such Repurchase Price, then, without releasing any other claims Sellers may have against Buyers hereunder, the

 

63


 

Repurchase Price on account of such Unreturned Mortgage Loans shall be deemed paid hereunder by means of offset, and no further Price Differential shall accrue with respect thereto.

 

c.                                        Information Sharing. Administrative Agent and Buyers are each hereby authorized to share any information delivered hereunder with the Repledgee; provided, that, any such Repledgee shall execute a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to Sellers, it being understood that such agreement shall be deemed acceptable by Sellers if it contains terms at least as restrictive as those set forth in Section 32 hereof, and Administrative Agent and Buyers shall reasonably cooperate with Sellers in enforcing such confidentiality agreement for the benefit of Sellers; provided further, that no Seller shall be subject to any additional reporting requirements other than as set forth in the Program Agreements.

 

d.                                       Right to Return of Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, including, without limitation, any of the provisions of Section 45 hereof, the Administrative Agent and the Buyers covenant and agree that to the extent any Purchased Mortgage Loans or Repurchase Assets are subject to Repledge Transactions, the Sellers’ right to obtain the return of such Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets as contemplated hereunder shall not be impaired solely as a result of the performance of any assets that are subject to the same Repledge Transactions that are not subject to this Agreement.

 

19.                               Single Agreement

 

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

 

20.                              Notices and Other Communications

 

Any and all notices (with the exception of Transaction Requests, which shall be delivered via facsimile or email or other electronic transmission only, statements, demands or other communications hereunder may be given by a party to the other by mail, email, facsimile, messenger or otherwise to the address specified below, or so sent to such party at any other place specified in a notice of change of address hereafter received by the other. All notices, demands and requests hereunder may be made orally, to be confirmed promptly in writing, or by other

 

64


 

communication as specified in the preceding sentence. In all cases, to the extent that the related individual set forth in the respective “Attention” line is no longer employed by the respective Person, such notice may be given to the attention of a Responsible Officer of the respective Person or to the attention of such individual or individuals as subsequently notified in writing by a Responsible Officer of the respective Person.

21.                              Entire Agreement; Severability

 

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

 

22.                              Non assignability

 

a.                                      Assignments. The Program Agreements are not assignable by any Seller. Subject to Section 37 (Acknowledgment of Assignment and Administration of Repurchase Agreement) and the provisions of this Section 22 (Non assignability) hereof, Administrative Agent and Buyers may from time to time assign all or a portion of their rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Program Agreements if (i) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) such assignment is to an Affiliate of Administrative Agent or (iii) such assignment is to any other Person, with (in respect of this clause (iii) and in the absence of an Event of Default) Seller’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however that Administrative Agent shall maintain, solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Sellers, for review by Sellers upon written request, a register of assignees and participants (the “Register”) and a copy of an executed assignment and acceptance by Administrative Agent, each applicable Buyer and assignee (“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Sellers, Administrative Agent and Buyers shall treat each Person whose name is properly recorded in the Register pursuant to the preceding sentence as a Buyer (or Administrative Agent, as applicable) hereunder. Upon such assignment and recordation in the Register and compliance with clause (b) below, (a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Program Agreement to the extent of the percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and shall succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of Administrative Agent and Buyers hereunder, as applicable, and (b) Administrative Agent and Buyers shall, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned by them to either (i) an Affiliate of Administrative Agent which assumes the obligations of Administrative Agent and Buyers, as applicable or (ii) another Person approved by Sellers (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) which assumes the obligations of Administrative Agent and Buyers, as applicable, be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Program Agreements. Any assignment hereunder shall be deemed a joinder of such assignee as a Buyer hereto. Unless otherwise stated in the Assignment and Acceptance, Sellers shall continue to take directions solely from Administrative Agent unless otherwise notified by Administrative Agent in writing. Administrative Agent and Buyers may distribute to any prospective assignee this Agreement, the other Program Agreements, any document or other information delivered to Administrative Agent and/or Buyers by Sellers; provided, however, that any such prospective assignee shall execute a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to Sellers, it being understood that such agreement shall be deemed acceptable by Sellers if it contains terms at least as restrictive as those set forth in Section 32 hereof, and Administrative Agent and Buyers shall reasonably cooperate with Sellers in enforcing such confidentiality agreement for the benefit of Sellers; provided, further, no Seller shall be subject to any additional reporting requirements other than as set forth in the Program Agreements.

