Pursuant to Section 2.03, the Company shall deliver the Mortgage Loan Documents for each Mortgage Loan to the Custodian prior to the related Closing Date. The contents of each Mortgage File not delivered to the Custodian are and shall be held in trust by the Company for the benefit of the Purchaser as the owner thereof. The Company shall maintain a Servicing File consisting of a copy of the contents of each Mortgage File and the originals of the documents in each Mortgage File not delivered to the Custodian. The possession of each Servicing File by the Company is at the will of the Purchaser for the sole purpose of servicing the related Mortgage Loan, and such retention and possession by the Company is in a custodial capacity only. Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans the ownership of each Mortgage Note, the related Mortgage and the related Mortgage File and Servicing File shall vest immediately in the Purchaser, and the ownership of all records and documents with respect to the related Mortgage Loan prepared by or which come into the possession of the Company shall vest immediately in the Purchaser and shall be retained and maintained by the Company, in trust, at the will of the Purchaser and only in such custodial capacity. Each Servicing File shall be segregated from the other books and records of the Company and shall be marked appropriately to reflect clearly the sale of the related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser. The Company shall release its custody of the contents of any Servicing File only in accordance with written instructions from the Purchaser, unless such release is required as incidental to the Company's servicing of the Mortgage Loans or is in connection with a repurchase of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.03, 3.06, or 6.02.
Releases of Mortgaged Property Except as described in the next sentence, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage requires the mortgagee to release all or any material portion of the related Mortgaged Property that was included in the appraisal for such Mortgaged Property, and/or generates income from the lien of the related Mortgage except upon payment in full of all amounts due under the related Mortgage Loan or in connection with the defeasance provisions of the related Note and Mortgage. The Mortgages relating to those Mortgage Loans identified on Schedule A hereto require the mortgagee to grant releases of portions of the related Mortgaged Properties upon (a) the satisfaction of certain legal and underwriting requirements and/or (b) the payment of a predetermined or objectively determinable release price and prepayment consideration in connection therewith. Except as described in the first sentence hereof and for those Mortgage Loans identified on Schedule A, no Mortgage Loan permits the full or partial release or substitution of collateral unless the mortgagee or servicer can require the Borrower to provide an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that such release or substitution of collateral (a) would not constitute a "significant modification" of such Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treas. Reg. ss.1.1001-3 and (b) would not cause such Mortgage Loan to fail to be a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code.
Releases of Mortgaged Properties No Mortgage Note or Mortgage requires the mortgagee to release all or any material portion of the related Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage except upon (i) payment in full of all amounts due under the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) delivery of "government securities" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"), in connection with a defeasance of the related Mortgage Loan; provided that the Mortgage Loans that are Crossed Loans, and the other individual Mortgage Loans secured by multiple parcels, may require the respective mortgagee(s) to grant releases of portions of the related Mortgaged Property or the release of one or more related Mortgaged Properties upon (i) the satisfaction of certain legal and underwriting requirements or (ii) the payment of a release price in connection therewith; and provided, further, that certain Crossed Groups or individual Mortgage Loans secured by multiple parcels may permit the related Mortgagor to obtain the release of one or more of the related Mortgaged Properties by substituting comparable real estate property, subject to, among other conditions precedent, receipt of confirmation from each Rating Agency that such release and substitution will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any of its then-current ratings of the Certificates; and provided, further, that any Mortgage Loan may permit the unconditional release of one or more unimproved parcels of land to which the Seller did not give any material value in underwriting the Mortgage Loan.
