II. Mortgage Application/Seller Representation and Warranty/Eligible Sources of Income

 

The Seller represents and warrants that the Borrower income amount and asset information was not disclosed, verified or documented at any time on the Mortgage application or on any other document in the Mortgage file. All sections of the application, other than the income amount and asset information, must be completed.

The Seller must verify a six-month history of receipt of the income (not the amount).


  (ii) Rental income

JUNIOR GUARANTOR PROGRAM ATTACHMENT

Special Negotiated Provisions Applicable to

Mortgages Delivered under the SS& TG Junior Guarantor Program

 

This Attachment, including the exhibits, if any, describes the terms under which Freddie Mac will purchase Mortgages under the special Guarantor delivery program developed by Freddie Mac’s Securities Sales & Trading Group (“SS&TG”). Mortgages delivered pursuant to this Attachment are subject to the provisions of the Guide, as amended by this Attachment.

 

1. Definitions. Terms used in this Attachment, including terms not capitalized, are defined or otherwise described in the Guide.

 

Junior Guarantor Mortgages are Mortgages permitted to be sold to Freddie Mac in exchange for Junior Guarantor PCs described in the Exhibit to this Attachment titled “ELIGIBLE JUNIOR GUARANTOR PRODUCTS”. Eligible Junior Guarantor Mortgages that are adjustable rate mortgages are referred to as “Junior Guarantor ARMs”.

 

Junior Guarantor PCs are Freddie Mac PCs backed by pools of Junior Guarantor Mortgages with the characteristics described in this Attachment. For Adjustable Rate Mortgages, Junior Guarantor PCs are Freddie Mac WAC ARM PCs.

 

2. Eligible Products and Pool Size. Seller may sell eligible Junior Guarantor Mortgages in exchange for Junior Guarantor PCs in accordance with the terms of this Attachment. The terms and conditions specified in the Guide governing the sale of Mortgages to Freddie Mac in exchange for PCs will apply to Junior Guarantor Mortgages, except as modified by this Agreement. For Adjustable Rate Mortgages, the terms and conditions specified in the Guide governing the sale of ARMs to Freddie Mac in exchange for WAC ARM PCs will apply to Junior Guarantor ARMs, except as modified by this Agreement.

 

Although the provisions of Sections 17.7(c) and 29.6(f) first bullet of the Guide provide otherwise, Junior Guarantor PCs shall have a minimum pool size of $50,000.

 

3. Guarantee Fee. Provided that Seller elects the Accelerated Remittance Cycle in connection with its sale of eligible Junior Guarantor Mortgages to Freddie Mac, the guarantee fee shall be 0.00 basis points for each Junior Guarantor Mortgage sold to Freddie Mac in exchange for a Junior Guarantor PC. The guarantee fee will be adjusted if Seller elects to use a different remittance cycle.

 

4. Sale of Junior Guarantor PCs to SS&TG. Seller agrees to sell each Junior Guarantor PC to SS&TG pursuant to a “forward sale” with SS&TG.

 

5. Product/Program Codes. Within the same trade month that Seller enters into a forward trade to sell a Junior Guarantor PC to SS&TG, Seller shall contact Freddie Mac’s

 


Commitment Services Department (703-761-7170) to enter into a binding commitment to sell eligible Junior Guarantor Mortgages to Freddie Mac in exchange for the Junior Guarantor PCs that will be sold to SS&TG.

 

When delivering Junior Guarantor Mortgages to Freddie Mac, Seller shall use the product/program codes specified in the Exhibit to this Attachment titled “OFFER PRODUCT/PROGRAM CODES EXHIBIT”.

 

6. Variable Servicing. In connection with the sale of each Junior Guarantor ARM to Freddie Mac, Seller shall specify a Servicing Spread (“Coupon Servicing Spread”), a Margin Servicing Spread, and a Life-of-Loan Cap Servicing Spread that meets the requirements of Section 30.2(h) of the Guide for l-year Treasury ARMs.