 

67


 

b.             Participations. Any Buyer may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and under the Program Agreements; provided, however, that (i) such Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Program Agreements shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Buyer shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) Sellers shall continue to deal solely and directly with Administrative Agent and/or Buyers in connection with such Buyer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Program Agreements. Administrative Agent and Buyers may distribute to any prospective or actual participant this Agreement, the other Program Agreements any document or other information delivered to Administrative Agent and/or Buyers by Sellers; provided, however, that any such prospective participant shall execute a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to Sellers, it being understood that such agreement shall be deemed acceptable by Sellers if it contains terms substantially similar to those set forth in Section 32 hereof, and Administrative Agent and Buyers shall reasonably cooperate with Sellers in enforcing such confidentiality agreement for the benefit of Sellers; provided, further, no Seller shall be subject to any additional reporting requirements other than as set forth in the Program Agreements.

 

23.                               Set-off

 

In addition to any rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and Buyers hereunder and by law, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Buyers shall have the right, without prior notice to Sellers (except for such notice and right to cure as may be specifically provided hereunder in connection with certain Events of Default), any such notice being expressly waived by Sellers to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Sellers hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount due and payable by a Seller hereunder to a Buyer or any of its Affiliates any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by or due from Administrative Agent or any Affiliate of Administrative Agent that is the “Administrative Agent” as defined in the Servicing Facility Agreement (but for such Affiliate of Administrative Agent, only until the earlier of (i) the date such Affiliate of Administrative Agent ceases to be the “Administrative Agent” as defined in the Servicing Facility Agreement, and (ii) the date the aggregate outstanding “Repurchase Price” under such Servicing Facility Agreement has been paid in full and all “Transactions” under the Servicing Facility Agreement have terminated) to or for the credit or the account of Sellers. Administrative Agent agrees promptly to notify Sellers after any such set-off and application made by Administrative Agent; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

 

24.                               Binding Effect; Governing Law; Jurisdiction

 

a.             This Agreement shall be binding and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Each Seller acknowledges that the obligations of Administrative Agent and Buyers hereunder or otherwise are not the subject of any guaranty by, or recourse to, any direct or indirect parent or other Affiliate of Administrative Agent and Buyers.

 

68


 

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

 

b.             EACH SELLER HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY. EACH SELLER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM AGREEMENTS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING. EACH SELLER HEREBY SUBMITS TO, AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY HAVE TO, EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM AGREEMENTS.

 

25.          No Waivers, Etc.

 

No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either party shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto. Without limitation on any of the foregoing, the failure to give a notice pursuant to Section 6(a), 16(a) or otherwise, will not constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later date.

 

26.                               Intent

 

a.             The parties recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, and a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(38A)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code, that all payments hereunder are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments” as defined in Title 11 of the United States Code, and that the pledge of the Repurchase Assets constitutes “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” the Agreement and Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code. Sellers, Administrative Agent and Buyers further recognize and intend that this Agreement is an agreement to provide financial accommodations and is not subject to assumption pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365(a).

 

69


 

b.               Any party’s right to liquidate the Purchased Mortgage Loans delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or otherwise exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 16 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate, accelerate or terminate such Transaction as described in Bankruptcy Code Sections 555, 559 and 561; any payments or transfers of property made with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction to satisfy a Margin Deficit shall be considered a “margin payment” as such term is defined in Bankruptcy Code Section 741(5).

 

c.               The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term is defined in FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).

 

d.               It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA).

 

e.               This Agreement is intended to be a “repurchase agreement” and a “securities contract,” within the meaning of Section 101(47), Section 555, Section 559 and Section 741 under the Bankruptcy Code.

 

f.                Each party agrees that this Agreement is intended to create mutuality of obligations among the parties, and as such, the Agreement constitutes a contract which (i) is between all of the parties and (ii) places each party in the same right and capacity.

 

27.                               Disclosure Relating to Certain Federal Protections

 

The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:

 

a.               in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15 of the 1934 Act, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the SIPA do not protect the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder;

 

b.               in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a government securities broker or a government securities dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide protection to the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; and

 

70


 

c.             in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial institution, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable.

