ARTICLE III

CLOSING


3.1 Seller’s Closing Items. At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall have executed, delivered and released to Purchaser or its designee the Subject Asset Files for each Loan to be sold to Purchaser on such Closing Date.

3.2 Missing Documents. Attached hereto as Schedule 2 is an exception report identifying any missing or deficient Loan Documents (the “Collateral Exception Report”). Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide any such missing document or cure such deficiency with respect to those set forth on the Collateral Exception Report within one hundred and twenty (120) days following the Closing Date. If the Seller is unable to provide such missing document or cure such deficiency in the timeframe set forth above with respect to any Loan identified on the Collateral Exception Report (each a “Collateral Deficient Loan”), Seller shall, at Purchaser’s option, either (a) promptly pay Purchaser a purchase price adjustment payment for each Collateral Deficient Loan if the parties are able to mutually agree on such amount (each such payment a “Collateral Deficient Loan Price Adjustment Payment”) in accordance with the terms of the Facilitator Letter, or (b) within ten (10) Business Days following its receipt of notice from Purchaser, repurchase the related Collateral Deficient Loan at the Seller Repurchase Price in the manner set forth in Article 7 herein (it being understood, however, that the cure period set forth in such Article 7 shall be deemed to be inapplicable). In the event Purchaser opts for Collateral Deficient Loan Price Adjustment Payment as set forth in subsection (a) above, but the parties are unable to reach a mutually agreeable amount, the affected Loan(s) shall be promptly repurchased. Any qualifying language on the endorsements and assignments shall not affect, limit, or enlarge the rights, remedies, and recourse of the Purchaser under this Agreement. The above-referenced one hundred and twenty (120) day period may be extended up to an additional forty-five (45) days upon the written request of Seller with the consent of Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) so long as Seller is diligently seeking to cure such missing or deficient Loan Documents and the parties reasonably believe the collateral issue can be resolved within the additional time frame. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that any Collateral Deficient Loan Price Adjustment Payment or repurchase pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.2 shall be effected through the Facilitator in accordance with the terms of the Facilitator Letter.

3.3 Notation of Ownership; Post-Closing Possession. In the event Purchaser agrees that an item otherwise required to be delivered to it pursuant to Section 3.1 above need not be delivered to it on the Closing Date, such item shall be appropriately marked in a file that clearly reflects the sale of the related Loans to Purchaser and shall be held in trust by Seller for the benefit of Purchaser as the owner thereof and delivered to Purchaser upon demand. The continued possession of the contents of each of the Subject Asset Files by Seller is for the benefit of Purchaser, for the sole purpose of servicing the related Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and such retention and possession by Seller is in a custodial capacity only; provided, however, the Seller may retain a copy of the Subject Asset Files as is necessary to comply with its duties as Interim Servicer hereunder, its internal retention policies and applicable law.


3.4 Transaction Expenses; Assignments of Mortgage. Each party to this Agreement shall be responsible to pay its own legal fees, due diligence fees and expenses and all other costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with this Agreement and the transfer and delivery of the Loans. Notwithstanding the preceding, within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date, Seller shall be responsible for preparing and delivering to Purchaser or its designee an original, unrecorded Assignment of Mortgage from Seller to [blank] and an allonge for each Loan. Purchaser shall be responsible for recording such Assignments of Mortgage and the associated recording fees. The parties understand and agree that with respect to certain Loans, Purchaser may decide not to record such an Assignment of Mortgage where an assignment of judgment, assignment of bid, or other documentation used in connection with a foreclosure or similar proceeding may be utilized to transfer Seller’s interest instead of an Assignment of Mortgage.

