If a Borrower misses a scheduled payment pursuant to the terms of the Pool Note underlying a Loan Interest backing a Pool Certificate, SBA, through the CSA, will make advances to maintain the schedule of interest and principal payments to the Pool Investor. If SBA makes such payments, it is subrogated fully to the rights satisfied by such payment. No Federal, State or local law can preclude or limit the exercise by SBA of any ownership rights in the Pool Loan relating to its purchase of a Loan Interest pursuant to its guarantee of a Pool.
(2) SBA's guarantee of the Pool Certificate is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States.

(5) SBA must approve the form and terms of the Pool Certificate.
(6) A Pool Certificate must be registered with the CSA.
(7) The face amount of a Pool Certificate cannot be less than a minimum amount as specified in the Guide, and the dollar amount of Pool Certificates must be in increments which SBA will specify in the Guide (except for one Pool Certificate for each Pool). SBA may change these requirements based upon an analysis of market conditions and program experience, and will publish any such change in the Federal Register.
(8) All payments on a Pool Certificate are due pursuant to terms, conditions, and percentages set forth thereon or referenced therein and are based on the unpaid principal balance of the Pool represented by the Pool Certificate. Any Loan Receivables applicable to a Loan Interest in the SBA-guaranteed portion of a Pool will be passed through to the appropriate Pool Investors with the regularly scheduled payments to such Pool Investors with the exception of late payment penalties. Late payment penalties will be retained by the Seller as compensation for additional collection efforts. Prepayment penalties received by the CSA shall be distributed to the Investor on a pro rata basis.

(a) Transfer of Pool Certificate. A transfer of a Pool Certificate must comply with Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York. The seller may use any form of assignment acceptable to SBA and the CSA. The CSA may refuse to issue a Pool Certificate until it is satisfied that the documents of transfer are complete.

The CSA will supply the transfer fee information to the Pool Investor.
10. Custodian of this Agreement. CSA shall be the custodian of the executed original of this Agreement. The Agreement shall be delivered to CSA immediately after execution by Seller, Pool Originator and Pool Investor.
11. SBA Right to Prohibit Inclusion of Pool Loan into Pool. SBA has the right to review any Pool Loan before a Loan Interest in it is added to a Pool, and SBA may prohibit the Pool’s formation as proposed based on SBA’s review in SBA’s sole discretion. In the event SBA decides to review Pool Loan documents related to a Loan Interest prior to the requested Pool formation, that Loan Interest may not be added to the Pool until SBA reviews and approves the Pool Loan for such purpose. Copies of Pool Loan documents related to underwriting and origination, and any other Pool Loan-related documents SBA may, in its sole discretion, request to review in writing, must be sent to SBA’s Sacramento Loan Processing Center, Attention: Director, Sacramento Loan Processing Center.

(e) CSA agrees to notify SBA of any borrower that did not make a payment in a given month. Such report shall be received by SBA by the 10th of the month or next business day.

SBA will forward funds necessary to make payments that are allocable to the Loan Interest in the SBA-guaranteed portion of the Pool.