Sale and Conveyance of Mortgage Loans Seller agrees to sell and Purchaser agrees to purchase, from time to time, those certain Mortgage Loans identified in a Mortgage Loan Schedule, on the price and terms set forth herein. Purchaser, on any Funding Date, shall be obligated to purchase only such Mortgage Loans set forth in the applicable Mortgage Loan Schedule, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Purchaser will purchase Mortgage Loan(s) from Seller, from time to time on such Funding Dates as may be agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller. The closing shall, at Purchaser's option be either: by telephone, confirmed by letter or wire as the parties shall agree; or conducted in person at such place, as the parties shall agree. On the Funding Date and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Seller will sell, transfer, assign, set over and convey to the Purchaser, without recourse except as set forth in this Agreement, and the Purchaser will purchase, all of the right, title and interest of the applicable Seller in and to the Mortgage Loans being conveyed by it hereunder, as identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. Examination of the Mortgage Files may be made by Purchaser or its designee as follows. No later than five business days prior to the Funding Date, Seller will deliver to Purchaser or Custodian Legal Documents required pursuant to Schedule B. Upon Purchaser's request, Seller shall make the Credit Documents available to Purchaser for review, at Seller's place of business and during reasonable business hours. If Purchaser makes such examination prior to the Funding Date and identifies any Mortgage Loans that do not conform to the Cendant Guide, such Mortgage Loans will be deleted from the Mortgage Loan Schedule at Purchaser's discretion. Purchaser may, at its option and without notice to Seller, purchase all or part of the Mortgage Loans without conducting any partial or complete examination. The fact that Purchaser has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Loan files shall not affect Purchaser's rights to demand repurchase, substitution or other relief as provided herein. On the Funding Date and in accordance with the terms herein, Purchaser will pay to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Purchase Price, together with interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate from the Cut-Off Date to the Funding Date, according to the instructions to be provided, respectively, by Cendant Mortgage and the Trust. Purchaser shall be entitled to all scheduled principal due after the Cut-Off Date, all other recoveries of principal collected after the Funding Date and all payments of interest on the Mortgage Loans (minus that portion of any such payment which is allocable to the period prior to the Funding Date). The principal balance of each Mortgage Loan as of the Funding Date is determined after application of payments of principal due on or before the Funding Date whether or not collected. Therefore, payments of scheduled principal and interest prepaid for a due date beyond the Funding Date shall not be applied to the principal balance as of the Funding Date. Such prepaid amounts shall be the property of Purchaser. Seller shall hold any such prepaid amounts for the benefit of Purchaser for subsequent remittance by Seller to Purchaser. All scheduled payments of principal due on or before the Funding Date and collected by Seller after the Funding Date shall belong to Seller.
Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans (a) Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt of the purchase price referred to in Section 1 hereof and the satisfaction of the other conditions to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s obligations set forth herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, all of the right, title and interest of the Mortgage Loan Seller in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files, with the understanding that a servicing rights purchase and sale agreement or comparable agreement may be executed by the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Master Servicer. Such assignment includes all scheduled payments of principal and interest under and proceeds of the Mortgage Loans received after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of interest and principal due on or before their respective Cut-off Dates, which shall belong and be promptly remitted to the Mortgage Loan Seller) together with all documents delivered or caused to be delivered hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller (including all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files and any other documents required to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller under Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement). The Purchaser shall be entitled to receive all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans (if any), due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date, in each case, which shall belong to the Mortgage Loan Seller), except any Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations. After the Mortgage Loan Seller’s transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, as provided herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with the Purchaser’s ownership of the Mortgage Loans. Except for actions that are the express responsibility of another party hereunder or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and further except for actions that the Mortgage Loan Seller is expressly permitted to complete subsequent to the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, on or before the Closing Date, take all actions required under applicable law to effectuate the transfer of the Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser. It is expressly agreed and understood that, notwithstanding the assignment of the Mortgage Loan documents, it is expressly intended that the Mortgage Loan Seller will receive the benefit of any securitization indemnification provisions in the Mortgage Loan documents.
(b) The conveyance of the Mortgage Loans and the related rights and property accomplished hereby is intended by the parties hereto to constitute a sale by the Mortgage Loan Seller of all the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loans and such other related rights and property by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser. Furthermore, it is not intended that such conveyance be a pledge of security for a loan. If such conveyance is determined to be a pledge of security for a loan, however, then: (i) this Agreement shall constitute
Conveyance of Mortgage Loans; Possession of Servicing Files The Seller, simultaneously with the delivery of the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the related Mortgage Loan Package to be purchased on each Closing Date, shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Conveyance Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (the "Assignment and Conveyance Agreement"). The Seller shall cause the Servicing File retained by the Originator pursuant to this Agreement to be appropriately identified in the Seller's computer system and/or books and records, as appropriate, to clearly reflect the sale of the related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser. The Seller shall cause the Originator to release from its custody the contents of any Servicing File retained by it only in accordance with this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, except when such release is required in connection with a repurchase of any such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Subsection 9.03.