8

3.5 Reimbursement Obligations. Purchaser shall have no obligation to reimburse Seller for negative escrow balances or negative suspense balances and shall be entitled to hold and maintain on behalf of the related Mortgagors all positive escrow balances and positive suspense balances as of the applicable Cut-Off Date. Seller shall not offset the negative escrow balances against the positive escrow balances. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in the Purchaser Purchase Price definition, Purchaser shall have no obligations to reimburse Seller for any expense, paid or unpaid, billed or not billed, incurred by Seller on or prior to the Cut-Off Date. Purchaser shall reimburse Seller only for reasonable and customary servicing related expenses regarding the Loans incurred by Seller after the Cut-Off Date and through the Closing Date.

3.6 Adjustments. Errors or omissions in computing apportionments or other adjustments at the Closing Date shall be corrected within a reasonable time following such date. The party identifying the error or omission shall promptly notify the other, and the party benefiting from the error or omission shall, within 30 days after such error or omission is discovered or is brought to its attention, pay to the other party an amount sufficient to correct the error.

3.7  Limited Power of Attorney. In connection with the sale, following the execution of this Agreement, Seller shall promptly, but no later than thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, execute and deliver to Purchaser ten (10) or such other number of Limited Powers of Attorney as the parties shall agree in the form of Exhibit B.

With respect to each Loan and Mortgaged Property, Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that as of the date hereof and at and as of the Closing Date and solely with respect to representations (e), (f), the last sentence of (g), (h), (k) the related Servicing Transfer Date:

12

(a)    Information Correct. The information set forth on the Loan Schedule is true and correct.

(b)    Ownership; No Pledge. The Mortgage and the Note are not assigned or pledged to any Person and, immediately prior to the transfer thereof to the Purchaser, the Seller was the owner thereof. The Seller has full right and authority to sell and assign such Loan pursuant to this Agreement.

(c)    First Priority Lien. With respect to each Loan, the Mortgage creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first priority lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings, fixtures, installations, and improvements to the Mortgaged Property. Such lien is subject only to Permitted Encumbrances. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, 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 affect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission.

(d)    Title Insurance. Each Loan is covered by (a) a title insurance policy issued at the time such Loan was made by a title insurer qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring, subject only to exceptions acceptable to prudent lending institutions in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located, the Seller, its successors and assigns in the original principal amount of the Loan, (b) a title opinion from an attorney licensed to practice in such jurisdiction in such form and substance as was acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, or (c) a title report or such other form of title assurance as was acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions in the relevant jurisdiction (including blanket insurance coverage).

(e)    Origination and Servicing.

(f)     No Modification. Except as disclosed to Purchaser and Facilitator prior to closing and reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the terms of the Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments, the substance of which waiver, alteration or modification has been approved where required by the applicable primary mortgage guaranty insurer in writing (and such terms are reflected on the Loan Schedule). All such written approvals and written instruments were included in the Mortgage File delivered to Purchaser prior to the Closing Date. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in material part, in connection with an assumption agreement except as approved by the applicable primary mortgage guaranty insurer, if any, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File delivered to Purchaser prior to the Closing Date (and reflected on the Loan Schedule).

(g)    Genuine Obligations; No Defenses. The Note and the Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership, or other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and the application of general principles of equity. The Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim, or defense (including the defense of deceptive trade practice or usury), based on the invalidity or unenforceability of the Note and/or Mortgage or on any conduct of Seller or any of its officers, employees, representatives, or Affiliates in originating or servicing the Loan prior to the Closing Date.

13

(h)    No Fraud. No fraud or misrepresentation by Seller, or, to the best of Seller’s knowledge by any other Person, has taken place in connection with the origination or servicing of the Loan.

(i)     No Defaults. Except for payment defaults reflected in the “Next Due Date” field on the Loan Schedule, there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Note or related documents and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and neither Seller nor its predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration.

(j)     Environmental. To the best of Seller’s knowledge: (i)No Hazardous Substance has been installed, placed, disposed of, released, identified or dealt with in any manner in, on, under, around or at any Subject Asset Property; (ii) No Subject Asset Property has been used for the release, storage, treatment, generation or disposal of Hazardous Substances; (iii) No Hazardous Substances are present in, on, under, around, at or below any Subject Asset Property in such a manner or concentration as to violate any law, regulation or guideline; and (iv) No Subject Asset Property, by itself or as part of any other property, has been identified by any government agency as the site of a “release,” within the meaning of CERCLA or RCRA, of a Hazardous Substance.

