(d) It is herein acknowledged that, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, neither the Trustee nor any Custodian is under any duty or obligation (i) to determine whether any of the documents specified in clauses [(iv) through (viii), (x) through (xii) and (xiv) through (xv)] of the definition of "Mortgage File" exist or are required to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller in respect of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) to inspect, review or examine any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other papers relating to the Mortgage Loans delivered to it to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable, in recordable form or appropriate for the represented purpose, or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.
(e) If, in the process of reviewing the documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Section 2.01(c), the Trustee or any Custodian discovers that any document required to have been delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(c) has not been so delivered, or discovers that any of the documents that were delivered has not been properly executed, contains information that does not conform in any material respect with the corresponding information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, or is defective on its face (each, including, without limitation, that a document is missing, a "Document Defect"), or if, at any other time, the Trustee or any other party hereto discovers a Document Defect in respect of any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such Document Defect shall promptly so notify each of the other parties hereto.

The Trustee also acknowledges receipt of the amounts on deposit in the Net WAC Reserve Fund in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee agrees on or before the Closing Date, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to review, or cause the Custodian to review, each Mortgage File and to certify and deliver, or cause the Custodian to certify and deliver an initial certification, to the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 (the “Initial Certification”). It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, neither the Trustee nor the Custodian was under any duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine whether they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose (including with respect to Section 2.01(a)(vi), whether such title insurance policy insures the priority of the Mortgage as a first lien) or whether they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) to determine whether any Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in Section 2.01(a)(iv). Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement, the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Seller and the Servicer a final certification in substantially the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C-2 (the “Final Certification”) evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.

In addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Custodian or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the Originator or the Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Agreement, respectively, in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the related Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties. Enforcement of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Agreement against the Originator or the Seller, respectively, shall be effected by the Trustee. The Trustee shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the Mortgage Loans or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the Person against which such enforcement is directed; provided, however, if the sources of reimbursement described in clauses (i) and (ii) are insufficient, the Trustee may seek reimbursement for any remaining unreimbursed costs of such enforcement from the Trust Fund as an Extraordinary Trust Fund Expense.
REMIC Election for REMIC I The Tax Matters Person, shall, on behalf of REMIC I, elect to treat REMIC I as a REMIC within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state laws. Such election shall be included in the Form 1066 and any appropriate state return to be filed on behalf of REMIC I for its first taxable year. The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “startup day” of REMIC I within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code. The regular interests (as set forth in the table contained in the Preliminary Statement hereto) relating to REMIC I are hereby designated as “regular interests” in REMIC I for purposes of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code. The Class R-1 Residual Interest is hereby designated as the sole class of “residual interest” in REMIC I for purposes of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code. The REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest shall together be deemed to be a separate series of beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust consisting of the REMIC I Assets pursuant to Section 3806(b)(2) of the Statutory Trust Statute. The parties intend that the affairs of REMIC I shall constitute, and that the affairs of REMIC I shall be conducted so as to qualify REMIC I as a REMIC. In furtherance of such intention, the Tax Matters Person shall, on behalf of REMIC I: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, a federal tax return using a calendar year as the taxable year and using an accrual method of accounting for REMIC I when and as required by the REMIC Provisions and other applicable federal income tax laws; (b) make an election, on behalf of the trust, for REMIC I to be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return of REMIC I for its first taxable year, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions; (c) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest and the Trustee, all information reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions, and make available the information necessary for the application of Section 860E(e) of the Code; (d) conduct the affairs of REMIC I at all times that any REMIC I Regular Interests are outstanding so as to maintain the status of REMIC I as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (e) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of REMIC I; and (f) pay the amount of any federal prohibited transaction penalty taxes imposed on REMIC I when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Company or any other appropriate person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Company from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); provided, that the Company shall be entitled to be indemnified by REMIC I for any such prohibited transaction penalty taxes if the Company’s failure to exercise reasonable care was not the primary cause of the imposition of such prohibited transaction penalty taxes. The Trustee and the Master Servicer shall promptly provide the Company with such information in the possession of the Trustee or the Master Servicer, respectively, as the Company may from time to time request for the purpose of enabling the Company to prepare tax returns. In the event that a Mortgage Loan is discovered to have a defect which, had such defect been discovered before the startup day, would have prevented such Mortgage Loan from being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, and the Company does not repurchase such Mortgage Loan within 90 days of such date, the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, shall within 90 days of the date such defect is discovered sell such Mortgage Loan at such price as the Master Servicer in its sole discretion, determines to be the greatest price that will result in the purchase thereof within 90 days of such date, unless the Master Servicer delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that continuing to hold such Mortgage Loan will not adversely affect the status of the electing portion of REMIC I as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes.