 

28.          Power of Attorney

 

Each Seller hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Repurchase Assets without such Seller’s signature thereon as Administrative Agent, at its option, may deem appropriate. Each Seller hereby appoints Administrative Agent as such Seller’s agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any such financing statement or statements in such Seller’s name and to perform all other acts which Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate to perfect and continue its ownership interest in and/or the security interest granted hereby, if applicable, and to protect, preserve and realize upon the Repurchase Assets, including, but not limited to, the right to endorse notes, complete blanks in documents, transfer servicing, and sign assignments on behalf of such Seller as its agent and attorney-in-fact. This agency and power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable without Administrative Agent’s consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the power of attorney hereby granted may be exercised only during the occurrence and continuance of any Default hereunder. Sellers shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section 28. In addition the foregoing, each Seller agrees to execute a Power of Attorney in the form of Exhibit E hereto, to be delivered on the date hereof. Such Power of Attorney shall terminate when all obligations under the Program Documents have been satisfied and this Agreement has been terminated.

 

29.          Buyers May Act Through Administrative Agent

SCHEDULE 1

 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO PURCHASED MORTGAGE LOANS

 

Each Seller makes the following representations and warranties to Administrative Agent with respect to each Purchased Mortgage Loan that is subject to a Transaction hereunder and at all times such Purchased Mortgage Loan is subject to a Transaction hereunder that is in full force and effect. With respect to those representations and warranties which are made to the best of a Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by such Seller or Administrative Agent that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate, notwithstanding such Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty for purposes of determining Asset Value.

 

(a)           Mortgage Loan Schedule. The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, including any diskette or other related data tapes sent to the Administrative Agent, is complete, true and correct in all material respects as of the Purchase Date.

 

(b)           Fee Simple. Except with respect to Second Lien Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage creates a first lien or a first priority ownership interest in an estate in fee simple in real property securing the related Mortgage Note (except as provided for in clause (k) below). With respect to a Second Lien Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage creates a second lien or a second priority ownership interest in an estate in fee simple in real property securing the related Mortgage Note (except as provided for in clause (k) below).

 

(c)                                  Reserved.

 

(d)           Payments Current.  All payments due on or prior to the Purchase Date for such Mortgage Loan have been made as of the Purchase Date, the Mortgage Loan is not thirty (30) days or more delinquent in payment and has not been dishonored; there are no material defaults under the terms of the Mortgage Loan; there has been no more than one delinquency of thirty (30) days or more during the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period.

 

(e)           No Outstanding Charges. All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents and any other charges payable on the Mortgage Loan which previously became due and owing are non-delinquent, have not become a lien upon the property or have been paid, or escrow funds have been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such escrowed item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No Seller has advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Loan.

 

(f)            Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments which have been recorded to the extent any such recordation is required by law, or,

 

Schedule 1-1


 

necessary to protect the interest of Buyers. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, from the terms thereof except in connection with an assumption agreement and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related primary mortgage insurance policy and title insurance policy, to the extent required by the related policies.

 

(g)           No Defenses. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage Note or Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto; and the Mortgagor was not a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated.

 

(h)           Hazard Insurance. All buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are provided for in the Agency Guides. All such standard hazard policies are in full force and effect and on the date of origination contained a standard mortgagee clause naming the applicable Seller and its successors in interest and assigns as loss payee and such clause is still in effect and all premiums due thereon have been paid. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration which policy conforms to Agency Guides (as defined below in this Schedule 1). The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and upon the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor.

 

(i)            Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with in all material respects.

 

(j)            No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled or subordinated, in whole or in part, or rescinded, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. No Seller has waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has any Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor.

 

(k)           Valid First or Second Lien. The related Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien, or solely with respect to a Second Lien Mortgage Loan, a second lien, on the Mortgaged Property and, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property

 

Schedule 1-2


 

and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems affixed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing securing the Mortgage Note’s original principal balance. The Mortgage and the Mortgage Note do not contain any evidence of any security interest or other interest or right thereto. Such lien is free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and encumbrances having priority over the first lien, or solely with respect to a Second Lien Mortgage Loans, a second lien, of the Mortgage subject only to, (1) the lien of non-delinquent current real property taxes, dues/taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording which are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and either (A) which are referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan, or (B) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in such appraisal, (3) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property or (4) solely with respect to a Second Lien Mortgage Loan, the related first lien. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security interest, or solely with respect to a Second Lien Mortgage Loan, a second lien and second priority security interest, on the property described therein, and the applicable Seller has the full right to sell and assign the same to the Administrative Agent.