(k)    FHA Loans. With respect to each FHA Loan (if any), the FHA Loan (i) was originated and serviced in full compliance with all rules, regulations and applicable requirements of FHA, (ii) is fully insurable by FHA, and a mortgage insurance certificate has been or within ninety (90) days from delivery of the FHA Loan to Purchaser will be issued by FHA and (c) is not subject to any defenses, counterclaims or rights of set-off affecting the validity or enforceability of the FHA insurance.

(l)     No Litigation. Other than standard, uncontested foreclosure and/or bankruptcy actions (as reflected on the Loan Schedule), there is no pending or, to Seller’s knowledge, threatened litigation relating or otherwise pertaining to any Loan or Mortgaged Property.

(m)  Amounts Paid. Except as set forth on Schedule 3 attached hereto, as of the Cut-Off Date, all properly assessed property taxes and insurance premiums and governmental assessments and water, sewer, municipal charges, and homeowner’s association dues and liens that became due prior to the Cut-Off Date which have priority over the Mortgage have been paid or an escrow of funds has been established, to the extent permitted by law, in an amount sufficient to pay for any such item that remains unpaid and that has been assessed but is not yet due and payable.

6.4 Representations and Warranties Relating to MERS Designated Mortgage Loans. With respect to each MERS Designated Mortgage Loan, Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that Seller shall promptly deactivate each such MERS Designated Mortgage Loan from the MERS system and shall provide Purchaser with the appropriate allonges and Assignments of Mortgage, including, if necessary, an intervening assignment of mortgage from MERS to Seller and another Assignment of Mortgage from Seller to [blank], all within the time frame set forth in Section 3.4 above.

6.5 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties set forth in this Article VI shall survive the delivery of each Loan to Purchaser and the consummation of this Agreement for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing Date (the “Survival Period”), notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Note, Assignment of Mortgage, or the examination of any Mortgage File, and shall inure to the benefit of Purchaser and its successors and assigns.

14

ARTICLE VII

POST-CLOSING REMEDIES

7.1 Repurchase Remedy. Upon discovery by Seller or Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to Facilitator specifying the nature thereof. The Facilitator shall have two (2) Business Days to provide such written notice to Seller, which shall include the remedy being sought by Purchaser and the Seller Repurchase Price, if applicable. Within 30 days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such breach of representation or warranty from the Facilitator, provided that Purchaser delivers such notice to Facilitator prior to the expiration of the Survival Period, Seller shall cure such breach in all material respects or, at Purchaser’s option (exercised in its sole discretion), Seller shall repurchase the affected Loan at a price equal to the Seller Repurchase Price. The Seller Repurchase Price shall be paid on the repurchase date by Seller to Facilitator, for the benefit of Purchaser, and Facilitator shall pay the Purchaser Repurchase Price to Purchaser, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Facilitator Letter. Upon receipt of the full amount of the Purchaser Repurchase Price, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller the applicable Subject Asset Files, and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer as shall be reasonably requested by Seller to transfer the affected Loan to Seller or its designee, in each case without recourse to, or representation or warranty, express or implied, by Purchaser; provided, however, (i) neither Purchaser nor its servicer has released or impaired the enforceability of the Loan or the lien of the related Mortgage on the related Mortgaged Property; and (ii) at the time of repurchase the Purchaser is the sole owner of the Mortgage Loan, free and clear of any and all liens, claims, encumbrances, participation interest, equities, pledged, charges or security interest of any nature arising by or through any action of the Purchaser or ifs designee, other than any liens, claims, encumbrances, participation interest, equities, pledges, charges or security interests in existence as of the Closing Date. All such instruments shall be prepared by Seller at its expense (or prepared by Purchaser or its designee and reimbursed by Seller). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Purchaser timely submits a claim to Facilitator prior to the expiration of the Survival Period, and Facilitator, in turn, fails to submit the same to Seller within two (2) Business Days of Facilitator’s receipt of Purchaser’s claim, Seller, Purchaser and Facilitator acknowledge and agree that such claim shall be considered timely and Purchaser may proceed with a Seller Direct Request with respect to such claim.

