TO

SERVICING AGREEMENT

Dated as of September 23, 2008


THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SERVICING AGREEMENT dated as of September 23, 2008 (this “Amendment”), is among GMAC Mortgage, LLC, formerly known as GMAC Mortgage Corporation “GMACM”), in its capacity as servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”), the GMACM Home Equity Loan Trust 2005-HE1, as issuer (the “Issuer”), and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in its capacity as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined herein will have the meanings assigned to them in the Servicing Agreement dated as of March 29, 2005, among the Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee (the “Servicing Agreement”).

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, the Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee entered into the Servicing Agreement, and the Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee desire to amend the Servicing Agreement as set forth herein;

WHEREAS, a Servicing Default has occurred and is continuing under clause (vii) of the definition thereof;

WHEREAS, Section 7.01 of the Servicing Agreement provides that, upon the occurrence of a Servicing Default, the Financial Guaranty Insurance Company (the “Enhancer”) may terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer as servicer under the Servicing Agreement;

WHEREAS, in consideration for the Enhancer not exercising its right to terminate immediately GMACM as Servicer as a result of the occurrence of such Servicing Default, the Servicer has agreed to amend the Servicing Agreement as set forth below to provide that from and after the date hereof GMACM shall continue to act as Servicer solely on a term basis of two month terms which are renewable at the election and sole discretion of the Enhancer unless and until otherwise terminated as provided in the Servicing Agreement and subject to the terms of this Amendment;

WHEREAS, Section 8.01 of the Servicing Agreement provides that the Servicing Agreement may be amended by the parties thereto provided that any such amendment shall be accompanied by a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such amendment will not result in a Rating Event; and provided further, that the Enhancer and the Indenture Trustee shall consent to such amendment;

WHEREAS, each Rating Agency has provided a letter to the effect that this Amendment No. 1 will not result in a Rating Event, and by executing this Amendment, each of the Enhancer and the Indenture Trustee has provided its consent to this Amendment No. 1; and

WHEREAS, the execution of this Amendment No. 1 has been duly authorized by the Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee;


NOW, THEREFORE, the Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Amendment.

(a) Section 7.01 of the Servicing Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by adding subsection (c) thereto, as follows:

(c) If a Servicing Default shall occur, unless and until the Servicer has been removed as provided in clause (a) of this Section 7.01, the Servicer covenants and agrees to act as the Servicer for a term from the occurrence of the Servicing Default to October 31, 2008, which term may, at the Enhancer’s sole discretion, be extended by written notice to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer for successive terms of two (2) calendar months each thereafter (a “Servicing Extension Term”). Any such notice by the Enhancer shall be in writing and shall be sent via Federal Express or certified mail, return receipt requested and also by facsimile or email to the addresses for the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee set forth in Schedule A attached hereto. Any such notice to the Issuer shall be sent to the address set forth in Section 8.03. The Servicer will, upon the receipt of each such notice of extension from the Enhancer (a “Servicer Extension Notice”) become bound for the duration of the Servicing Extension Term covered by such Servicer Extension Notice to continue as Servicer subject to and in accordance with this Servicing Agreement. If, as of the twentieth (20th) day prior to the last day of any Servicing Extension Term, the Servicer shall not have received any Servicer Extension Notice from the Enhancer, the Servicer shall, within five (5) days thereafter, give written notice of such non-receipt to the Enhancer. Any such notice by the Servicer shall be in writing and shall be sent via Federal Express or certified mail, return receipt requested and also by telephone, facsimile or email to the addresses for the Enhancer set forth in Schedule A attached hereto. If no Servicer Extension Notice is received by the Issuer, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee prior to the last day of the Servicing Extension Term, and provided that no Enhancer Default has occurred and is continuing then all rights and obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement shall automatically terminate without any action of any party; and the Indenture Trustee or such other servicer appointed by the Enhancer or by the Indenture Trustee with the consent of the Enhancer shall act as successor Servicer as provided in Section 7.02 hereof. If an Enhancer Default has occurred and is continuing on the last day of a Servicer Extension Term, and no Servicing Extension Notice has been given by the Enhancer to extend such Servicing Extension Term, then an automatic termination of the Servicer shall not occur under this Section 7.01(c), and the Servicing Extension Term shall be deemed to have been extended for so long as an Enhancer Default has occurred and is continuing, and to be further extended to the end of the second month following the month in which all Enhancer Defaults have been cured. Nothing in this Section 7.01(c) shall derogate from or otherwise impair (i) the Enhancer’s right to remove the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01(a) or any other rights of the Enhancer under this Agreement or (ii) the Servicer’s rights pursuant to Sections 7.01 and 7.02 or any other rights of the Servicer under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the provisions of this Section 7.01(c) shall not apply to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells”) in the event that Wells becomes the successor Servicer. The Servicer and the Enhancer shall notify each other, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in writing of any changes to the contact information set forth on Schedule A. Additionally, upon the written request of GMAC, the Enhancer shall confirm that Schedule A contains accurate