 

(l)            Validity of Mortgage Documents; Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are original and genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in all respects in accordance with its terms subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors and by general equitable principles and the applicable Seller has taken all action necessary to transfer such rights of enforceability to the Administrative Agent. All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had the legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any Seller or, to the best of such Seller’s knowledge, the Mortgagor or on the part of any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan. Except for HECM Loans, the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan, other than a home equity revolving line of credit, have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and, except for HECM Loans, any and all requirements as to completion of any on site or off-site improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid or are in the process of being paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage (excluding refunds which may result from escrow analysis adjustments).With respect to any broker fees collected and paid on any of the Mortgage Loans, all broker fees have been properly assessed to the borrower and no claims will arise as to broker fees that are double charged and for which the borrower would be entitled to reimbursement.

 

Schedule 1-3


 

(m)          Ownership. The applicable Seller or its affiliate is the sole owner of record and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note, and upon recordation a Buyer or its designee will be the owner of record of the Mortgage and the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note, and upon the sale of the Mortgage Loan to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Buyers, the applicable Seller will retain the servicing file in trust for the Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers only for the purpose of interim servicing and supervising the interim servicing of the Mortgage Loan. Upon the transfer and assignment to the Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers on the Purchase Date, the Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, were not subject to an assignment or pledge, and the applicable Seller had good and marketable title to and was the sole owner thereof and had full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest and has the full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign the Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of the Mortgage Loan, the Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest. The applicable Seller intends to relinquish all rights to possess, control and monitor the Mortgage Loan, except for the purposes of interim servicing the Mortgage Loan as set forth in this Agreement.

 

(n)           Title Insurance. To the extent required pursuant to the Underwriting Guidelines, each Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Administrative Agent with respect to Non-Agency Non-QM Mortgage Loans and Non-Agency QM Mortgage Loans and Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, GNMA, HUD or VA with respect to Agency Mortgage Loans or as required by an approved Take-out Investor insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in clause (k)(1), (2), (3) and (4) above) the applicable Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien, or solely with respect to a Second Lien Mortgage Loan, second priority lien, of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. Where required by applicable state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. The applicable Seller, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, such title insurance policy has been duly and validly endorsed to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers or the assignment to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers of such Seller’s interest therein does not require the consent of or notification to the insurer and such lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including any Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy.

 

(o)           No Defaults. There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no event has occurred which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration; and neither the Sellers nor any prior mortgagee has waived any default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration.

 

Schedule 1-4


 

(p)           No Mechanics’ Liens. There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and, except for HECM Loans, no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage.

 

(q)           Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements subject to the Mortgage which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property (and wholly within the project with respect to a condominium unit) and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except those which are insured against by the title insurance policy referred to in clause (m) above and all improvements on the property comply with all applicable zoning and subdivision laws and ordinances.

 

(r)            Origination; Payment Terms. The Mortgage Loan was originated by or for the Sellers or either one of them. The Mortgage Loan complies with all the terms, conditions and requirements of the applicable Seller’s Underwriting Guidelines in effect at the time of origination of such Mortgage Loan. With respect to each Mortgage Loan that is not a home equity revolving line of credit, the Mortgage Notes and Mortgages (exclusive of any riders) are on forms generally acceptable to Administrative Agent with respect to Non-Agency Non-QM Mortgage Loans and Non-Agency QM Mortgage Loans and to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, GNMA, HUD or VA with respect to Agency Mortgage Loans. With respect to home equity revolving line of credits, the Mortgage Notes, Mortgages and loan agreements are on forms created in accordance with the applicable Seller’s Underwriting Guidelines. The Mortgage Loan bears interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, and, except for HECM Loans and home equity revolving lines of credit, Monthly Payments under the Mortgage Note are due and payable on the first day of each month. The Mortgage contains the usual and enforceable provisions of the originator at the time of origination for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal amount of the Mortgage Loan if the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder.