REMIC Elections (a) The Depositor hereby instructs and authorizes the Trustee to make an appropriate election to treat each of the Upper Tier REMIC, the Lower Tier REMIC and the SWAP REMIC as a REMIC. The Trustee shall sign the returns providing for such elections and such other tax or information returns that are required to be signed by the Trustee under applicable law. This Agreement shall be construed so as to carry out the intention of the parties that each of the Upper Tier REMIC, the Lower Tier REMIC and the SWAP REMIC be treated as a REMIC at all times prior to the date on which the Trust Fund is terminated.
(b) The Preliminary Statement sets forth the designations and "latest possible maturity date" for federal income tax purposes of all interests created hereby. The "Startup Day" for purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall be the Closing Date. Each REMIC's fiscal year shall be the calendar year. The SWAP REMIC shall consist of all of the assets of the Trust Fund, other than (i) amounts distributable to the Class P Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(i) hereof, (ii) the interests issued by the SWAP REMIC and the interests issued by the Lower Tier REMIC, (iii) the grantor trusts described in Section 2.07 hereof, (iv) each Cap Contract and the Cap Contract Account and (v) the Swap Agreement and the Supplemental Interest Trust. The SWAP REMIC shall issue the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests, which shall be designated as regular interests of such REMIC, and shall issue the Class SWR Interest, which shall be designated as the sole class of residual interest in the SWAP REMIC. Each of the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests shall have the characteristics set forth in the Preliminary Statement and this Section 2.07. The Lower Tier REMIC shall consist of the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests. The Lower Tier REMIC shall issue the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests, which shall be designated as regular interests of such REMIC and shall issue the Class LTR Interest, which shall be designated as the sole class of residual interest in the Lower Tier REMIC. Each of the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests shall have the characteristics set forth in its definition and the Preliminary Statement. The assets of the Upper Tier REMIC shall be the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests. The REMIC Regular Interests shall be designated as the regular interests in the Upper Tier REMIC and the Residual Interest shall be designated as the sole class of residual interest in the Upper Tier REMIC. For federal income tax purposes, the pass-through rate on each REMIC Regular Interest (other than the Uncertificated Class C Interest and the Class UT-IO Interest) and on the sole class of residual interest in the Upper Tier REMIC shall be subject to a cap equal to the Upper Tier REMIC Net WAC Cap. The beneficial ownership of the Class SWR Interest, Class LTR Interest and the Residual Interest shall be represented by the Class R Certificate. The Class SWR Interest and Class LTR Interest shall not have a principal balance or bear interest.
Conveyance of Trust Fund Pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller sold, transferred, assigned, set over and otherwise conveyed to the Depositor, without recourse, all the right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the assets sold by it in the Trust Fund. EMC has entered into this Agreement in consideration for the purchase of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and has agreed to take the actions specified herein. The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Trustee for the use and benefit of the Certificateholders, without recourse, all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Trust Fund. In connection with such sale, the Depositor has delivered to, and deposited with, or caused to be delivered to and deposited with, the Trustee or the related Custodian, as its agent, the following documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan so assigned: (i) the original Mortgage Note, including any riders thereto, endorsed without recourse (A) in blank or to order of “Citibank, N.A., as Trustee for Certificateholders of SACO I Trust 2006-10, Mortgage-Backed Certificates, Series 2006-10,” or (B) in the case of a loan registered on the MERS system, in blank and showing an unbroken chain of endorsements from the original payee thereof to the Person endorsing it to the Trustee, (ii) the original Mortgage and, if the related Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, noting the presence of the MIN and language indicating that such Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, which shall have been recorded (or, for Mortgage Loans other than the EMC Flow Loans, if the original is not available, a copy), with evidence of such recording indicated thereon (or if clause (x) in the proviso below applies, shall be in recordable form), (iii) unless the Mortgage Loan is either a MOM Loan or has been assigned in the name of MERS®, the assignment (either an original or a copy, which may be in the form of a blanket assignment if permitted in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located) to the Trustee of the Mortgage with respect to each Mortgage Loan in the name of “Citibank, N.A., as Trustee for Certificateholders of SACO I Trust 2006-10, Mortgage-Backed Certificates, Series 2006-10,” which shall have been recorded (or if clause (x) in the proviso below applies, shall be in recordable form), (iv) an original or a copy of all intervening assignments of the Mortgage, if any, with evidence of recording thereon, (v) with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Piggyback Loan), the original policy of title insurance or mortgagee’s certificate of title insurance or commitment or binder for title insurance or, in the event such original title policy has not been received from the title insurer, such title policy will be delivered within one year of the Closing Date or, in the event such original title policy is unavailable, a photocopy of such title policy or, in lieu thereof, a current lien search on the related Mortgaged Property; and with respect to any Piggyback Loan, the original policy of title insurance or mortgagee’s certificate of title insurance or commitment or binder for title insurance issued as to the related first lien Mortgage Loan or, in lieu thereof, a lien search on the related Mortgaged Property that was