9


 

when and how to send such Asset File or Loan File, as applicable, to such Approved Takeout Investor or its designee. Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to send the Loan File on or before the date specified for shipment in such shipping instructions in accordance with the cutoff times specified in the “Chase Mortgage Warehouse Finance Customer Reference Guide” provided by Administrative Agent to Seller, or otherwise specified by Administrative Agent to Seller in writing from time to time. If Seller instructs Custodian to send an Asset File before the Repurchase Date, Custodian will send the Mortgage Note and related Mortgage under a Bailee Letter as provided in the Custodial Agreement. If Seller does not provide Custodian with shipping instructions with respect to a Mortgage Loan before its Repurchase Price is paid to Administrative Agent, Custodian shall send the Asset File to Seller or its designee after Administrative Agent receives the Repurchase Price therefor.

 

(b)                                 Delivery Versus Payment or Delivery Versus MBS. Upon Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Repurchase Price for a Pool of Purchased Mortgage Loans from an Approved Takeout Investor to whom Custodian has shipped the related Asset File or Administrative Agent has shipped the related Loan File in a delivery versus payment or “swap for payment” transaction, all of Administrative Agent’s interests in the Purchased Mortgage Loans that are part of such Pool (but no others) shall automatically be released and Seller’s repurchase thereof shall be completed. Upon delivery into the Joint Securities Account of an MBS in exchange for a Pool that includes Purchased Mortgage Loans shipped to an Agency Custodian in a delivery versus MBS or “swap for MBS” transaction, all of Administrative Agent’s interests in the Purchased Mortgage Loans included in such Pool (but no others) shall automatically be released and a securities entitlement in the Joint Securities Account and such MBS held therein proportionate to the aggregate value of the Purchased Mortgage Loans contained in the Pool from which such MBS was created shall be conclusively deemed to be a Mortgage Asset subject to a new Transaction effective as of the date of delivery of such MBS into the Joint Securities Account and accepted by Administrative Agent as a Mortgage Asset in substitution for the Purchased Mortgage Loans included in the Pool from which such MBS was created, with each such securities entitlement having a Repurchase Price equal to (x) the sum of the Purchase Prices of the Purchased Mortgage Loans included in such Pool plus (y) accrued and unpaid Price Differential on such Purchased Mortgage Loans, calculated as if they were still subject to Transactions, such Price Differential to be calculated at the Pricing Rate for Pooled Loans from their Pooling Date, until Administrative Agent’s receipt of Administrative Agent’s share of the cash Repurchase Price for such MBS (determined in accordance with the provisions of the Joint Securities Account Control Agreement) either from sale of the MBS to an Approved Takeout Investor or by direct payment by Seller. Seller may cause such securities entitlement in such MBS to be delivered to an Approved Takeout Investor pursuant to any related Takeout Commitment against payment of a cash amount at least equal to the Repurchase Price therefor. If Administrative Agent’s release of any Purchase Mortgage Loans shipped for securitization shall become effective and the MBS to be based on and backed by them (or any of them) shall not be delivered into the Joint Securities Account within two (2) Business Days after the Settlement Date of such MBS), Seller shall pay Administrative Agent the Repurchase Price therefor upon written demand made by Administrative Agent then or at any time thereafter before Administrative Agent has received the Repurchase

 

10


 

Price from the securities intermediary under and pursuant to the Joint Securities Account Control Agreement. On the same Business Day that Seller receives any such written demand if given at or before 10:00 a.m., Houston, Texas time, or on the next Business Day if such notice is given after 10:00 a.m., Seller shall pay such Repurchase Price to Administrative Agent (for Buyers’ accounts) and shall submit a Completed Repurchase Advice. If such MBS is delivered into the Joint Securities Account after Seller has so repurchased it, upon Seller’s request, Administrative Agent will confirm to the securities intermediary that the related securities entitlement has been repurchased by Seller.

