Failure to initiate timely transfers can:

Affect your membership status

Make it hard to get MINs transferred later because:

 – Loans sold to another company or no longer active

 – Company you sold to goes out of business Burden you with mail and requests about MINs you

are no longer servicing

Saddle you with loans if your trading partner goes

out of business

Cause you to incur additional fees

Re: Member Alert: Resignation of ORG ID/CO.NAME

Please be advised that XXX is resigning their MERS membership. In order to complete their resignation from MERS, MINs naming them

as rights holder in the MERS® System must be transferred.

You are receiving this notice as our records indicate that you previously transacted with this MERS Member.

The attached list of loans names the resigning Member in both the Servicer and Investor fields on the MERS® System. Please review

these loans to determine if you should be named in any capacity or if your records correspond to a different MIN in the MERS® System

naming your ORG ID. If you should be named as Servicer and/or Investor on any of these MINs, please prepare a text file or Excel

spreadsheet containing the applicable MINs, and submit an online Certificate of Ownership, within 15 days of this email. If MERS has

not already authorized a user in your organization to submit online certificates, please email [email protected] to request

authorization.

If you have No MINs, please respond stating that.

If you need more time to research, please respond stating that.When responding, please include all the ORG IDs that you are responding in regards to.

Please note that transactions authorized by Member Certificate are subject to a $10 per loan certificate processing fee. Additionally,

loans transferred 270 days or more after the Note Date are assessed the then current rate for a seasoned servicing transfer as well as

the $95.00 External Research Fee (pursuant to Announcement 2008-08 if applicable).

Also note that if you change the Investor to your Org ID a Mortgage Loan Transfer Notice showing your organization as the New

Investor will be sent to the Primary Borrower for each affected loan unless you have opted out of the MERS® InvestorID. This Notice

is generated to comply with the requirements set forth in The Helping Families Save Their Homes Act of 2009 to notify the Borrowerin writing of the transfer of ownership within thirty days of the transfer. As the New Investor, your organization will be invoiced for

the notices.

You may want to consider contacting the MERS Help Desk at (888)-680-6377 or [email protected] to complete a work order.

Work Orders will be reviewed and an estimate including number of work hours and total price will be provided to you for your

approval. Please inform me if you decide to contract EDS to complete the work order and provide the targeted transfer date.

If you need more information or wish to discuss this further, please contact me.

I, __Rachel Weber ______________, being the __Vice President_________________________ of _MERS Product Performance 1000050 (“Note Owner”) am authorized to certify to the

following:

1. Note Owner has purchased the servicing rights and/or promissory note ownership interests of the MERS Registered Mortgages listed on Exhibit A attached to this Certificate from _ABC

Mortgage Company 1000001 ____ (the “Seller”) pursuant to a separate Purchase Agreement between the Note Owner and Seller.

2. Upon information and belief, the Seller is, or was, a member of MERSCORP, Inc. (“CORP”) and these mortgage loans are registered on the MERS® System, (the “MERS Mortgage Loans”),

such that the mortgagee of record under each Mortgage is identified as Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. (“MERS”).

3. Upon information and belief, the Seller is no longer a member or in a position to initiate the necessary transactions on the MERS® System, but is currently reflected on the MERS® System

as the servicer and/or investor of such MERS Mortgage Loan. The Note Owner needs the assistance of MERS Corporate to initiate the transaction(s) on the MERS® System to show a

transfer from the Seller to the Note Owner of said servicing rights and/or promissory note ownership interests.

4. Note Owner hereby requests CORP and/or MERS to change the MERS® System to reflect the following for 1 registered loans:

MERS Product Performance 1000050 in the servicer field,

MERS Product Performance 1000050 in the investor field

N/A in the sub-servicer field (if applicable).

The servicing agent is responsible for payment of any and all unpaid transaction fees incurred on the MERS® System related to Registered Mortgages listed on Exhibit A, including but not

limited to unpaid registration fees previously incurred. However, if the servicing agent refuses to pay, Note Owner shall pay the fees. Effective January 1, 2008, outstanding transaction

fees shall include an administrative service charge of $10.00 per each Registered Mortgage included in Exhibit A.

5. The Note Owner agrees to indemnify and hold CORP and MERS and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,

damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that CORP or MERS may sustain arising out of the requests made by

the Note Owner regarding the MERS Mortgage Loan.

6. CORP and/or MERS may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed herein by the Note Owner, upon any request, instruction,

certificate or other document furnished to CORP and/or MERS by the Note Owner, reasonably believed by the CORP to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper

party or parties and conforming to the requirements of this Certificate.

7. If CORP and/or MERS shall receive instructions regarding the registration of the MERS Mortgage Loan from any other person who claims to hold any pledge, lien, security interest or other
