RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, the Servicer and the Servicing Rights Owner desire to amend the Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

SECTION 1.                            Amendments.  Effective as of the date hereof, the Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

 

(a)                                 Section 6.03(d) of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

“(d)                           (i)                                     The Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for all Servicing Advances made by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement as further described in this Section 6.03.

 

(ii)                                  On a weekly basis, the Servicer shall provide the Servicing Rights Owner with written notice, including, reasonable and customary documentation in accordance with Applicable Requirements (and any other information reasonably requested by the Servicing Rights Owner) evidencing Servicing Advances made by the Servicer during the seven (7) days ending on the Business Day prior to the date of delivery of such notice.  Within two (2) Business Days of Servicing Rights Owner’s receipt of such notice, the Servicing Rights Owner shall remit (or cause to be remitted) the amount set forth in the written notice provided by the Servicer via wire transfer to the Servicer.

 

(iv)                              In the event that Servicing Rights Owner fails to make payment to the Servicer, when due, of amounts set forth in this Section 6.03(d), in addition to such other rights as the Servicer has, until such amounts are paid in full, (x) Servicer shall own the receivables related to the Servicing Advances as to which the Servicing Rights Owner failed to make such payment, (y) Servicer shall have no obligation to remit future Servicing Advances from its owns funds and (z) to the extent that Servicer remits future Servicing Advances from its owns funds, Servicer shall own the receivables related to such Servicing Advances until all

 



 

amounts due and owing to the Servicer have been paid in full by the Servicing Rights Owner and the Servicer Rights Owner has reimbursed the Servicer for such additionally-remitted Servicing Advances.”

 

(b)                                 Section 6.04(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following sentences to the end of such section:

 

“Servicer shall not set-off as against any P&I Advances, Servicing Advances or deferred servicing fees that are included in any non-Agency servicer advance financing facilities and shall remit the collections on such any P&I Advances, Servicing Advances and deferred servicing fees to the accounts designated therefor by the Servicing Rights Owner no later than two (2) Business Days after the Servicer’s receipt and identification thereof.  Servicer agrees to enter into a letter agreement in connection with any such non-agency servicer advance financing facility substantially similar (but in no event more detrimental to the Servicer) to the letter agreement executed on or about June 16, 2017 in connection with the Agency servicer advance financing facility provided by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.”

 

(c)                                  Section 6.04(b)(iii) of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

“(iii)                         To the extent the amounts the Servicing Rights Owner funded exceeded the amounts required to be paid to the applicable Mortgage Loan Investor on the related Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit such excess funds to the Servicing Rights Owner on the same Remittance Date that such amounts were deposited in the applicable Collection Account.  In the event that Servicing Rights Owner fails to deposit amounts on account of P&I Advances, guaranty (or other similar) fees, lender paid mortgage insurance or Compensating Interest in the applicable Collection Account, in addition to such other rights as the Servicer has, until such amounts are paid in full, (x) Servicer shall own the receivables, if any, related to such amounts as to which the Servicing Rights Owner failed to make such payment, (y) Servicer shall have no obligation to remit future amounts on account of P&I Advances, guaranty (or other similar) fees, lender paid mortgage insurance or Compensating Interest from its owns funds and (z) to the extent that Servicer remits any such future amounts from its owns funds, Servicer shall own the receivables related thereto until all amounts due and owing to the Servicer in respect of P&I Advances, guaranty (or other similar) fees, lender paid mortgage insurance and Compensating Interest have been paid in full by the Servicing Rights Owner and the Servicer Rights Owner has reimbursed the Servicer for such additionally-remitted P&I Advances, guaranty (or other similar) fees, lender paid mortgage insurance or Compensating Interest.”