 

(s)            No Condemnation Proceeding. The Mortgaged Property is not subject to any material damage by waste, fire, earthquake, windstorm, flood or other casualty. At origination of the Mortgage Loan there was, and there currently is, no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. There have not been any condemnation proceedings with respect to the Mortgaged Property and there are no such proceedings scheduled to commence at a future date.

 

(t)            Customary Provisions. The related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby. There is no homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage subject to applicable federal and state laws and judicial precedent with respect to bankruptcy and right of redemption.

 

Schedule 1-5


 

(u)           Deeds of Trust. If the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified if required under applicable law to act as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses, except as may be required by local law, are or will become payable by the Custodian or Administrative Agent to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale or attempted sale after default by the Mortgagor.

 

(v)           Appraisal. Unless Fannie Mae, FHA, Freddie Mac, GNMA, HUD or VA requires otherwise, the Mortgage File contains either (i) to the extent permitted by the applicable Agency, a Property Inspection Waiver (as defined in the applicable Agency guidelines) or (ii) an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the final approval of the mortgage loan application by a Qualified Appraiser (as defined below in this Schedule 1), who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of Fannie Mae, FHA, Freddie Mac, GNMA, HUD or VA and Title XI of FIRREA and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated. The appraisal is in a form acceptable to Fannie Mae, FHA, Freddie Mac, GNMA, HUD or VA.

 

(w)          Doing Business. All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (A) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (B) (1) organized under the laws of such state, or (2) qualified to do business in such state, or (3) federal savings and loan associations or national banks or a Federal Home Loan Bank or savings bank having principal offices in such state, or (4) not doing business in such state.

 

(x)           No Additional Collateral. The related Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to above and, except for Second Lien Mortgage Loans, such collateral does not serve as security for any other obligation.

 

(y)           Disclosure Materials. The Mortgagor was provided with all disclosure materials required by applicable law with respect to the making of such mortgage loans.

 

(z)           No Graduated Payments or Contingent Interests. The Mortgage Loan does not contain “graduated payment” or “shared appreciation” features; to the extent any Mortgage Loan contains any buydown provision, such buydown funds have been maintained and administered in accordance with, and such Mortgage Loan otherwise complies with, Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac requirements relating to buydown loans.

 

(aa)         No Defenses. The Mortgagor is not in bankruptcy or insolvent and no Seller has knowledge of any circumstances or condition which would cause the Mortgagor to file for bankruptcy or become insolvent.

 

Schedule 1-6


 

(bb)         Maturity. Except of HECM Loans, the Mortgage Loans have an original term to maturity of not more than thirty (30) years with, except for home equity revolving lines of credit, interest payable in arrears on the first day of each month. Other than with respect to Second Lien Mortgage Loans that are originated as a home equity revolving line of credit and except for HECM Loans, each Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment which is sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. Except for HECM Loans, no Mortgage Loan contains terms or provisions which would result in negative amortization.

 

(cc)         Primary Mortgage Guaranty Insurance. Except for Conforming High CLTV Loans, FHA Loans, HECM Loans, VA Loans, RHS Loans and Mortgage Loans underwritten in accordance with the Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance Policy Program, if a Mortgage Loan has an LTV greater than eighty percent (80%), the excess of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan over seventy-five (75%) of the Appraised Value, with respect to a Refinanced Mortgage Loan (as defined below in this Schedule 1), or the lesser of the Appraised Value or the purchase price of the Mortgaged Property, with respect to a purchase money Mortgage Loan, is and will be insured as to payment defaults by a primary mortgage insurance policy issued by a Qualified Insurer. All provisions of such primary mortgage insurance policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage. Any Mortgage Loan subject to such a primary mortgage insurance policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the primary mortgage insurance policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium.

 

(dd)         Transfer of Mortgage Loans. As to Mortgage Loans that are not Mortgage Loans registered on the MERS® System, the Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located.

 

(ee)         Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. As to Mortgage Loans that are not secured by an interest in a leasehold estate, the Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a townhouse, or a two-to four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development or a de minimis planned unit development, provided, however, that no residence or dwelling is a single parcel of real property with a cooperative housing corporation erected thereon, or a mobile home. As of the date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property was used for commercial purposes (other than the use of a portion of such Mortgaged Property as a home office), and since the date of origination no portion of the Mortgaged Property has been used for commercial purposes (other than the use of a portion of such Mortgaged Property as a home office).