 

The Coupon Servicing Spread, the Margin Servicing Spread and the Life-of-Loan Cap Servicing Spread must not be less than 25.0 basis points (0.250 percent), provided however that Seller may specify servicing which varies at intervals in the life of the Mortgage (pool formation, adjustment at index plus margin, and adjustment limited by Life-of-Loan Cap) (“variable servicing’) provided that:

 

  (a) when calling the Freddie Mac Commitment Line to take down a conversion, Seller must speak to a Conversion Representative and specify the Coupon Servicing Spread, the Margin Servicing Spread, and the Life-of-Loan Cap Servicing Spread; the various servicing spreads will be applied to each Mortgage in each PC pool delivered pursuant to such conversion;

 

  (b) the PC Coupon at issuance of the PC for such Mortgages in which Seller has specified variable servicing is calculated by reducing the Mortgage Coupon of each such ARM in the related PC Pool by the related Coupon Servicing Spread retained by Seller to yield a net figure for each Mortgage, then computing the weighted average of the resulting net figures using the UPB of each Mortgage as a weight, and subtracting the Required Spread from the resulting weighted average;

 

  (c) the Required Net Yield of each Mortgage for which Seller has specified variable servicing equals the Gross Mortgage Coupon minus the Coupon Servicing Spread. Following an interest change date, the Required Net Yield for each such Mortgage equals the Gross Mortgage Margin plus the applicable index value, rounded to the nearest one-eight of one percent (0.125 percent), minus the appropriate Servicing Spread, subject to periodic rate caps, and required net Life-of-Loan Caps;

 

  (d) the Required Net Margin for each Mortgage for which Seller has specified variable servicing equals the Gross Mortgage Margin minus the Margin Servicing Spread; and

 

  (e) the required net Life-of-Loan Cap of each Mortgage for which Seller has specified variable servicing equals the gross Life-of-Loan Cap minus the Life-of- Loan Cap Servicing Spread.


7. Modification. Seller agrees that Freddie Mac may amend, supplement, revise or terminate any of the provisions of this Attachment, including any of the Exhibits to this Attachment or any of the other Attachments referenced in this Attachment or in the Exhibits to this Attachment, upon 90 days prior written notice to Seller during the term of this Master Agreement.

Convertible LIBOR ARMs are LIBOR ARMs with an option to convert to a fixed rate of interest within a specified time period.

 

The First Change Date Cap is the maximum interest rate increase or decrease on the first Interest Change Date, expressed as a percent; the maximum interest rate increase and the maximum interest rate decrease must be the same.

 

The Initial Period is the period from the Origination Date of the Mortgage until the first Interest Change Date, expressed in years.

SPECIAL UNDERWRITING PROVISIONS

 

1. Security Style Pair-off

 

With respect to the pair off of any Gold Cash Purchase Contract entered into by Seller pursuant to this Master, Freddie Mac shall calculate the pair-off fee in a manner that will result in either a pair-off due Freddie Mac from Seller, (as contemplated by Section 8.7 of the Guide), or an amount due Seller from Freddie Mac (“security-style pair-off procedures”). The security-style pair-off procedures for Gold Cash Purchase Contracts are in lieu of (rather than in addition to) the pair-off procedures set forth in Section 8.7 of the Guide and shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

  (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.7(1) of the Guide, at any time on or after the commitment date of any Gold Cash Purchase Contract and from time to time up to and including prior to the Delivery Due Date of such Gold Cash Purchase Contract, Seller may:

 

  (i) make a pair-off request by telephoning Freddie Mac’s Commitment Services Department at 703/761-7170. During such telephone conversation, Seller shall notify the commitment processing operator that the pair-off is subject to the security-style pair-off procedures for Gold Cash Purchase Contracts and shall provide the commitment processing operator with all the information he/she requests, including Seller’s name and Seller/Servicer number, the caller’s name, telephone number and fax number, and the contract/commitment number that Seller wishes to pair-off; or

 

  (ii) request to extend the Delivery Due Date. In such case, Seller will be subject to an extension fee as calculated by Freddie Mac;

 

  (b) If Seller requests a pair-off, Freddie Mac shall calculate and immediately quote to Seller the amount of the pair-off fee . The pair-off fee quoted by Freddie Mac is not negotiable. Seller shall immediately accept or reject the pair-off fee quoted;

 

  (c) If Seller accepts the pair-off fee quoted by Freddie Mac, such pair-off fee shall be included on Seller’s monthly invoice from Freddie Mac and shall be paid in the same manner as the payment of buyup proceeds and buydown fees as set forth in Section 11.11(e) of the Guide. The pair-off fee calculation shall be rounded up to the nearest dollar;