(l) CSA agrees to perform its duties under this Agreement in accordance with the Statement of Work related to the Program in its [procurement amendment dated XXX] with SBA.
13. CSA and SBA Role Concerning Transferability of Participation Certificates.
(a) SBA and CSA establish the form of assignment of a Seller Receipt. A transfer of a Pool Certificate requires use of the Form of Detached Assignment for U.S. Small Business Administration Pool Certificate for The First Lien Position 504 Loan Pools (SBA Form XXXX). The effective date of any transfer of the Pool Certificate shall be the date on which such transfer is registered on the books of CSA. Any payment or action by CSA or SBA to the transferor Pool Investor prior to the effective date of the transfer of the Pool Certificate shall be final and fully effective. Neither SBA nor CSA shall have any further obligation to the transferee Pool Investor with respect to such payment or action, and any adjustment between the transferor and transferee resulting from such payment or action by SBA or CSA shall be the responsibility and obligation solely of the transferor and transferee.
(b) CSA will make payments on payment date to the person or entity that on the books of CSA is the Pool Investor as of the close of business on the applicable Record Date. The Record Date is the last business day of the prior month. Any other adjustment between transferee and transferor is their responsibility and obligation. Although pools may have multiple owners, each Pool Certificate shall only have one owner at any given time that is entitled to the benefits of ownership of the Pool Certificate. Upon transfer of the Pool Certificate, the transferor shall cease to have any right in the Pool Certificate or any obligation or commitment under this Agreement.
(c) The Seller Receipt may be transferred on the records of the CSA after written permission for the sale is provided by SBA.
(d) The Pool Originator Receipt may not be transferred.
(e) CSA shall serve as the central registry of Participation Certificate ownership.
(a) To replace a Participation Certificate because of loss, theft, destruction, mutilation, or defacement, the Program Participant must:
(1) Give the CSA information about the Participation Certificate and the facts relating to the claim;
(2) File an indemnity bond acceptable to SBA and the CSA with a surety to protect the interests of SBA and the CSA;
(3) Reimburse CSA for reasonable costs related to replacing the Participation Certificate; and
(4) Use an affidavit of loss (form available from the CSA) to report:
(i) The name and address of the Program Participant (and the name and capacity of any representative actually filing the claim);
(ii) The Program Participant Certificate by pool number, if applicable;
(iii) The Program Participant Certificate number;
(iv) The original principal amount;
(v) The name in which the Program Participant Certificate was registered;
(vi) Any assignment, endorsement or other writing on the Program Participant Certificate; and
(vii) A statement of the circumstances of the theft or loss.
(b) When the CSA receives notice of the theft or loss, it will stop any transfer of the Participation Certificate. The Program Participant must send to the CSA all available portions of a mutilated or defaced Participation Certificate. When the Program Participant completes these steps, the CSA will replace the Program Participant Certificate.
15. Purchase by SBA.
(a) Written notices will be given to Seller and CSA when SBA is to purchase the Loan Interest 10 days prior to purchase.
(b) On the purchase date, SBA will arrange to have funds wired to CSA. CSA will forward funds received with the next scheduled pool payment. The payoff amount will include the outstanding principal balance of the Loan Interest in the SBA-guaranteed portion of the Pool plus interest through the date immediately preceding the date of SBA purchase, less any funds previously advanced. The CSA transcript of account will be used to determine the payment amount.
(c) Upon purchase of the Loan Interest by SBA pursuant to this paragraph, the rights and obligations of each Program Participant shall be governed by this Agreement. SBA shall be deemed a transferee of the Loan Interest in the SBA-guaranteed portion of a Pool and the final Pool Investor thereof with all the rights and privileges of such Pool Investor under this Agreement.
16. Default by Borrower
(a) CSA shall notify SBA of those loans that are in payment default.
(b) When SBA determines that the Borrower has failed for any reason to remit the payments required pursuant to the Pool Note, SBA may purchase the pooled portion of the Pool Loan under the provisions of this Agreement, provided, however, under no circumstances shall SBA be liable for any amount attributable to any late payment charge as described in more detail in paragraph 16(c).
(c) Pursuant to the Third Party Lender Agreement, Seller shall not be entitled to receive any prepayment penalties, late fees, other default charges, or escalated interest after default from Liquidation Proceeds obtained directly or indirectly from Project Property until all Loan Receivables payable on the CDC 504 loan with a subordinate lien on the Project Property have been received by the CDC or SBA.
17. Default by Central Servicing Agent.
(a) If CSA receives any payment from Borrower, Seller or SBA and fails to remit to the Program Participant pursuant this Agreement, the Program Participant shall have the right to make written demand on CSA for any payment not remitted by CSA.
(b) If CSA fails to remit any such payment within ten (10) business days of such demand, Program Participant shall have the right to make written demand on the SBA Servicing Office identified in this Agreement.
(c) Upon receipt of written demand from Program Participant, SBA will verify non‑payment by CSA. SBA, within thirty (30) days of verification of non‑payment by CSA, will (i) make payment directly to Program Participant of the amount of the unremitted payment plus interest at Program Participant Certificate rate to day of payment by SBA, or (ii) purchase the Program Participant Certificate.
(d) CSA shall repay SBA within ten (10) business days after receipt of written demand from SBA an amount equal to the unremitted amount plus interest computed at the interest rate on the Program Participant Certificate on the unpaid balance of the Loan Interest backing such Participation Certificate from the date of the failure of CSA to remit to the Program Participant to the date of CSA's repayment to SBA. Such payment will not affect CSA's liability for a late payment charge under this Agreement.
18. Prepayment or Refinancing by Borrower.
(a) This paragraph applies if the Borrower notifies Seller that it intends to make a partial or total prepayment of the Pool Loan.
(b) Seller shall transmit written notice to CSA of Borrower's intent to make a partial or total prepayment of principal. Such prepayment can be by refinancing or otherwise. The prepayment date must be a date that is two business days prior to a monthly payment date that is established with the CSA, and on which immediately available funds shall be delivered to CSA. The written notice shall be received by the CSA at least ten (10) business days prior to the prepayment date, and it shall be Seller's responsibility to verify receipt of such notice by CSA. Seller's notice to CSA shall include:
