LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

This LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of [_________ ___, 20___] by and between Groundfloor Finance Inc., a Georgia corporation (“Seller”), having an address of 75 5th St., Suite 2170, Atlanta, GA 30308, and HARVEST RESIDENTIAL LOAN ACQUISITION, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Purchaser”), having an office at 777 Third Avenue, Suite 19B, New York, NY 10017.

 

Seller desires to sell and Purchaser desires to purchase from Seller, on terms and conditions described herein, certain loans (each, a “Loan”; collectively, the “Loans”), each secured by a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt, security instrument, or any other security agreement and instrument from the borrower under the applicable Loan (“Borrower”) to, or for the benefit of, Seller, which constitutes a lien (each, a “Security Instrument”; collectively, the “Security Instruments”) on improved real property, which has been, or is being, renovated for resale (each, the “Property”), securing among other things payment by a Borrower of a promissory note from the applicable Borrower in favor of Seller (each, a “Note”; collectively, the “Notes”).

 

The Loans shall be sold to Purchaser as whole loans with no retained rights of Seller and shall be delivered to Purchaser on various dates as provided in the related Confirmation (each, a “Closing Date”). “Confirmation” means, with respect to each Loan, the trade confirmation between the Purchaser and the Seller (including any exhibits, schedules and attachments), setting forth the terms and conditions of such transaction and describing the Loan(s) to be purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit “A” attached hereto. If any conflict arises between the terms of this Agreement and of a related Confirmation, the terms of the related Confirmation shall prevail.

 

Seller and Purchaser, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, agree as follows:

 

SECTION 1.          Agreement to Purchase. On the related Closing Date, Seller agrees to sell, and Purchaser agrees to purchase, on the terms and conditions stated herein and in the related Confirmation, certain Loans (and the servicing rights thereto) having an aggregate principal balance as set forth in the related Confirmation (the “Closing Date Principal Balance”), or in such other amount as agreed by Purchaser and Seller in writing. This Agreement is not a commitment by Purchaser to enter into Confirmations with or to purchase Loans from Seller but rather sets forth the procedures to be used in connection with periodic requests for Purchaser to enter into Confirmations with and purchase Loans from Seller. Seller hereby acknowledges that Purchaser is under no obligation to agree to enter into any Confirmation or to agree to purchase any Loans pursuant to this Agreement.

 

SECTION 2.           Loan Schedule. Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that the Loans to be purchased under this Agreement on the related Closing Date shall be the Loans identified in the Loan Schedule (the “Loan Schedule”) contained in the related Confirmation.

3.1On the related Closing Date, unless otherwise set forth in the related Confirmation, the purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) shall be an amount equal to the sum of (a) the product of (i) the percentage set forth in the related Confirmation (the “Purchase Price Percentage”) and (ii) the Closing Date Principal Balance, (b) accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans from the last date through which interest has been paid by the obligor on the related Note (the “Borrower”) through the day prior to the Closing Date and (c) any additional fees agreed to by Purchaser and Seller as set forth in the related Confirmation.

 

3.2Purchaser shall be entitled to all payments of principal and interest and all other funds or recoveries on the Loans received or receivable by Seller and/or Purchaser on and after the related Closing Date (regardless of when due). Seller will hold all such amounts received by Seller in trust for Purchaser’s sole and exclusive benefit and will transfer all such amounts received by Seller to Purchaser within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof. For purposes hereof, “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday, or a day on which banking institutions in the State of Texas are authorized or obligated by law to remain closed. Principal prepayments received by the Seller on or before the Closing Date shall belong to Seller, only to the extent that such principal prepayment was not included in the amount set forth in the Loan Schedule as the Closing Date Principal Balance.

 

3.3Purchaser shall be under no obligation to review the contents of any Loan File (as defined in Exhibit “B”) or to verify the terms and conditions or any other matters with respect to any of the Loans which are the subject of this Agreement and may rely solely on the representations and warranties of Seller herein.

 

3.4On or before the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver the Loan File (as defined in Exhibit “B”) to Purchaser, and the ownership of each Loan, including the Note, the Security Instrument together with all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any and all other documents related to the Loan, whether or not listed on Exhibit “B” hereto, shall be vested in Purchaser, and the ownership of all other records and documents with respect to the Loan prepared by or which come into the possession of Seller shall immediately vest in Purchaser. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser any documents respecting the Loans that come into Seller’s possession with respect to the Loans following the sale of the Loans to Purchaser immediately and in any event within 5 Business Days after receipt, which documents shall be held in trust for Purchaser.