  (d) If Seller rejects the pair-off fee quoted by Freddie Mac, Seller may make subsequent pair-off requests at any time prior to the Delivery Date of the Gold Cash Purchase Contract. The amount of any pair-off fee quoted by Freddie Mac may differ from the amount(s) previously quoted by Freddie Mac with respect to the Gold Cash Purchase Contract. If, by the Delivery Due Date, Seller has failed to accept any pair-off fee quoted by Freddie Mac, Seller shall make delivery of the Mortgages pursuant to the Gold Cash Purchase Contract or Freddie Mac shall automatically execute the pairoff as of the contract expiration date and shall, at its sole discretion, exercise any other remedies for non-delivery as provided in the Guide; and

 

  (e) From time to time during the term of this Master, Freddie Mac may evaluate its pair-off procedures and may, at its option, modify or discontinue the security-style pair-off procedures. In that event, Freddie Mac shall provide Seller with written notice that the security-style pair-off procedures will be modified or discontinued. For all Gold Cash Purchase Contracts entered into after the date Seller receives such notice, the modified security-style pair-off procedures shall apply or, in the event of discontinuation of security-style pair-off procedures, the standard pair-off procedures applicable to Original Cash Purchase Contracts shall apply.

SMC MORTGAGES AND NON-SMC MORTGAGES

DELIVERED UNDER THE CASH AND GUARANTOR PROGRAM

 

The following provisions shall apply to Secondary Market Coverage Mortgages (“SMC Mortgages”), as defined below.

 

(a)     (i) SMC Mortgages are 30-year, Fixed-rate, whole mortgages that:

 

  (A)     (I) if mortgage insurance is provided by Republic Mortgage Insurance Company, have LTV ratios greater than 80 percent but not greater than 95 percent; and

 

            (II) if mortgage insurance is provided by General Electric Mortgage Insurance Company; and

 

  (1) sold under the Guarantor or MultiLender Swap Programs, have LTV ratios greater than 80 percent but not greater than 97 percent; and

 

  (2) sold under the Cash Program, have LTV ratios greater than 80 percent but not greater than 100 percent;

 

  (B) have mortgage insurance coverage meeting the requirements of Section 27.1(a) of the Guide;

 

  (C) are originated on Freddie Mac/Fannie Mae Uniform Instruments dated January 2001;

 

  (D) have an original term of not less than 241 months;

 

  (E) are Mortgages that are covered by mortgage insurance that is issued by a participating mortgage insurer with which Seller is an eligible lender, as listed on Exhibit A;

 

  (F) are Mortgages for which the mortgage insurance premiums are based on standard rate card filings and are not based on special rate plans;

 

  (G) are not Seasoned Mortgages;

 

  (H) are not subject to a captive reinsurance structure or other type of risk sharing structure on or after the Delivery Date, except as set forth in Exhibit A;

 

  (I) are not Mortgages for which the mortgage insurance premium is: included as part of the principal amount of the Mortgage; paid as a single premium; or is in the form of a standard annual premium structure;


  (J) are not any of the following: Mortgages sold subject to recourse or indemnification, Mortgages covered by a Pool Insurance Agreement or Mortgages that are federally insured or guaranteed; and

 

  (K) are not Mortgages sold to Freddie Mac through Gold Cash Xtra with servicing released.

 

  (ii) All 30-year Fixed-rate mortgages other than those that meet the requirements of paragraph (a)(i) are non-SMC Mortgages.

 

  (iii) Eligibility of a Mortgage as an SMC Mortgage will be based on:

 

  (A) Seller’s original transmission of data to Freddie Mac;

 

  (B) as of the Delivery Date, the mortgage insurance being in full force and effect as determined by the mortgage insurance company; and

 

  (C) Seller providing the Master Commitment number of this Master Commitment at the time Seller enters into a Conversion and at delivery.

 

Freddie Mac’s determination with respect to the eligibility of a Mortgage as an SMC Mortgage is final.

 

(b) Mortgages sold under the Cash Program, the Guarantor Program or the MultiLender Swap Program are eligible to be SMC Mortgages.