 

2


and up to date information with respect to the name and contact information of current employees of the Enhancer who are responsible for the transactions contemplated by this Amendment.

(b) Section 7.02(a) of the Servicing Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date of the Amendment by adding the phrase “, fails to receive a Servicer Extension Notice as specified in Section 7.01(c)” after the phrase “Section 7.01” in the first sentence of such Section.

SECTION 2. Effect of Amendment.

Upon execution of this Amendment, the Servicing Agreement shall be, and be deemed to be, modified and amended in accordance herewith and the respective rights, limitations, obligations, duties, liabilities and immunities of the parties thereto shall hereafter be determined, exercised and enforced subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of this Amendment shall be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement (as applicable) for any and all purposes. Except as modified and expressly amended by this Amendment, the Servicing Agreement is in all respects ratified and confirmed, and all the terms, provisions and conditions thereof shall be and remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 3. Binding Effect.

The provisions of this Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, any Securityholder, the Enhancer and each of their respective successors and assigns.

SECTION 4. Governing Law.

This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof, other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

SECTION 5. Severability of Provisions.

If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Amendment shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Amendment and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Amendment or of the Securities or the rights of the Enhancer, the Securityholders or the Owner Trustee.

Dated as of September 23, 2008


THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SERVICING AGREEMENT dated as of September 23rd, 2008 (this “Amendment”), is among GMAC Mortgage, LLC, formerly known as GMAC Mortgage Corporation “GMACM”), in its capacity as servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”), the GMACM Home Equity Loan Trust 2006-HE2, as issuer (the “Issuer”), and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., successor to The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, in its capacity as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined herein will have the meanings assigned to them in the Servicing Agreement dated as of June 29, 2006, among the Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee (the “Servicing Agreement”).

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, the Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee entered into the Servicing Agreement, and the Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee desire to amend the Servicing Agreement as set forth herein;

WHEREAS, a Servicing Default has occurred and is continuing under clause (vii) of the definition thereof;

WHEREAS, Section 7.01 of the Servicing Agreement provides that, upon the occurrence of a Servicing Default, the Financial Guaranty Insurance Company (the “Enhancer”) may terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer as servicer under the Servicing Agreement;

WHEREAS, in consideration for the Enhancer not exercising its right to terminate immediately GMACM as Servicer as a result of the occurrence of such Servicing Default, the Servicer has agreed to amend the Servicing Agreement as set forth below to provide that from and after the date hereof GMACM shall continue to act as Servicer solely on a term basis of two month terms which are renewable at the election and sole discretion of the Enhancer unless and until otherwise terminated as provided in the Servicing Agreement and subject to the terms of this Amendment;

WHEREAS, Section 8.01 of the Servicing Agreement provides that the Servicing Agreement may be amended by the parties thereto provided that any such amendment shall be accompanied by a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such amendment will not result in a Rating Event; and provided further, that the Enhancer and the Indenture Trustee shall consent to such amendment;

WHEREAS, each Rating Agency has provided a letter to the effect that this Amendment No. 1 will not result in a Rating Event, and by executing this Amendment, each of the Enhancer and the Indenture Trustee has provided its consent to this Amendment No. 1; and

WHEREAS, the execution of this Amendment No. 1 has been duly authorized by the Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee;


NOW, THEREFORE, the Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Amendment.