The SBA loan number and Borrower name
The prepayment date
The principal amount being prepaid
The accrued interest due the CSA as of prepayment date (interest shall accrue through and including the calendar day immediately preceding the prepayment date)
A certification from an officer of the Seller that the prepayment is in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Pool Note and applicable law
(The above certifications are intended to guard against Seller's unilateral repurchase of the pooled portion of the Pool Loan from the Pool Investor without prior written consent of SBA.)
(c) On the prepayment date, Borrower will wire the amount due to CSA without notification from CSA. If funds are not received by CSA on the prepayment date, the prepayment shall be cancelled or rescheduled for the day prior to the next monthly payment date. The Pool Loan will accrue interest through the day immediately prior to the date payment is received by CSA.
(d) CSA shall, upon receipt of notice pursuant to paragraph 18(b), advise the Seller in writing of any discrepancy between the prepayment information supplied by the Seller and the CSA’s current records. Seller agrees to work with CSA to resolve errors or miscalculations.
(e) CSA will remit the prepayment amount to Program Participant in accordance with this Agreement.
(f) Any amount received by CSA above expected principal and interest will be distributed pro-rata to Program Participants.
(g) Prepayment penalties received by the CSA shall be distributed to the Investor, Seller and Pool Originator on a pro rata basis.
19. Option to Purchase by SBA. SBA shall at any time have the option to purchase from the Pool Investor the Loan Interest in the SBA-guaranteed portion of a Pool backing the Pool Certificate less the Servicing Retention Amount and other applicable fees. Failure of the Pool Investor to submit the Pool Certificate to CSA for redemption on the date of prepayment if the prepaid loan is the last loan in the pool specified by SBA or CSA will not entitle the Pool Investor to accrued interest beyond such date.
20. Side Agreements. SBA’s obligation to make payments under this Agreement is not affected by the Third Party Lender Agreement or any side agreement between the parties unless SBA is a signatory to such agreement.
21. Indemnity and Force Majeure. Each party to this Agreement (including CSA) for itself and its successors and assigns, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any other party (including CSA) from and against any costs, liabilities, and related expenses arising from the performance of its duties or otherwise arising under this Agreement; provided that no indemnification shall be provided under this Agreement for action or failure to act which constitutes negligence, breach of authority, or bad faith.
If any party hereto (including CSA) is in doubt as to the applicability of this Agreement to a communication it has received, it may refer the matter to SBA for an opinion as to whether it may take, suffer or omit any action pursuant to such communications.
Under no circumstances shall any party hereto (including CSA) be held liable to any person or entity for special or consequential damages or for attorneys' fees or expenses in connection with its performance under this Agreement.
If any party hereto (including CSA) shall be delayed in its performance hereunder or prevented entirely or in part from completing such performance due to causes or events beyond its control, such delay or non‑performance shall be excused and the reasonable time for performance in connection with this Agreement shall be extended to include the period of such delay or non‑performance. Causes or events include but are not limited to: (i) Act of God; (ii) postal malfunction; (iii) interruption of power or other utility, transportation, or communication service; (iv) act of civil or military authority; (v) sabotage; (vi) national emergency; (vii) war; (viii) explosion, flood, accident, earthquake or other catastrophe; (ix) fire; (x) strike or other labor problem; (xi) legal action; (xii) present or future law, government order, rule or regulation; or (xiii) shortage of suitable parts, materials, labor or transportation. In disputes between CSA and Seller, CSA and Pool Originator, or between CSA and Pool Investor, SBA reserves the right to require CSA to take appropriate action as SBA determines, and if legal action is required, SBA will pay reasonable attorney's fees incurred by CSA in taking such action.
22. Emergency Repurchase Authority by Seller. In certain critical situations in which the Borrower's ability to remain in business is directly dependent on a change in the provisions relating to the installment payments by Borrower, SBA may permit Seller to repurchase the Pool Loan portions held by the Pool Originator and Pool Investor. Seller must submit to the SBA servicing center a written request, which includes the following:
A. Current financial statements of the Borrower,
B. A statement that the proposed change in the terms and conditions of the Pool Loan is solely for the benefit of Borrower, and
C. A certification by Seller that it will make the requested change in the terms and conditions if repurchase is approved by SBA.
The SBA servicing center must review the financial statements of Borrower and any other appropriate information and conclude that (i) a situation exists that Borrower's business will probably fail if the change is not approved, and (ii) that it is probable that the business will survive and resume payment if the change is approved. If all conditions are met, the SBA servicing center may approve the purchase of the Pool Loan portions by Seller.
Loan Interests purchased pursuant to this paragraph may not be resold unless the Borrower has made all payments as scheduled in the Pool Note for a period of twelve (12) months.
23. Inconsistent Provisions and Caption Headings. Any inconsistency between this Agreement and Title 13, Code of Federal Regulations, shall be resolved in favor of Title 13. Program Rules and Regulations in effect on the Settlement Date, and as may be amended from time to time in the Federal Register, apply to this Agreement unless explicitly stated to be inapplicable. The caption headings for the various paragraphs herein are for case of reference only and are not to be deemed part of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
In consideration of the mutual promises herein contained, the parties agree to all the provisions of this Agreement. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this multi‑page Agreement this __________day of_______________ 20_______ in New York State.
By signing below, each party (1) certifies that it has reviewed all certifications made on such party’s behalf in this Agreement and that all of these certifications are true and correct, and (2) acknowledges that SBA is relying on these certifications in order to issue a Federal guarantee, and that false statements are punishable under Federal Law including 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 31 U.S.C. 3729-3733.