 

22.                               Assignment and Participation; Pledges to a Federal Reserve Bank or Federal Home Loan Bank

 

The caption of Section 22 is amended to read as above and Section 22(f) is amended to read as follows:

 

(f)                                   In addition to the foregoing, any Buyer may, at any time in its sole discretion, pledge or grant a Lien in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including any rights to Mortgage Assets and any rights to payment of the Repurchase Price) to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or Federal Home Loan Bank, without notice to or consent of Seller; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest would release any Buyer from any of its obligations under this Agreement, including any obligations to deliver the same Purchased Mortgage Loans back to Seller upon receipt of payment of the Repurchase Price therefor, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Buyer as a party to this Agreement.

B.                                    Clause (dd) of Exhibit B is amended to read as follows:

 

(dd) No Fraud.

To Seller’s actual knowledge, the documents, instruments and agreements submitted for loan underwriting were not falsified and contain no untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the information and statements therein not misleading. Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the related Asset File and Loan Eligibility File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein.

SCHEDULE V

LITIGATION

 

(See attached)

 


 

I.                                        Ordinary Course of Business Litigation

 

As a residential mortgage lender originating, closing and servicing loans in all 50 states, Quicken Loans Inc. (and its Subsidiaries) may, at any point in time, be named as a party to dozens of legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business, such as actions alleging improper lending practices, improper servicing, quiet title actions, improper foreclosure practices, violations of consumer protection laws, etc. and on account of consumer bankruptcies. In many of these actions, Quicken Loans (and its Subsidiaries) may not be the real party of interest (because Quicken Loans is not the servicer of the loan or the holder of the note) but it may appear in the pleadings because it is in the chain of title to property over which there may be a dispute. Such matters are turned over to the servicer of the loan for those loans Quicken Loans or its Subsidiary do not service. In other cases, such as lien avoidance cases brought in bankruptcy, Quicken Loans or its Subsidiary are insured by title insurance and the case is turned over to the title insurer who tenders our defense.

 

As to other matters that arise in the ordinary course, management does not believe that the amount of liability, if any, for any of the pending matters individually or in the aggregate will materially affect Quicken Loans’ consolidated financial position in a material way. However, regardless of the outcome of this or other matters referred to herein, litigation can have a significant effect on Quicken Loans and its Subsidiaries for other reasons such as defense costs, diversion of management focus and resources, and other factors. To the best of Quicken Loans’ information and belief, there are no outstanding judgments, liens or orders that have not been satisfied.

III. Regulatory and Administrative Matters

 

As a non-depository mortgage banker, Quicken Loans (and its Subsidiaries) are regulated by and subject to various state agencies that oversee and regulate (a) mortgage lending and the activities of bank and/or non- bank financial institutions and/or (b) insurance agency / escrow agent activities and practices. These state agencies are generally authorized to: issue licenses or registrations where state law requires; conduct periodic on-site or remote audits or examinations of the regulated institution’s books, files and practices; investigate consumer complaints; issue findings of audit or compliance variances that may require refunds to borrowers for charges beyond those permitted under the state’s laws or regulations; assess fines or penalties if administrative rules are not adhered to, and/or require other corrective actions to be taken. These agencies also have the authority to seek revocation of an institution’s or individual’s license or registration to operate as a mortgage lender or loan originator in the state. In the ordinary course of business and in any given year, Quicken Loans (and its Subsidiaries) participate in and respond to numerous regular periodic state examinations, while at the same time responding to examination findings from other states. In some instances, Quicken Loans (and its Subsidiaries) may dispute the state agency’s findings and/or attempt to reconcile our differences. In other instances Quicken Loans (and its Subsidiaries) may undertake corrective action before being required to do so by the state regulator. In some states, the state’s attorney general may also investigate consumer complaints regarding mortgage lending and issue subpoenas, commence informal inquiries or formal investigations. As a licensed mortgage banker, we are in the ordinary course of business, subject to such inquiries and investigations. Quicken Loans and its Subsidiaries have thirty team members on its legal/compliance team consisting of in-house lawyers, paralegals and compliance personnel who manage this part of the business. Although Quicken Loans (and its Subsidiaries) may currently be subject to various state examinations and consumer complaint inquiries, management does not believe the outcomes of these examinations or inquiries, individually or in the aggregate, will materially affect Quicken Loans’ consolidated financial position or operations in a material way.