conducted in connection with the related first lien Mortgage Loan and (vi) originals or copies of all available assumption, modification or substitution agreements, if any; provided, however, that in lieu of the foregoing, the Seller may deliver the following documents, under the circumstances set forth below: (x) in lieu of the original Mortgage (other than the Mortgages related to the EMC Flow Loans), assignment thereof to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof have been delivered or are being delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned in time to permit their delivery as specified above, the Depositor may deliver, or cause to be delivered, a true copy thereof with a certification by such Seller or the title company issuing the commitment for title insurance, 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”; (y) in lieu of the original Mortgage (other than the Mortgages related to the EMC Flow Loans), assignment to the Trustee or in blank 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, or cause to be delivered, photocopies of such documents containing an original certification by the judicial or other governmental authority of the jurisdiction where such documents were recorded; and (z) in lieu of the Mortgage Notes relating to the Mortgage Loans identified in the list set forth in Exhibit I, the Depositor may deliver, or cause to be delivered, a lost note affidavit and indemnity and a copy of the original note, if available; 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, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee and the related Custodian a certification of a Servicing Officer to such effect and in such case shall deposit all amounts paid in respect of such Mortgage Loans, in the Master Servicer Collection Account or in the Distribution Account on the Closing Date. In the case of the documents referred to in clause (x) above, the Depositor shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, such documents to the Trustee or the related Custodian promptly after they are received. EMC shall cause, at its expense, the Mortgage and intervening assignments, if any, and to the extent required in accordance with the foregoing, the assignment of the Mortgage to the Trustee to be submitted for recording promptly after the Closing Date; provided that EMC need not cause to be recorded (a) any assignment in any jurisdiction under the laws of which, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee delivered by EMC to the Trustee, the Custodians and each Rating Agency, the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loan or (b) if 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 related Seller and its successors and assigns. In the event that either Seller, the Depositor or the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator gives written notice to the Trustee that a court has recharacterized the sale of the Mortgage Loans as a financing, EMC shall submit or cause to be submitted for recording as specified above each such previously unrecorded assignment to be submitted for recording as specified above at the expense of the Trust. In the event a Mortgage File is released to the Company or the Servicer as a result of such Person having completed a Request for Release, the related Custodian shall, if not so completed, complete the assignment of the related Mortgage in the manner specified in clause (iii) above. In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS® System, EMC further agrees that it will cause, at EMC’s own expense, within 30 days after the Closing Date, the MERS® System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by EMC to the Depositor and by the Depositor to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files (a) the code in the field which identifies the specific Trustee and (b) the code in the field “Pool Field” which identifies the series of the Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. EMC further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the Company or the Master Servicer to, and the Master Servicer agrees that it will not, alter the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are not delivered to the Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf are and shall be held by or on behalf of the Seller or the Depositor, as the case may be, in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. Any such original document delivered to or held by the Depositor, shall be delivered promptly to the Custodian on the Trustee’s behalf. Whenever it is provided for in this Agreement that any document, evidence or information relating to a Mortgage Loan to be included in a Mortgage File be delivered or supplied to the Trustee, such delivery or supply shall be made to the appropriate Custodian pursuant to the related Custodial Agreement.
REMIC Election (a) The Depositor hereby instructs and authorizes the Trustee to make an appropriate election to treat the Trust Fund as a REMIC. This Agreement shall be construed so as to carry out the intention of the parties that the Trust Fund be treated as a REMIC at all times prior to the date on which the Trust Fund is terminated. The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "startup day" of the REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code. The "regular interests" (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code) in the REMIC shall consist of the Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-R Certificate), the Class M Certificates and the Class B Certificates, and the "residual interest" (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code) in the REMIC shall consist of the Residual Interest, and all such interests shall be designated as such on the Startup Day. Solely for the purposes of Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury regulations, the "latest possible maturity date" by which the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of each Class of Certificates representing a regular interest in the REMIC would be reduced to zero is the Distribution Date immediately following the latest scheduled maturity of any Mortgage Loan.
(b) The "tax matters person" with respect to the Trust Fund for purposes of the REMIC provisions shall be the beneficial owner of the Class A-R Certificate; provided, however, that such Holder of a Class A-R Certificate, by its acceptance thereof, irrevocably appoints the Servicer as its agent and attorney-in-fact to act as "tax matters person" with respect to the Trust Fund for purposes of the REMIC provisions.
