33


 

if (a) the Proceeding relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (b) the Proceeding seeks injunctive or equitable relief against the Claimant, or (c) the Indemnifying Party has not elected to defend or is failing to defend in good faith the Proceeding.

Section 11.02 Exclusions
  (a)   BANA will not be liable for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement (where such action or inaction does not constitute a breach of this Agreement), or for any action or inaction in accordance with the direction or consent of Client.

  (a)   Notifies the other promptly in writing of any matters in respect of which the indemnity may apply and of which the notifying Party has knowledge in order to allow the indemnitor the opportunity to investigate and defend the matter; provided, however, that the failure to so notify will only relieve the indemnitor of its obligations under this ARTICLE XI if and to the extent that the indemnitor is materially prejudiced thereby; and

However, if the indemnitor fails to promptly assume the defense of the claim, the party entitled to indemnification may assume the defense at the indemnitor’s cost and expense.
The indemnitor will not be responsible for any settlement or compromise made without its consent, unless the indemnitee has tendered notice and the indemnitor has then refused to assume and defend the claim and it is later determined that the indemnitor was liable to assume and defend the claim. The indemnitee agrees to cooperate in good faith with the indemnitor at the request and expense of the indemnitor.

This Agreement, including the exhibits that are incorporated herein, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior agreements or understandings, written or oral, express or implied, with respect thereto. This Agreement may be amended and any provision hereof waived, but only in writing signed by the Party against whom such enforcement is sought. The waiver by a Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other subsequent breach. No representation, inducement, promise, understanding, condition or warranty not set forth herein has been made or relied upon by either Party. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof shall confer upon any Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder. The Parties hereby agree that this Agreement is a complex commercial contract that has been negotiated and drafted jointly by sophisticated commercial Parties represented by counsel and, accordingly, that no rule of contract construction or interpretation pursuant to which ambiguities are construed against the draftsperson shall be applied to the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. The expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason will not release either Party from any liabilities or obligations set forth herein or therein which (a) the Parties have expressly agreed will survive any such expiration or termination or (b) remain to be performed or by their nature would be intended to be applicable following any such expiration or termination.

Section 12.08 Relationship of the Parties
The Parties hereto are independent contractors and nothing in this Agreement will be deemed or construed as constituting either Party as partner, joint venture or fiduciary of the other, or to create any other form of legal association that would impose liability on one Party for the act or failure to act of the other. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Party has the sole right and obligation to supervise, manage, contract, direct, procure, perform or cause to be performed all work to be performed by it pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 12.11 Severability of Provisions
If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement will be held invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms will be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and will in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement it being the intent and agreement of the Parties that this Agreement shall be deemed amended by modifying such invalid provision to the extent necessary to make it legal and enforceable while preserving its intent or, if that is not possible, by substituting therefore another provision that is legal and enforceable and achieves the same objective. If the invalidity of any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement will deprive any Party of the economic benefit

- 32 -


 

intended to be conferred by this Agreement, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to develop a structure the economic effect of which is nearly as possible the same as the economic effect of this Agreement without regard to such invalidity.
Section 12.12 No Third Party Beneficiaries
This Agreement is for the sole and exclusive benefit of BANA and Client and their respective successors and shall not be deemed to be for the direct or indirect benefit of any Mortgagor, Investor, or any other Person or entity.

Neither Party shall issue any press release relating to the relationship contemplated by this Agreement or use any trade name, trademark, service mark, or any other information which identifies the other Party in the issuing Party’s sales, marketing, or publicity activities without giving the other Party reasonable time to review and approve such release or use, with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