 

(c) The Required Spread stated in the Master Commitment as the “Contract Required Spread” is the weighted average of the Required Spreads stated in the Master Commitment for SMC Mortgages and non-SMC Mortgages (the “SMC Mortgage Required Spread” and the non-SMC Mortgage Required Spread”, respectively) and is based on Seller’s estimate of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all such Mortgages that will be delivered each month. For Mortgages sold under the Guarantor Program, Seller shall pay the Contract Required Spread as adjusted by the provisions stated below. The Required Spreads are stated in Exhibit B.


(d) During the third calendar month following the month in which the Funding Date occurs, Freddie Mac shall perform a reconciliation to determine if there is a difference between the Contract Required Spread for Guarantor Mortgages and the Actual Required Spreads based on the unpaid principal balance of all Mortgages purchased (the date of such reconciliation, the “Reconciliation Date”). For purposes of reconciliation under this paragraph, Mortgages delivered under the Cash Program will be deemed to have been delivered under the Guarantor Program. Freddie Mac shall:

 

  (i) determine, as of the Funding Date: the aggregate unpaid principal balance of (A) all SMC Mortgages and (B) all non-SMC Mortgages, and the percentage of the total aggregate unpaid principal balance each represents;

 

  (ii) determine the “Actual Required Spread” by adding (A) the percentage of SMC Mortgages multiplied by the SMC Mortgage Required Spread and (B) the percentage of non-SMC Mortgages multiplied by the non-SMC Mortgage Required Spread;

 

  (iii) compare the Actual Required Spread to the Contract Required Spread and determine the difference between the two (the “Required Spread Differential”);

 

  (iv) if the Actual Required Spread is higher than the Contract Required Spread, apply a buydown or if the Actual Required Spread is lower than the Contract Required Spread, apply a buyup, as follows: Freddie Mac shall:

 

  (A) group all Mortgages by note rate range according to the buyup and buydown matrices in effect for the applicable Master Commitment on the Funding Date of the Mortgages;

 

  (B) for each note rate range, multiply (I) the product of the Required Spread Differential multiplied by the buydown or buyup ratio, as applicable, by (II) the purchased aggregate unpaid principal balance of the note rate range;

 

  (C) determine the total amount of the buydown or buyup, as applicable, by adding the amounts determined under subparagraph (B) immediately above for each note rate range (such amount, the “Settle-up Amount”);

 

  (v) multiply the Settle-up Amount determined under paragraph (iv)(C) immediately above by a multiplier (such multiplier, the “Float Multiplier”) that accounts for the value of the Settle-up Amount from the Funding Date to the Reconciliation Date.

 

(e) The Settle-up Amount, as adjusted by the Float Multiplier stated in Exhibit B, will be added to or subtracted from, as applicable, amounts due under Section 11.11 of the Guide and will appear on the monthly billing statement Seller receives under Section 17.2 of the Guide during the fourth month after Funding Date.

 

(f) Seller shall not sell a disproportionately high share of SMC Mortgages relative to the mix of mortgages Seller sells into the secondary mortgage market.

 

(g)

Freddie Mac reserves the right, upon 60 days prior written notice, to amend, supplement, revise, terminate or suspend, in whole or in part, Seller’s ability to sell SMC Mortgages to Freddie Mac; provided, however, Freddie Mac may, immediately or upon less than


 

60 days notice, amend, supplement, revise, terminate or suspend, in whole or in part, upon the occurrence of any of the following:

 

  (i) with respect to a particular mortgage insurer, such mortgage insurer withdraws its participation in the SMC execution; or

 

  (ii) Freddie Mac is required, for any reason to terminate or suspend the SMC execution.

 

(h) For SMC Mortgages for which the mortgage insurance premium is a monthly-deferred premium, Freddie Mac reserves the right to charge a delivery fee of 25 basis points (0.25 percent) if Freddie Mac reverses its initial decision regarding the eligibility of the Mortgage as an SMC Mortgage.


Exhibit A

 

Part I. Mortgage Insurers

 

Seller is an eligible lender with the following participating mortgage insurance companies:

 

General Electric Mortgage Insurance Company (“GEMICO”)

Republic Mortgage Insurance Company (“RMIC”)

 

Part II. Risk Sharing Structure

 

1. For Mortgages that are covered by mortgage insurance issued by RMIC or GEMICO a Mortgage placed in or committed to a risk sharing structure of the particular mortgage insurance company, which by its terms does not exclude removal from the structure, shall be eligible as an SMC Mortgage when the mortgage insurer removes the Mortgage from the risk sharing structure of the mortgage insurance company.