 

(ff)          Disbursement. The date of the disbursement of the loan proceeds to or on behalf of the Mortgagor is no more than thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the Administrative Agent purchases the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to a Transaction hereunder.

 

Schedule 1-7


 

(gg)         No Prepayment Penalty.  No Mortgage Loan contains a prepayment penalty.

 

(hh)         Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. As of the related Purchase Date, the Mortgaged Property was lawfully occupied under applicable law, and all inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities.

 

(ii)           Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit or a planned unit development (other than a de minimis planned unit development), or stock in a cooperative housing corporation, such condominium, cooperative or planned unit development project meets the Fannie Mae’s eligibility requirements as set forth in the Fannie Mae Guides.

 

(jj)           Environmental Compliance. To the best of each Seller’s knowledge, there does not exist on the related Mortgage Property any hazardous substances, hazardous wastes or solid wastes, as such terms are defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq., the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. § 6901 et seq., or other applicable federal, state or local environmental laws, including, without limitation, asbestos, in each case in excess of the permitted limits and allowances set forth in such environmental laws to the extent such laws are applicable to the Mortgaged Property. There is no pending action or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue; there is no violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation with respect to the Mortgaged Property; and nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule or regulation constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said property.

 

(kk)         Servicemembers Civil Relief Act. The Mortgagor has not notified the Sellers of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act of 2003.

 

(ll)           Construction or Rehabilitation of Mortgaged Property. No Mortgage Loan was made in connection with the construction or rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or facilitating the trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property.

 

(mm)      No Defense to Insurance Coverage. No action has been taken or failed to be taken by the Sellers on or prior to the Purchase Date which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether arising out of actions, representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of the Sellers, or for any other reason under such coverage.

SCHEDULE 3

 

LITIGATION OF SELLERS

 

I. Ordinary Course of Business Litigation

 

As a residential mortgage lender originating, closing and servicing loans in all 50 states, Quicken Loans Inc. (and its Subsidiaries) may, at any point in time, be named as a party to dozens of legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business, such as actions alleging improper lending practices, improper servicing, quiet title actions, improper foreclosure practices, violations of consumer protection laws, etc. and on account of consumer bankruptcies. In many of these actions, Quicken Loans (and its Subsidiaries) may not be the real party of interest (because Quicken Loans is not the servicer of the loan or the holder of the note) but it may appear in the pleadings because it is in the chain of title to property over which there may be a dispute. Such matters are turned over to the servicer of the loan for those loans Quicken Loans or its Subsidiary do not service. In other cases, such as lien avoidance cases brought in bankruptcy, Quicken Loans or its Subsidiary are insured by title insurance and the case is turned over to the title insurer who tenders our defense.

 

As to other matters that arise in the ordinary course, management does not believe that the amount of liability, if any, for any of the pending matters individually or in the aggregate will materially affect Quicken Loans’ consolidated financial position in a material way. However, regardless of the outcome of this or other matters referred to herein, litigation can have a significant effect on Quicken Loans and its Subsidiaries for other reasons such as defense costs, diversion of management focus and resources, and other factors. To the best of Quicken Loans’ information and belief, there are no outstanding judgments, liens or orders that have not been satisfied.

III. Regulatory and Administrative Matters

 