 

3.5Within 10 Business Days following the related Closing Date, the Seller shall register, or shall cause to be registered, with the loan and servicing registration system selected by Purchaser, an assignment to the Purchaser (or its designee) of each Loan registered on the system of electronically recorded transfers of loans maintained by such system and for which such system is listed as the recorded lender or beneficiary on the related Security Instrument or assignment thereof.

8.17No Condemnation. There is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the related Property;

 

8.18Insurance. The Property securing each Loan is insured, with Borrower as the insured and Seller and its successors and assigns as lender/mortgagee, loss payee and/or additional insured, by an insurer reasonably acceptable to Purchaser against loss by fire and such hazards as are covered under a standard “all risk” extended coverage endorsement or policy, in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (a) 100% of the insurable value, on a replacement cost basis, of the improvements on the related Property and (b) the unpaid principal balance of the Loan. If upon origination of the Loan, the improvements on the Property were in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (x) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, (y) the full insurable value and (z) the maximum amount of insurance which was available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act, as amended; and the Security Instrument obligates the Borrower thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Borrower’s cost and expense and the Seller has not acted or failed to act so as to impair the coverage of any such insurance policy or the validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof;

 

8.19No Violation of Environmental Laws. There is no pending action or proceeding directly involving any Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue; and to the best of the Seller’s knowledge 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;

 

8.20Advancement of Funds by Seller.

8.22Litigation. Such Loan is not subject to any outstanding litigation;

 

8.23No Defaults. There is no default in the payment obligations of Borrower under the Note and Security Instrument, and, to Seller’s knowledge, there is no other default by Borrower under the Note and the Security Instrument;

8.25No Residential Loan. No Loan is (i) a residential mortgage loan, (ii) for personal, household or family purposes, (iii) secured by property which is occupied by or used as a dwelling for the borrower (or guarantor, as applicable) thereunder or any affiliate or family member of the borrower (or the guarantor, as applicable), or (iv) to individuals or natural persons. Seller has provided Purchaser with copies of any Non-Owner Occupancy Certificates executed by Borrowers for the Loans and Seller has executed a Non-Owner Occupancy Certificate in favor of Purchaser regarding each Loan, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “E”.

 

 9 

 

 

8.26Underwriting and Origination. Seller has originated each Loan and underwritten each Property and Loan in accordance with the Underwriting and Origination Guidelines attached as Schedule 3 to the Confirmations for each Loan.

 

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 and Section 8 shall survive the sale and delivery of the Loans to Purchaser and shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Notes and notwithstanding subsequent termination of this Agreement.

 

SECTION 9.           Repurchase. If Purchaser discovers that a breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 5 or 8 has occurred (a Breach), Purchaser shall have the right, by providing written notice to Seller, to cause Seller to repurchase the affected Loans from Purchaser. Such notice from the Purchaser shall be accompanied by reasonable documentation, to the extent in the possession of Purchaser, to enable the Seller to determine the validity of Purchaser’s assertion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have 10 days to cure any Breach. This cure period will commence upon the date of Purchaser’s written notice to Seller of the related Breach. In the event a Breach is not cured within such 10 day period, at Purchaser’s option, the affected Loan shall be repurchased by the Seller within 10 days of the expiration of such 10 day period. Unless otherwise set forth in the related Confirmation, the repurchase price shall be equal to (a) 110% of the Purchase Price paid to Seller by Purchaser, less (b) any amounts received by the Purchaser which reduce the outstanding principal amount of the respective Loan.

 

Upon completion of such repurchase by Seller, Purchaser and Seller shall arrange for the reassignment of the repurchased Loan to the Seller and the delivery to Seller of any documents held by Purchaser or its custodian relating to the repurchased Loan. In the case of any lien for which an assignment from Seller to Purchaser has been recorded prior to repurchase, Purchaser shall within 10 calendar days of the repurchase provide an executed assignment from Purchaser to Seller. Seller shall pay any reasonable and necessary recording costs in connection with recording such reassignment.

 

SECTION 10.         Indemnification.

 

10.1In addition to any repurchase and cure obligations of Seller, and any and all other remedies available to the Purchaser under this Agreement, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and Purchaser’s successors, assigns or other designees, including, without limitation, any subsequent holder of any Note, against all losses, damages, penalties, fines, claims, forfeitures, lawsuits, court costs, reasonable attorney’s fees, judgments, and any other costs, fees, and expenses resulting from any act or failure to act or any breach of any warranty, obligation, representation, or covenant contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement by Seller or any agent, employee, representative or officer of the Seller.

The indemnification obligations of Purchaser hereunder shall (a) not extend to consequential damages and (b) survive the termination of this Agreement.