(a) Section 7.01 of the Servicing Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by adding subsection (c) thereto, as follows:

(c) If a Servicing Default shall occur, unless and until the Servicer has been removed as provided in clause (a) of this Section 7.01, the Servicer covenants and agrees to act as the Servicer for a term from the occurrence of the Servicing Default to October 31, 2008, which term may, at the Enhancer’s sole discretion, be extended by written notice to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer for successive terms of two (2) calendar months each thereafter (a “Servicing Extension Term”). Any such notice by the Enhancer shall be in writing and shall be sent via Federal Express or certified mail, return receipt requested and also by facsimile or email to the addresses for the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee set forth in Schedule A attached hereto. Any such notice to the Issuer shall be sent to the address set forth in Section 8.03. The Servicer will, upon the receipt of each such notice of extension from the Enhancer (a “Servicer Extension Notice”) become bound for the duration of the Servicing Extension Term covered by such Servicer Extension Notice to continue as Servicer subject to and in accordance with this Servicing Agreement. If, as of the twentieth (20th) day prior to the last day of any Servicing Extension Term, the Servicer shall not have received any Servicer Extension Notice from the Enhancer, the Servicer shall, within five (5) days thereafter, give written notice of such non-receipt to the Enhancer. Any such notice by the Servicer shall be in writing and shall be sent via Federal Express or certified mail, return receipt requested and also by telephone, facsimile or email to the addresses for the Enhancer set forth in Schedule A attached hereto. If no Servicer Extension Notice is received by the Issuer, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee prior to the last day of the Servicing Extension Term, and provided that no Enhancer Default has occurred and is continuing, then all rights and obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement shall automatically terminate without any action of any party; and the Indenture Trustee or such other servicer appointed by the Enhancer or by the Indenture Trustee with the consent of the Enhancer shall act as successor Servicer as provided in Section 7.02 hereof. If an Enhancer Default has occurred and is continuing on the last day of a Servicer Extension Term, and no Servicing Extension Notice has been given by the Enhancer to extend such Servicing Extension Term, then an automatic termination of the Servicer shall not occur under this Section 7.01(c), and the Servicing Extension Term shall be deemed to have been extended for so long as an Enhancer Default has occurred and is continuing, and to be further extended to the end of the second month following the month in which all Enhancer Defaults have been cured. Nothing in this Section 7.01(c) shall derogate from or otherwise impair (i) the Enhancer’s right to remove the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01(a) or any other rights of the Enhancer under this Agreement or (ii) the Servicer’s rights pursuant to Sections 7.01 and 7.02 or any other rights of the Servicer under this Agreement. The Servicer and the Enhancer shall notify each other, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in writing of any changes to the contact information set forth on Schedule A. Additionally, upon the written request of GMAC, the Enhancer shall

 

2


confirm that Schedule A contains accurate and up to date information with respect to the name and contact information of current employees of the Enhancer who are responsible for the transactions contemplated by this Amendment.

(b) Section 7.02(a) of the Servicing Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date of the Amendment by adding the phrase “, fails to receive a Servicer Extension Notice as specified in Section 7.01(c)” after the phrase “Section 7.01” in the first sentence of such Section.

SECTION 2. Effect of Amendment.

Upon execution of this Amendment, the Servicing Agreement shall be, and be deemed to be, modified and amended in accordance herewith and the respective rights, limitations, obligations, duties, liabilities and immunities of the parties thereto shall hereafter be determined, exercised and enforced subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of this Amendment shall be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement (as applicable) for any and all purposes. Except as modified and expressly amended by this Amendment, the Servicing Agreement is in all respects ratified and confirmed, and all the terms, provisions and conditions thereof shall be and remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 3. Binding Effect.

The provisions of this Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, any Securityholder, the Enhancer and each of their respective successors and assigns.

SECTION 4. Governing Law.

This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof, other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

SECTION 5. Severability of Provisions.

If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Amendment shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Amendment and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Amendment or of the Securities or the rights of the Enhancer, the Securityholders or the Owner Trustee.

SECTION 6. Section Headings.

The section headings herein are for convenience of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

WHEREAS, Section 7.01 of the Servicing Agreement provides that, upon the occurrence of a Servicing Default, the Financial Guaranty Insurance Company (the “Enhancer”) may terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer as servicer under the Servicing Agreement;

WHEREAS, in consideration for the Enhancer not exercising its right to terminate immediately GMACM as Servicer as a result of the occurrence of such Servicing Default, the Servicer has agreed to amend the Servicing Agreement as set forth below to provide that from and after the date hereof GMACM shall continue to act as Servicer solely on a term basis of two month terms which are renewable at the election and sole discretion of the Enhancer unless and until otherwise terminated as provided in the Servicing Agreement and subject to the terms of this Amendment;