As a non-depository mortgage banker, Quicken Loans (and its Subsidiaries) are regulated by and subject to various state agencies that oversee and regulate (a) mortgage lending and the activities of bank and/or non-bank financial institutions and/or (b) insurance agency / escrow agent activities and practices. These state agencies are generally authorized to: issue licenses or registrations where state law requires; conduct periodic on-site or remote audits or examinations of the regulated institution’s books, files and practices; investigate consumer complaints; issue findings of audit or compliance variances that may require refunds to borrowers for charges beyond those permitted under the state’s laws or regulations; assess fines or penalties if administrative rules are not adhered to, and/or require other corrective actions to be taken. These agencies also have the authority to seek revocation of an institution’s or individual’s license or registration to operate as a mortgage lender or loan originator in the state. In the ordinary course of business and in any given year, Quicken Loans (and its Subsidiaries) participate in and respond to numerous regular periodic state examinations, while at the same time responding to examination findings from other states. In some instances, Quicken Loans (and its Subsidiaries) may dispute the state agency’s findings and/or attempt to reconcile our differences. In other instances Quicken Loans (and its Subsidiaries) may undertake corrective action before being required to do so by the state regulator. In some states, the state’s attorney general may also investigate consumer complaints regarding mortgage lending and issue subpoenas, commence informal inquiries or formal investigations. As a licensed mortgage banker, we are in the ordinary course of business, subject to such inquiries and investigations. Quicken Loans and its Subsidiaries have thirty team members on its legal/compliance team consisting of in-house lawyers, paralegals and compliance personnel who manage this part of the business. Although Quicken Loans (and its Subsidiaries) may currently be subject to various state examinations and consumer complaint inquiries, management does not believe the outcomes of these examinations or inquiries, individually or in the aggregate, will materially affect Quicken Loans’ consolidated financial position or operations in a material way.

FORM OF POWER OF ATTORNEY

 

KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that [             ] (“Seller”) hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital LLC (“Administrative Agent”) 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 Administrative Agent’s discretion in accordance with the terms of the Third Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time) dated May 24, 2017 (the “Agreement”), for the purpose of carrying out the terms of the Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or reasonably desirable to accomplish the purposes of the Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby gives Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of Seller, without assent by, but with notice to, Seller, if permitted under the terms of the Agreement to do the following, for the purpose of:

 

(a)                                 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 assets purchased by Administrative Agent on behalf of certain Buyers under the Agreement (the “Assets”) and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any assets whenever payable;

 

(b)                                 to pay or discharge taxes and liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Assets;

 

(c) (i)                    to direct any party liable for any payment under any Assets to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Administrative Agent or as Administrative Agent shall direct; (ii) 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 Assets; (iii) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any Assets; (iv) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Assets or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Assets; (v) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Seller with respect to any Assets; (vi) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (v) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Administrative Agent may in its sole good faith discretion deem appropriate; and (vii) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Assets as fully and completely as though Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Administrative Agent’s option and Seller’s expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Administrative Agent in its sole good faith discretion deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Assets and Administrative Agent’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of the Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Seller might do;

 

D-1


 

(d)                                 for the purpose of carrying out the transfer of servicing with respect to the Assets from Seller to a successor servicer appointed by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish such transfer of servicing, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby gives Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of Seller, without assent by Seller, to, in the name of Seller or its own name, or otherwise, prepare and send or cause to be sent “good-bye” letters to all mortgagors under the Assets, transferring the servicing of the Assets to a successor servicer appointed by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion; and

 

(e)                                  for the purpose of delivering any notices of sale to mortgagors or other third parties, including without limitation, those required by law.

 

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, unless as otherwise provided in the Agreement. This power of attorney amends, restates and supersedes any previous power of attorney between Seller and Administrative Agent.

 

Any capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Agreement.

 

Seller also authorizes Administrative Agent, from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in the Agreement, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Assets.

 

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

 

TO INDUCE ANY THIRD PARTY TO ACT HEREUNDER, SELLER HEREBY AGREES THAT ANY THIRD PARTY RECEIVING A DULY EXECUTED COPY OR FACSIMILE OF THIS INSTRUMENT MAY ACT HEREUNDER, AND THAT REVOCATION OR TERMINATION HEREOF SHALL BE INEFFECTIVE AS TO SUCH THIRD PARTY UNLESS AND UNTIL ACTUAL NOTICE OR KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH REVOCATION OR TERMINATION SHALL HAVE BEEN RECEIVED BY SUCH THIRD PARTY, AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S ASSIGNS, HEREBY AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS ANY SUCH THIRD PARTY FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS THAT MAY ARISE AGAINST SUCH THIRD PARTY BY REASON OF SUCH THIRD PARTY HAVING RELIED ON THE PROVISIONS OF THIS INSTRUMENT.

Re:                            Third Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of May 24, 2017 (as amended or restated from time to time, the “Repurchase Agreement”), by and among Quicken Loans Inc. (“Quicken Loans”), One Reverse Mortgage, LLC (“One Reverse” and together with Quicken Loans, the “Sellers”), Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital LLC (the “Administrative Agent”), Credit Suisse AG, a company incorporated in Switzerland, acting through its Cayman Islands Branch (“CS Cayman” and a “Buyer”) and Alpine Securitization LTD (“Alpine” and a “Buyer”).