Acknowledgment of Transfer of Mortgage Pool Assets The Trustee hereby acknowledges and accepts on behalf of the Trust the transfer and assignment pursuant to Section 2.04 to the Trust of the Mortgage Pool Assets, but without having made the review required to be made within 45 days pursuant to Section 2.07, and declares that as of the Closing Date it (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) holds and shall hold any documents constituting a part of the Mortgage Pool Assets, and the Mortgage Pool Assets, as Trustee in trust, upon the trust herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all present and future Holders of the Certificates.
Conveyance of Mortgage Loans to Trustee (a) The Depositor concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, sells, transfers and assigns to the Trust without recourse all its right, title and interest in and to (i) the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, including all interest and principal due with respect to the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date, but excluding any payments of principal and interest due on or prior to the Cut-off Date; (ii) such assets as shall from time to time be credited or are required by the terms of this Agreement to be credited to the Master Servicer Collection Account, (iii) such assets relating to the Mortgage Loans as from time to time may be held by the Servicers in Protected Accounts, the Master Servicer in the Master Servicer Collection Account and the Trustee in the Distribution Account, (iv) any REO Property, (v) the Required Insurance Policies and any amounts paid or payable by the insurer under any Insurance Policy (to the extent the mortgagee has a claim thereto), (vi) the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to the extent provided in Section 2.03(a), (vii) the rights with respect to the Servicing Agreements as assigned to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders by the Assignment Agreement, (viii) the Class R Deposit and (ix) any proceeds of the foregoing. Although it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that the conveyance of the Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan, in the event that such conveyance is deemed to be a loan, it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Fund, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.
(b) In connection with the above transfer and assignment, the Seller hereby deposits with the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, with respect to each Mortgage Loan:
(i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed without recourse to the order of the Trustee and showing an unbroken chain of endorsements from the originator thereof to the Person endorsing it to the Trustee, or lost note affidavit together with a copy of the related Mortgage Note,

(v) the original or a copy of the policy or certificate of primary mortgage guaranty insurance, to the extent available, if any,
(vi) the original policy of title insurance or mortgagee's certificate of title insurance or commitment or binder for title insurance, and
(vii) originals of all modification agreements, if applicable and available. provided, however, that in lieu of the foregoing, the Depositor may deliver the following documents, under the circumstances set forth below: (w) in lieu of the original Security Instrument, assignments to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof which have been delivered, are being delivered or will, upon receipt of recording information relating to the Security Instrument required to be included thereon, be delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned to the Depositor in time to permit their delivery as specified above, the Depositor may deliver a true copy thereof with a certification by the Depositor, on the face of such copy, substantially as follows: "Certified to be a true and correct copy of the original, which has been transmitted for recording"; (x) in lieu of the Security Instrument, assignment to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof, if the applicable jurisdiction retains the originals of such documents (as evidenced by a certification from the Depositor to such effect) the Depositor may deliver photocopies of such documents containing an original certification by the judicial or other governmental authority of the jurisdiction where such documents were recorded; and (y) the Depositor shall not be required to deliver intervening assignments or Mortgage Note endorsements between the Seller and the Depositor, and between the Depositor and the Trustee; and provided, further, however, that in the case of Mortgage Loans which have been prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents, may deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, a certification to such effect and shall deposit all amounts paid in respect of such Mortgage Loans in the Master Servicer Collection Account on the Closing Date. The Depositor shall deliver such original documents (including any original documents as to which certified copies had previously been delivered) to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, promptly after they are received. The Depositor shall cause the Seller, at its expense, to cause each assignment of the Security Instrument to the Trustee to be recorded not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, unless (a) such recordation is not required by the Rating Agencies or an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee has been provided to the Trustee (with a copy to the Custodian) which states that recordation of such Security Instrument is not required to protect the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loans or (b) MERS is identified on the Mortgage or on a properly recorded assignment of the Mortgage as the mortgagee of record solely as nominee for the Seller and its successor and assigns; provided, however, that each assignment shall be submitted for recording by the Seller in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust or the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, upon the earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the Trust, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Seller and (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 8.02 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Seller fails to pay the cost of recording the assignments, such expense will be paid by the Trustee and the Trustee shall be reimbursed for such expenses by the Trust in accordance with Section 9.05.