EXHIBIT B — ADVANCE REIMBURSEMENT FRAMEWORK FOR GROUP 1 MORTGAGE LOANS
DURING INTERIM SERVICING PERIOD
A.   Purchase of Participation Balances
     (i) On January 5, 2012, BANA shall deliver to Client the related Monthly Subservicing Report which shall reflect all the activity on the Group 1 Mortgage Loans during the period from the October 31, 2011 Cut-off Date through December 31, 2011. Based on the related Monthly Subservicing Report, Merrill Lynch shall determine which Participations related to the Group 1 Mortgage Loans following the Cut-off Date, are (i) Ineligible Participations and (ii) the Participations eligible for inclusion in trusts related to HMBS (including sufficient commitment authority to issue such HMBS from Ginnie Mae)(“Eligible Participations”). On January 6, 2012, all such Ineligible Participations shall be sold by BANA and purchased by Client for a price equal to 100% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of such Ineligible Participations as of such date plus accrued interest thereon for the period beginning on the related Sale Date and ending on the related reimbursement date at the rate of LIBOR plus 125 basis points.
     (ii) All Eligible Participations shall be pooled into HMBS and the Client and Merrill Lynch shall enter into an HMBS trade and cause the related HMBS to be delivered in accordance with the Merrill Delivery Instructions, which settlement shall occur on or before January 17, 2012 (the “Initial Settlement Date”). The Client shall assign to BANA the trade ticket or confirmation pursuant to which Merrill Lynch has agreed to purchase the related HMBS from Client. Upon receipt of the related HMBS, Merrill Lynch will pay the related purchase price for the HMBS (the related “Purchase Proceeds”) to BANA. BANA shall net from the Purchase Proceeds the amount of all Subservicer Funded Advances not previously reimbursed at par plus accrued interest thereon for the period beginning on the related Sale Date and ending on the Initial Settlement Date at the rate of LIBOR plus 125 basis points, and BANA will remit any net remaining Purchase Proceeds to Client. To the extent the Purchase Proceeds from the HMBS sale are not sufficient to reimburse BANA for all Subservicer Funded Advances not previously reimbursed, Client will reimburse BANA out of Client’s corporate funds on the Initial Settlement Date.
B.   Reimbursement for Advances Made by BANA with respect to the Group 1 Mortgage Loans during the Interim Servicing Period
     (i) During the Interim Servicing Period, on the third (3rd) Business Day of each month, BANA shall deliver to Client the related Monthly Subservicing Report which shall reflect all the activity on the Group 1 Mortgage Loans during the related Monthly Subservicing Reporting Period. Based on the related Monthly Subservicing Report, Merrill Lynch shall determine which Participations related to the Group 1 Mortgage Loans for such Monthly Subservicing Reporting Period, are (i) Ineligible Participations and (ii) Eligible Participations. On the fourth (4th) Business Day of such month (each an “Ineligible Participations Reimbursement Date”), all such Ineligible Participations shall be sold by BANA and purchased by Client for a price equal to 100% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of such Ineligible Participations as of such date plus accrued interest thereon for the period beginning on the date the Subservicer Funded Advances were made and ending on the related Ineligible Participations Reimbursement Date at the rate of LIBOR plus 125 basis points. The Client shall also pay the monthly Subservicing Fee to BANA for each of the Group 1 Mortgage Loans on the related Ineligible Participations Reimbursement Date.
     (ii) All Eligible Participations shall be pooled into HMBS and the Client and Merrill Lynch shall enter into an HMBS trade and cause the related HMBS to be delivered in accordance with the Merrill Delivery Instructions, which settlement shall occur within six (6) Business Days following the related

B1-


 

Ineligible Participations Reimbursement Date (each a “Settlement Date”). The Client shall assign to BANA the trade ticket or confirmation pursuant to which Merrill Lynch has agreed to purchase the related HMBS from Client. Upon receipt of the related HMBS, Merrill Lynch will pay the related purchase price for the HMBS (the related “Purchase Proceeds”) to BANA. BANA shall net from the Purchase Proceeds the amount of all Subservicer Funded Advances not previously reimbursed at par plus accrued interest thereon for the period beginning on the date the Subservicer Funded Advances were made and ending on the related Settlement Date at the rate of LIBOR plus 125 basis points, and BANA will remit any net remaining Purchase Proceeds to Client. To the extent the Purchase Proceeds from the HMBS sale are not sufficient to reimburse BANA for all Subservicer Funded Advances not previously reimbursed, Client will reimburse BANA out of Client’s corporate funds on the related Settlement Date.
     (iii) In no event shall (a) the amount of Subservicer Funded Advances in respect of the Group 1 Mortgage Loans which were made on and after February 1, 2012 and which have not been previously reimbursed to BANA exceed $35,000,000 and (b) the amount of Advances funded by BANA in respect of the Group 8 Mortgage Loans which have not been previously reimbursed to BANA pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement exceed $1,000,000 (the Advances described in clauses (a) and (b), the “Capped Funded Advances”). During the Interim Servicing Period, in the event the aggregate Capped Funded Advances for the Group 1 Mortgage Loans exceeds $25,000,000 and the Group 8 Mortgage Loans exceeds $500,000 at any time during the month, BANA shall deliver to Client a mid-month report setting forth the information identified in Exhibit D-2 (each a “Mid-Month Report”) for the Group 1 Mortgage Loans. Upon receipt of the report, the Client and BANA shall initiate the pooling process as set forth in clause (ii) above and pool all Eligible Participations into HMBS and settle the related HMBS with Merrill Lynch within six (6) Business Days of receipt of such Mid-Month Report. The Client shall assign to BANA the trade ticket or confirmation pursuant to which Merrill Lynch has agreed to purchase the related HMBS from Client. Upon receipt of the related HMBS, Merrill Lynch will pay the related Purchase Proceeds to BANA. BANA shall net from the Purchase Proceeds the amount of all Subservicer Funded Advances not previously reimbursed at par plus accrued interest thereon for the period beginning on the date the Subservicer Funded Advances were made and ending on the related Settlement Date at the rate of LIBOR plus 125 basis points, and BANA will remit any net remaining Purchase Proceeds to Client. To the extent the Purchase Proceeds from the HMBS sale are not sufficient to reimburse BANA for all Subservicer Funded Advances not previously reimbursed, Client will reimburse BANA out of Client’s corporate funds on the related Settlement Date.