Delivery Fee Matrix Exhibit

 

I. ELIGIBLE MORTGAGE PRODUCTS SUBJECT TO DELIVERY FEES

 

  1. Postsettlement Delivery Fees (“Delivery Fees”) for Mortgages with Special Attributes. This Delivery Fee Matrix sets forth the delivery fee rates applicable to certain Mortgages that, because of the type of mortgage product, loan purpose, Mortgaged Premises or other attributes (the “special attributes”), are subject to a delivery fee pursuant to the provisions of the Freddie Mac Single-Family Seller/Servicer Guide (the “Guide”) and/or the provisions of the Master Agreement or Master Commitment. Delivery fees referenced in this exhibit with a [GRAPHIC] symbol in front of the rate indicates standard Guide-level pricing, set forth in Exhibit 19 of the Guide.

 

  2. Master Agreement/Master Commitment Governing Special Attributes. The provisions of the Guide and/or the provisions of the Master Agreement/Master Commitment that authorize the sale of Mortgages with special attributes set forth all the eligibility and delivery requirements and other terms and conditions of sale of such Mortgages, as well as any exemptions from payment of a delivery fee. Nothing in this Matrix shall be deemed to authorize the sale of Mortgages with special attributes that are not specifically authorized by the Guide and/or the Master Agreement/Master Commitment, nor to require the payment of delivery fees for Mortgages with special attributes if such delivery fee is not specifically required by the Guide and/or the Master Agreement/Master Commitment.

 

  3. Delivery Fee Rates May be Cumulative. A particular Mortgage that has various special attributes may be subject to more than one delivery fee rate; for example, an ARM secured by a 2-unit property may be subject to a delivery fee pursuant to the provisions in the Guide and/or the Master Agreement/Master Commitment that relate to ARMs with high loan-to-value ratios and the provisions relating to mortgages secured by 2-unit properties. The delivery fee applicable to such Mortgage will be the sum of the delivery fees required with respect to each of the special attributes of the Mortgage; for example, an ARM with a high loan-to-value ratio, that is secured by a 2-unit property would be subject to a delivery fee equal to the delivery fee rate specified in the ARM grid below plus the delivery fee rate specified in the number of units grid below.

(5) For LP Mortgages, the delivery fee rate is based on the Credit Score as determined using the Selected Score Information section of the LP Feedback Certificate. The Key Number must be delivered for each Mortgage evaluated by LP. If the Key Number is not delivered, the Mortgage will be priced as a Non-LP Mortgage. If the LP transaction is not complete, the Mortgage will be treated as a Non-LP Mortgage. A-Minus fees apply to both purchase and refinance transactions.

 

Note: For Mortgages sold under GCX, this delivery fee is included in the price obtained through GCX.

 

Freddie Mac reserves the right to assess in the future an A-minus Pool Insurance Exclusion Add-on Fee for A-minus Mortgages that are delivered under this Master Commitment. At such time, Seller agrees to pay such fees to Freddie Mac.

Non-LP = Non-Loan Prospector

    

 

(6) For Non-LP Mortgages, the delivery fee rate is based on the Credit Score delivered by the Seller. A-Minus fees apply to both purchase and refinance transactions.

 

(7) A-Minus fee rates assume the use of the middle/lower then lowest method outlined in Section 37.5 of the Guide for identifying the Mortgage Indicator Score. An additional 0.25% delivery fee will be added to the A-Minus fee rate if a method other than the middle/lower then lowest method is used for identifying the Mortgage Indicator Score. Freddie Mac reserves the right to adjust A-Minus fee rates if Freddie Mac determines that Sellers inconsistently use the recommended method and the permitted methods to identify Indicator Scores for Mortgages delivered to Freddie Mac. See Section 37.5(e) for details.

 

Note: For Mortgages sold under GCX, this delivery fee is included in the price obtained through GCX.

 

Freddie Mac reserves the right to assess in the future an A-minus Pool Insurance Exclusion Add-on Fee for A-minus Mortgages that are delivered under this Master Commitment. At such time, Seller agrees to pay such fees to Freddie Mac.