(c) It is intended that the Trust Fund shall constitute, and that the affairs of the Trust Fund shall be conducted so as to qualify the Trust Fund as, a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Servicer covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Servicer is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Holder of the Class A-R Certificate and that in such capacity it shall:
(i) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Return (Form 1066) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect to the Trust Fund, using the calendar year as the taxable year and the accrual method of accounting, containing such information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby;
(ii) within thirty days of the Closing Date, shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto (and the Servicer shall act as the representative of the Trust Fund for this purpose), together with such additional information as may be required by such Form, and shall update such information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code;
(iii) make or cause to be made an election, on behalf of the Trust Fund, to be treated as a REMIC, and make the appropriate designations, if applicable, in accordance with this Section 2.04 on the federal tax return of the Trust Fund for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under applicable state law);
(iv) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns or reports, or furnish or cause to be furnished by telephone, mail, publication or other appropriate method such information, as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount;
(v) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the transfer of the Class A-R Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, or a pass-through entity in which a Disqualified Organization is the record holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person liable for such tax);
(vi) ensure that federal, state or local income tax or information returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other person as may be required to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules; and
(vii) maintain such records relating to the Trust Fund, as may be required by the Code and, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information. [END OF ARTICLE II]
Payments and Statements to Certificateholders Remic Administration Section 5.01 Distributions On each Distribution Date, based solely on the information in the Servicer's Certificate, the Trustee shall distribute out of the Certificate Account (to the extent funds are available therein) to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date (other than as provided in Section 10.01 respecting the final distribution) (a) by check mailed to such Certificateholder entitled to receive a distribution on such Distribution Date at the address appearing in the Certificate Register, or (b) upon written request by the Holder of a Regular Certificate or a Class A-PO Certificate, by wire transfer or by such other means of payment as such Certificateholder and the Trustee shall agree upon, such Certificateholder's Percentage Interest in the amount to which the related Class of Certificates is entitled in accordance with the priorities set forth below in Section 5.02; provided, however, that distributions of principal to the Special Retail Certificates shall be made as described in Section 5.09. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the distribution to the Holders of the Class SES Certificates shall be reduced by the amount of the Class SES Compensating Interest for such Distribution Date. None of the Holders of any Class of Certificates, the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee shall in any way be responsible or liable to Holders of any Class of Certificates in respect of amounts properly previously distributed on any such Class. Amounts distributed with respect to any Class of Certificates (other than any Ancillary Income distributed with respect to the Class SES Certificates) shall be applied first to the distribution of interest thereon and then to principal thereon.

Collection and Liquidation of Mortgage Loans Continuously from the Closing Date, until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the Servicer shall proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable and shall take special care in ascertaining and estimating Escrow Payments and all other charges that will become due and payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans and each related Mortgaged Property, to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable. The Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of such Mortgaged Properties as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.01. The Servicer shall use its best efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such a manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Trustee, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Master Servicer after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Servicer through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property. In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan and not postponed pursuant to Section 3.01 is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Servicer shall take such action as (1) the Servicer would take for other institutional investors under similar circumstances with respect to a similar mortgage loan, (2) shall be consistent with the Servicing Standard, (3) the Servicer shall determine prudently to be in the best interest of the Trust Fund, and (4) is consistent with any related LPMI Policy. In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not postponed pursuant to Section 3.01 and remains delinquent for a period of one hundred and five (105) days or any other default continues for a period of one hundred and five (105) days beyond the expiration of any grace or cure period, the Servicer shall commence foreclosure proceedings. The Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer in writing of the commencement of foreclosure proceedings on a monthly basis no later than the fifth Business Day of each month (which notification may be included within the monthly reports submitted to the Master Servicer under this Agreement). In such connection, the Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 3.04. Notwithstanding the generality of the preceding paragraph, the Servicer shall take such actions generally in accordance with the Servicer’s established default timeline and in accordance with the Servicing Standard with respect to each Mortgagor for which there is a delinquency until such time as such Mortgagor is current with all payments due under the Mortgage Loan. With respect to a HOEPA Claim Loan, upon receipt of notice from the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Mortgagor that the Mortgagor has instituted a claim that the related Mortgage Loan was originated in violation of HOEPA, the Servicer shall, unless otherwise directed by such party, suspend all of its loss mitigation activities with respect to such Mortgage Loan until such time as such claim has been resolved. In the event that such party provides direction to the Servicer, the Servicer shall continue to service such HOEPA Claim Loan pursuant to the Servicing Standard, provided that such direction is not inconsistent with the Servicing Standard.
