To the extent that any costs and damages are incurred by the Trust Fund as a result of any violation of any applicable federal, state, or local predatory or abusive lending law arising from or in connection with the origination of any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the related Originator or the Seller, such costs and damages shall be included in the Purchase Price of such repurchased Mortgage Loan and shall be borne by the Seller. The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the related Distribution Account, and the Trustee, or its designee, upon receipt of written certification from the Securities Administrator of such deposit, shall release or cause the Custodian to release to the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the related Trustee Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranties, as either party shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in such party any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the Trustee, or its designee, shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Trustee Mortgage File (it being understood that the Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining the sufficiency of such assignment for its intended purpose). If pursuant to the foregoing provisions the related Originator or the Seller repurchases a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the related Servicer shall cause MERS to designate on the MERS® System the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan. In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, either party may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust Fund (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.05(b) below. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Originators and the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any related Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the such party respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. (b) Any substitution of Replacement Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.05(a) above must be effected prior to the last Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date. As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the related Originator or the Seller substitutes a Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by delivering to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, for such Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that each such Replacement Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. Scheduled Payments due with respect to Replacement Mortgage Loans in the Due Period related to the Distribution Date in the month of substitution shall not be included as part of the Trust Fund and shall be retained by the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable. For the month of substitution, distributions to the Certificateholders shall reflect the Scheduled Payments in respect of such Deleted Mortgage for the related Due Period preceding the month of substitution and the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. Upon such substitution, such Replacement Mortgage Loan shall constitute part of the Trust Fund and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, as modified by the related Acknowledgement or Purchase Agreement, as applicable, including all representations and warranties thereof included in such Purchase and Servicing Agreement or Purchase Agreement, as applicable, as modified by the Acknowledgement, in each case as of the date of substitution. For any month in which an Originator or the Seller substitutes one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the related Servicer shall determine the excess (each, a “Substitution Amount”), if any, by which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Replacement Mortgage Loans. On the date of such substitution, the related Originator or Seller, as applicable, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the related Servicer for deposit in the related Custodial Account an amount equal to the related Substitution Amount, if any, plus one month’s interest, at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate, on such Substitution Amount, and the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification by such Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the related Trustee Mortgage File or Files and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the related Originator or Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. In addition, the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution (either specifically or as a class of transactions) shall not cause an Adverse REMIC Event. If such Opinion of Counsel can not be delivered, then such substitution may only be effected at such time as the required Opinion of Counsel can be given. (c) Upon discovery by the related Originator, the Seller, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the applicable party shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.05(b), substitute one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.05(a) above. The Trustee shall re-convey to the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.

On the date of such substitution, the related Originator or Seller, as applicable, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the related Servicer for deposit in the related Custodial Account an amount equal to the related Substitution Amount, if any, plus one month’s interest, at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate, on such Substitution Amount, and the related Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification by such Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the related Trustee Mortgage File or Files and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty as the related Originator or Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