WHEREAS, Section 8.01 of the Servicing Agreement provides that the Servicing Agreement may be amended by the parties thereto provided that any such amendment shall be accompanied by a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such amendment will not result in a Rating Event; and provided further, that the Enhancer and the Indenture Trustee shall consent to such amendment;

WHEREAS, each Rating Agency has provided a letter to the effect that this Amendment No. 1 will not result in a Rating Event, and by executing this Amendment, each of the Enhancer and the Indenture Trustee has provided its consent to this Amendment No. 1; and

WHEREAS, the execution of this Amendment No. 1 has been duly authorized by the Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee;


NOW, THEREFORE, the Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Amendment.

(a) Section 7.01 of the Servicing Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by adding subsection (c) thereto, as follows:

(c) If a Servicing Default shall occur, unless and until the Servicer has been removed as provided in clause (a) of this Section 7.01, the Servicer covenants and agrees to act as the Servicer for a term from the occurrence of the Servicing Default to October 31, 2008, which term may, at the Enhancer’s sole discretion, be extended by written notice to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer for successive terms of two (2) calendar months each thereafter (a “Servicing Extension Term”). Any such notice by the Enhancer shall be in writing and shall be sent via Federal Express or certified mail, return receipt requested and also by facsimile or email to the addresses for the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee set forth in Schedule A attached hereto. Any such notice to the Issuer shall be sent to the address set forth in Section 8.03. The Servicer will, upon the receipt of each such notice of extension from the Enhancer (a “Servicer Extension Notice”) become bound for the duration of the Servicing Extension Term covered by such Servicer Extension Notice to continue as Servicer subject to and in accordance with this Servicing Agreement. If, as of the twentieth (20th) day prior to the last day of any Servicing Extension Term, the Servicer shall not have received any Servicer Extension Notice from the Enhancer, the Servicer shall, within five (5) days thereafter, give written notice of such non-receipt to the Enhancer. Any such notice by the Servicer shall be in writing and shall be sent via Federal Express or certified mail, return receipt requested and also by telephone, facsimile or email to the addresses for the Enhancer set forth in Schedule A attached hereto. If no Servicer Extension Notice is received by the Issuer, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee prior to the last day of the Servicing Extension Term, and provided that no Enhancer Default has occurred and is continuing, then all rights and obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement shall automatically terminate without any action of any party; and the Indenture Trustee or such other servicer appointed by the Enhancer or by the Indenture Trustee with the consent of the Enhancer shall act as successor Servicer as provided in Section 7.02 hereof. If an Enhancer Default has occurred and is continuing on the last day of a Servicer Extension Term, and no Servicing Extension Notice has been given by the Enhancer to extend such Servicing Extension Term, then an automatic termination of the Servicer shall not occur under this Section 7.01(c), and the Servicing Extension Term shall be deemed to have been extended for so long as an Enhancer Default has occurred and is continuing, and to be further extended to the end of the second month following the month in which all Enhancer Defaults have been cured. Nothing in this Section 7.01(c) shall derogate from or otherwise impair (i) the Enhancer’s right to remove the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01(a) or any other rights of the Enhancer under this Agreement or (ii) the Servicer’s rights pursuant to Sections 7.01 and 7.02 or any other rights of the Servicer under this Agreement. The Servicer and the Enhancer shall notify each other, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in writing of any changes to the contact information set forth on Schedule A. Additionally, upon the written request of GMAC, the Enhancer shall

 

2


confirm that Schedule A contains accurate and up to date information with respect to the name and contact information of current employees of the Enhancer who are responsible for the transactions contemplated by this Amendment.

(b) Section 7.02(a) of the Servicing Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date of the Amendment by adding the phrase “, fails to receive a Servicer Extension Notice as specified in Section 7.01(c)” after the phrase “Section 7.01” in the first sentence of such Section.

SECTION 2. Effect of Amendment.

Upon execution of this Amendment, the Servicing Agreement shall be, and be deemed to be, modified and amended in accordance herewith and the respective rights, limitations, obligations, duties, liabilities and immunities of the parties thereto shall hereafter be determined, exercised and enforced subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of this Amendment shall be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement (as applicable) for any and all purposes. Except as modified and expressly amended by this Amendment, the Servicing Agreement is in all respects ratified and confirmed, and all the terms, provisions and conditions thereof shall be and remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 3. Binding Effect.