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

[                   ] (the “Servicer”) is servicing certain mortgage loans for [Quicken Loans][One Reverse] pursuant to that certain [TITLE AND DATE OF SERVICING AGREEMENT] (the “Servicing Agreement”) between the Servicer and [Quicken Loans][One Reverse]. Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement among Administrative Agent, Buyers and Sellers, the Servicer is hereby notified that [Quicken Loans][One Reverse] has pledged to Administrative Agent certain mortgage loans which are serviced by Servicer which are subject to a security interest in favor of Administrative Agent.

 

Section 1.                                         Remittance to Account; Notice of Default.

 

Upon receipt of a notice of an event of default under the Repurchase Agreement from Administrative Agent (a “Notice of Event of Default”) in which Administrative Agent shall identify the mortgage loans which are then pledged to Administrative Agent under the Repurchase Agreement (the “Subject Assets”), the Servicer shall segregate all amounts (the “Servicing Income”) collected on account of such Subject Assets, hold them in trust for the sole and exclusive benefit of Administrative Agent, and remit such collections in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s written instructions. Following such Notice of Event of Default, Servicer shall (i) continue to service the Subject Assets in accordance with the Servicing Agreement; (ii) follow the instructions of Administrative Agent with respect to the Subject Assets in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, and (iii) deliver to Administrative Agent any information with respect to the Subject Assets reasonably requested by Administrative Agent.

 

Upon a Notice of Event of Default, Administrative Agent will have the right to immediately terminate Servicer’s right to service the Subject Assets without payment of any

 

M-1


 

penalty or termination fee under the Servicing Agreement. Upon receipt of such Notice of Event of Default, [Quicken Loans][One Reverse] and the Servicer shall cooperate in transferring the applicable servicing of the Subject Assets to a successor servicer appointed by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

 

Notwithstanding any contrary information which may be delivered to the Servicer by [Quicken Loans][One Reverse], the Servicer may conclusively rely on any information or Notice of Event of Default delivered by Administrative Agent, and [Quicken Loans][One Reverse] shall indemnify and hold the Servicer harmless for any and all claims asserted against it for any actions taken in good faith by the Servicer in connection with the delivery of such information or Notice of Event of Default.

 

Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself and each applicable Buyer is an intended third party beneficiary of the Servicing Agreement with full enforcement rights thereunder.

 

Notwithstanding any contrary information which may be delivered to the Servicer by [Quicken Loans][One Reverse], the Servicer may conclusively rely on any information or notice delivered by Administrative Agent.

 

Section 2.                                         Back-up Administrative Agent; Successor Administrative Agent.

 

In the event that the Administrative Agent gives the Servicer written notice that a back-up Administrative Agent (the “Back-up Administrative Agent”) has been appointed under the Repurchase Agreement, then to the extent that the Servicer subsequently receives written notice from the Back-up Administrative Agent that it has assumed the role of Administrative Agent thereunder (in such case, the “Successor Administrative Agent”), then the Successor Administrative Agent shall assume all rights and obligations of the Administrative Agent hereunder, with no further action required by the parties, and the Servicer shall follow the directions of the Successor Administrative Agent hereunder for all directions to be given by the Administrative Agent hereunder.

 

Section 3. Servicer as Bailee. Servicer hereby acknowledges and agrees that on receipt of any Mortgage Loan File with respect to the Subject Assets, it shall hold such Mortgage Loan File as bailee for Administrative Agent.

 

Section 4. Counterparts. This Servicer Notice may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together constitutes one and the same instrument, and each party hereto may execute this Servicer Notice by signing any such counterpart.

 

Section 5. Entire Agreement. This Servicer Notice, together with the Servicing Agreement, constitutes the entire understanding between [Quicken Loans][One Reverse] and Servicer with respect to the subject matter they cover and supersedes any existing agreements between the parties relating to the matters provided for herein and therein. No alteration, waiver, amendments, or change or supplement hereto will be binding or effective unless the same is set forth in writing by a duly authorized representative of each party hereto.