7.2 The parties acknowledge that as of the Closing Date, Loss Mitigation solutions may have been offered by Seller or Seller’s servicer to certain Mortgagors, but not yet closed, with respect to certain Loans and such terms may not have been expressly reflected on the Loan Schedule. Not later than the date that is one hundred fifty (150) days after the Closing Date (the “Loss Mitigation Notice Date”), the Purchaser shall provide to the Facilitator a report of the Loans for which such Seller-offered Loss Mitigation solutions were completed within one hundred twenty (120) days of the Closing Date and such terms were not expressly reflected on the Loan Schedule (the “Modified Mortgage Loans”) accompanied by a request for a purchase price adjustment payment for each such Modified Mortgage Loan (each such payment a “Modified Mortgage Loan Price Adjustment Payment”), together with supporting information and documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Seller. The Facilitator shall have two (2) Business Days to provide such written notice to Seller, which shall include the amount of the Modified Mortgage Loan Price Adjustment Payment being sought. The Seller shall (a) to the extent that such Seller and the Purchaser can mutually agree, in good faith, upon a Modified Mortgage Loan Price Adjustment Payment for the applicable Modified Mortgage Loan(s), promptly pay the Facilitator the Modified Mortgage Loan Price Adjustment Payment for such Modified Mortgage Loan(s) in accordance with the terms of the Facilitator Letter, or (b) if the parties are unable to mutually agree, in good faith, upon a Modified Mortgage Loan Price Adjustment Payment for such Modified Mortgage Loan, repurchase such Modified Mortgage Loan at the Seller Repurchase Price within thirty (30) days, or within such other mutually agreed upon time period, of the Sellers’ receipt of notice from the Facilitator requesting a Modified Mortgage Loan Price Adjustment Payment for such Modified Mortgage Loan. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that any Modified Mortgage Loan Price Adjustment Payment or repurchase pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.2 shall be effected through the Facilitator in accordance with the terms of the Facilitator Letter. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Purchaser timely submits a claim to Facilitator prior to the expiration of the Loss Mitigation Notice Date, and Facilitator, in turn, fails to submit the same to Seller within two (2) Business Days of Facilitator’s receipt of Purchaser’s claim, Seller, Purchaser and Facilitator acknowledge and agree that such claim shall be considered timely and Purchaser may proceed with a Seller Direct Request with respect to such claim.

In addition, Seller agrees to promptly execute such additional Limited Powers of Attorney in the form of Exhibit B as may from time-to-time be necessary and requested by Purchaser.

10.11 No Agency, Partnership or Joint Venture. Under no circumstances shall Purchaser, Facilitator and Seller be considered agents or employees of each other, nor shall this Agreement be construed as creating a partnership or joint venture between any such parties.

10.12 No Waiver of Rights; No Remedy Exclusive. The fact that Purchaser may have made an independent evaluation of a Loan and Purchaser or its agents have conducted or have failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the related Subject Asset Files, whether prior to or following the consummation of any of the purchase and sale transactions contemplated hereby, shall not affect Purchaser’s rights, powers and remedies as provided in this Agreement and the Facilitator Letter, including, without limitation, notwithstanding that Purchaser or its agents knew or should have known of the existence of facts giving rise to a breach of representation or warranty or failure of compliance by Seller or Facilitator with any covenant hereunder. No remedy under this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy, but each remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to other remedies under this Agreement, the Facilitator Letter or existing at law or in equity.