The provisions of this Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, any Securityholder, the Enhancer and each of their respective successors and assigns.

SECTION 4. Governing Law.

This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof, other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

SECTION 5. Severability of Provisions.

If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Amendment shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Amendment and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Amendment or of the Securities or the rights of the Enhancer, the Securityholders or the Owner Trustee.

SECTION 6. Section Headings.

The section headings herein are for convenience of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

Re: Payments and Undertakings in Consideration of Amendment to MSR Facility

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is hereby made to that certain Loan Agreement (as amended, the “Senior Loan Agreement”) dated as of June 4, 2008 among Residential Funding Company, LLC and GMAC Mortgage, LLC as borrowers (each, a “Borrower” and collectively, the “Borrowers”), Residential Capital, LLC, GMAC Residential Holding Company, LLC, GMAC-RFC Holding Company, LLC, Homecomings Financial, LLC, as guarantors, certain other affiliates of the Borrowers party thereto (together with the Borrowers, each an “Obligor” and collectively, the “Obligors”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as first priority collateral agent and GMAC LLC (“GMAC”) as lender agent (in such capacity, the “Lender Agent”) and as initial lender (in such capacity, the “Initial Lender”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Senior Loan Agreement.

In addition to the Senior Loan Agreement, the Borrowers and GMAC have entered into a certain a Loan and Security Agreement dated as of April 18, 2008 (as amended, the “MSR Agreement”). The Borrowers have requested that GMAC enter into Amendment No. 5 to the MSR Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”) as of the date hereof. In consideration for its entry, in its capacity as lender under the MSR Agreement, into the Fifth Amendment, GMAC has requested and discussed with the Borrowers that they undertake certain actions permitted and contemplated under the Senior Loan Agreement, and this letter agreement confirms the agreement of the Borrowers, the Lender Agent and the Initial Lender with respect thereto.

By their signatures hereto, for due consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Borrowers hereby covenants, undertakes and agrees to take the following actions under the Senior Loan Agreement notwithstanding any provisions thereunder to the contrary:

(a) The Borrowers agree to make an optional prepayment of Loans pursuant to Section 2.09 of the Senior Loan Agreement on the date hereof in an aggregate amount of $146,681,798


from amounts currently on deposit in the Sales Proceeds Account. By their signatures hereto, the Borrowers acknowledge that such funds constitute Collateral pledged under the Senior Loan Agreement and the Lender Agent and the Initial Lender hereby waive any notice provisions with respect to such repayment; and

(b) The Borrowers agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.02 of the Senior Loan Agreement, they will (a) apply all funds on deposit in Sales Proceeds Accounts (other than Sales Proceeds Accounts holding Net Cash Proceeds solely with respect to the English Note and the Dutch Note and their Supporting Assets) at the end of each Business Day to the repayment of Loans on the immediately following Business Day and (b) apply all funds on deposit in Sales Proceeds Accounts holding Net Cash Proceeds solely with respect to the English Note and the Dutch Note and their Supporting Assets to the repayment of Loans within two Business Days of the deposit thereof to such account. To the extent that the Borrowers subsequently document in a manner acceptable to the Lender Agent in its discretion that funds were incorrectly deposited into a Sales Proceeds Account and used to repay Loans, the Lender Agent will authorize the Borrowers to withdraw funds then on deposit in the Sales Proceeds Accounts in an amount equal to such incorrect deposit rather than use such funds to repay Loans as otherwise required by this clause (b). By their signatures hereto, the Borrowers acknowledge that the funds on deposit in the Sales Proceeds Account and any Net Cash Proceeds received by them constitute Collateral pledged under the Senior Loan Agreement.

Each of the Borrowers hereby represents and warrants that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Except as specifically set forth in this letter agreement, the Senior Loan Agreement and the other Facility Documents remain in full force and effect. Neither the execution, delivery nor effectiveness of this letter agreement shall operate as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default (whether or not known to the Lender Agent or any Lender) or any right, power or remedy of the Lender Agent or any Lender of any provision contained in the Senior Loan Agreement or any other Facility Document, whether as a result of any Default or Event of Default or otherwise.

This letter agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original (whether such counterpart is originally executed or an electronic copy of an original) and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. THIS LETTER AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES (BUT WITH REFERENCE TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, WHICH BY ITS TERMS APPLIES TO THIS AGREEMENT).
