Section 3.Takeout Commitments. Section 3 of the Existing Purchase and Sale Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such section in its entirety and replacing it with the following (modified text underlined for review purposes):

Seller understands that, as a result of this Section 3 and each Trade Assignment, Purchaser will succeed to the rights and obligations of Seller with respect to each Takeout Commitment subject to a Trade Assignment, and that in satisfying each such Takeout Commitment, Purchaser, will stand in the shoes of Seller and, consequently, will be acting as a non-dealer in exercising its rights and fulfilling its obligations assigned pursuant to this Section 3 and each Trade Assignment.
Seller hereby acknowledges that, in order for Purchaser to satisfy the “good delivery standards” of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (“SIFMA”) as set forth in the SIFMA Uniform Practices Manual and SIFMA’s Uniform Practices for the Clearance and Settlement of Mortgage Backed Securities and other Related Securities, in each case, as amended from time to time, Purchaser must deliver each Trade Assignment to the related Takeout Investor no later than seventy-two (72) hours prior to settlement of the related Security.

(e) Purchaser (or any other registered holder of the Related Participation Certificate) shall be entitled to (i) retain all Holdback Amounts in accordance with Section 4, and all amounts on deposit in the Over/Under Account in accordance with Section 11, (ii) declare all amounts payable by Seller to Purchaser hereunder to be immediately due and payable, (iii) effect termination of Seller’s subservicing rights and obligations respecting the affected Related Mortgage Loans as provided in Section 6(f), (iv) take possession of the Related Mortgage Loans, including any records that pertain thereto, (v) proceed against Seller for any deficiencies, (vi) liquidate, terminate and accelerate this Agreement and all transactions hereunder, and (vii) pursue any other rights and/or remedies available at law or in equity

(f) Purchaser, in its sole discretion, may terminate Seller’s rights and obligations as subservicer of the affected Related Mortgage Loans and require Seller to deliver the related Servicing Records to Purchaser or its designee upon the occurrence of (i) an Event of Default, (ii) Seller’s failure to comply with any of its obligations set forth in Section 5(c), or (iii) Seller’s breach of Sections 9(a)(viii) or 9(b)(ix), by delivering written notice to Seller requiring such termination. For the avoidance of doubt, any termination of the Seller’s rights as subservicer of the affected Related Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser as a result of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the foregoing sentence shall be deemed part of an exercise of the Purchaser’s rights to cause the liquidation, termination or acceleration of this Agreement. Such termination shall be effective upon Seller’s receipt of such written notice; provided, that Seller’s subservicing rights shall be terminated immediately upon the occurrence of any event described in Section 6(e)(iv), regardless of whether notice of such event shall have been given to or by Purchaser or Seller. Upon any such termination, all authority and power of Seller respecting its rights to subservice and duties under this Agreement relating thereto, shall pass to and be vested in the Successor Servicer appointed by Purchaser and Purchaser is hereby authorized and empowered to transfer such rights to subservice the Related Mortgage Loans for such price and on such terms and conditions as Purchaser shall reasonably determine; provided, that to the extent the Applicable Agency proceeds to issue a Security with respect to the Related Mortgage Loans, Purchaser shall convey the servicing rights and the rights to subservice such Mortgage Loans in accordance with such Applicable Agency’s instructions. Seller shall promptly take such actions and furnish to Purchaser such documents that Purchaser deems necessary or appropriate to enable Purchaser to obtain a Security backed by such Mortgage Loans or to enforce such Mortgage Loans, as appropriate, and shall perform all acts and take all actions so that the Related Mortgage Loans and all files and documents relating to such Mortgage Loans held by Seller, together with all escrow amounts relating to such Mortgage Loans, are delivered to Successor Servicer, including but not limited to preparing, executing and delivering to the Successor Servicer any and all documents and other instruments, placing in the Successor Servicer’s possession all Servicing Records pertaining to such Mortgage Loans and doing or causing to be done, all at Seller’s sole expense. To the extent that the approval of the Applicable Agency is required for any such sale or transfer, Seller shall fully cooperate with Purchaser to obtain such approval. All amounts paid by any purchaser of such rights to service or subservice the Related Mortgage Loans shall be the property of Purchaser. The subservicing rights required to be delivered to Successor Servicer in accordance with this Section 6(f) shall be delivered free of any servicing rights in favor of Seller or any third party (other than Purchaser) and free of any title, interest, lien, encumbrance or claim of any kind of Seller other than bare legal title to the Mortgage Loans. No exercise by Purchaser of its rights under this Section 6(f) shall relieve Seller of responsibility or liability for any breach of this Agreement.
Section 5.Record Title to Mortgage Loans; Intent of Parties; Security Interest. Section 8 of the Existing Purchase and Sale Agreement is hereby amended by deleting clause (c) in its entirety and replacing it with the following (modified text underlined for review purposes):
(c) Purchaser and Seller confirm that the transactions contemplated herein are intended to be sales of the Participation Certificates by Seller to Purchaser rather than borrowings secured by the Participation Certificates. In the event, for any reason, any transaction is construed by any court or regulatory authority as a borrowing rather than as a sale, Seller and
Purchaser intend that Purchaser or its Assignee, as the case may be, shall have a perfected first priority security interest in Seller’s interest in the Participation Certificates, all of the servicing rights with respect to the Related Mortgage Loans, the Custodial Account and all amounts on deposit therein, the Related Mortgage Loans subject to each Participation Certificate, all documents, records (including, without limitation, Servicing Records and copies of all documentation in connection with the underwriting and origination of any Related Mortgage Loan that evidences compliance with the Ability to Repay Rule and the QM Rule), instruments and data evidencing the Related Mortgage Loans and the servicing thereof, the Securities to be issued as contemplated hereunder and all proceeds thereof, the Takeout Commitments, any funds of the Seller at any time deposited or held in the Over/Under Account and the proceeds of any and all of the foregoing (collectively, the “Collateral”), free and clear of adverse claims. In any case, Seller hereby grants to Purchaser or its Assignee, as the case may be, a first priority security interest in and lien upon the Collateral, free and clear of adverse claims. This Agreement shall constitute a security agreement, the Custodian shall be deemed to be an independent custodian for purposes of perfection of the security interest herein granted to Purchaser, and Purchaser or each such Assignee shall have all of the rights of a secured party under applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, if any determination is made that the servicing rights with respect to the Related Mortgage Loans were not sold by Seller to Purchaser or that that such servicing rights are not an interest in the Related Mortgage Loans and are severable from the Related Mortgage Loans despite Purchaser’s and Seller’s express intent herein to treat them as included in the purchase and sale transaction, Seller hereby expressly pledges, assigns and grants to Purchaser a continuing first priority security interest in and lien upon the servicing rights and all documentation and rights to receive documentation related to such servicing rights and the servicing of each of the Related Mortgage Loans (the “Related Credit Enhancement”). The Collateral and Related Credit Enhancement is hereby pledged as further security for Seller’s obligations to Purchaser hereunder.
