Mortgage Loan Transfer (a) The Purchaser will be entitled to all scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date (regardless of when actually collected) and all payments thereof. Each Mortgage Loan Seller will be entitled to all scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans sold by it to the Purchaser due on or before the Cut-off Date (including payments collected after the Cut-off Date) and all payments thereof. Such principal amounts and any interest thereon belonging to the related Mortgage Loan Seller as described above will not be included in the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date as set forth on the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule.
(b) Pursuant to various conveyancing documents to be executed on the Closing Date and pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Purchaser will assign on the Closing Date all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. In connection with the transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loans, each Mortgage Loan Seller has delivered or will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, by the Closing Date or such later date as is agreed to by the Purchaser and such Mortgage Loan Seller (each of the Closing Date and such later date is referred to as a “Mortgage File Delivery Date”), the items of the Custodian’s Mortgage File, provided, however, that in lieu of the foregoing, each Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver the following documents, under the circumstances set forth below: (x) in lieu of the original Mortgage, 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 Mortgage required to be included thereon, be delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned in time to permit their delivery as specified above, the related Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver a true copy thereof with a certification by such Mortgage Loan Seller or the Master Servicer, 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 Mortgage, assignments to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof, if the applicable jurisdiction retains the originals of such documents or if the originals are lost (in each case, as evidenced by a certification from such Mortgage Loan Seller or the Master Servicer to such effect), such Mortgage Loan Seller 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 (z) in lieu of the Mortgage Notes relating to the Mortgage Loans, each identified in the list delivered by the Purchaser to the Trustee on the Closing Date and attached hereto as Exhibit 5 the related Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver lost note affidavits and indemnities of such Mortgage Loan Seller; 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, such Mortgage Loan Seller, in lieu of delivering the above documents, may deliver to the Trustee a certification by such Mortgage Loan Seller or the Master Servicer to such effect. Each Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver such original documents (including any original documents as to which certified copies had previously been delivered) or such certified copies to the Trustee, or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, promptly after they are received. EMC (on its own behalf as Mortgage Loan Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) shall cause the Mortgage and intervening assignments, if any, and the assignment of the Mortgage to be recorded not later than 180 days after the Closing Date unless such assignment is not required to be recorded under the terms set forth in Section 6(a) hereof.
(c) In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS® System, EMC (on its own behalf as Mortgage Loan Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) 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 the related Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser and by the Purchaser 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 (on its own behalf as Mortgage Loan Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) further agrees that it will not, and will not permit 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(d) Each Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge hereunder that all of the Mortgage Loans will ultimately be assigned to LaSalle Bank National Association, as Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, on the date hereof.
Mortgage Loans As of the Closing Date, in consideration of the Issuer's delivery of the Notes and the Ownership Certificate to the Depositor or its designee, and concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor does hereby transfer, assign, set over, deposit with and otherwise convey to the Issuer, without recourse, subject to Section 3.01, in trust, all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Mortgage Loans. Such conveyance includes, without limitation, the right to all payments of principal and interest received on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans on and after the Cut-off Date (other than payments of principal and interest due on or before such date), and all such payments due after such date but received prior to such date and intended by the related Mortgagors to be applied after such date together with all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in any REO Property and the proceeds thereof, the Depositor's rights under any Insurance Policies related to the Mortgage Loans, the Depositor's security interest in any collateral pledged to secure the Mortgage Loans, including the Mortgaged Properties and any proceeds of the foregoing, to have and to hold, in trust; and the Indenture Trustee declares that, subject to the review provided for in Section 2.02, it has received and shall hold the Trust Estate, as Indenture Trustee, in trust, for the benefit and use of the Noteholders and for the purposes and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and, concurrently with such receipt, the Issuer has issued and delivered the Notes and the Ownership Certificate to or upon the order of the Depositor, in exchange for the Mortgage Loans and the other property of the Trust Estate. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor does hereby assign to the Issuer all of its rights and interest under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement but without delegation of any of its obligations thereunder. The Issuer hereby accepts such assignment, and shall be entitled to exercise all the rights of the Depositor under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement as if, for such purpose, it were the Depositor. Upon the issuance of the Notes, ownership in the Trust Estate shall be vested in the Issuer, subject to the lien created by the Indenture in favor of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders. The foregoing sale, transfer, assignment, set-over, deposit and conveyance does not and is not intended to result in creation or assumption by the Indenture Trustee of any obligation of the Depositor, the Seller, or any other Person in connection with the Mortgage Loans or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto except as specifically set forth herein. The Depositor further agrees to cause ________________________ to assign all of its right, title and interest in and to the interest rate corridor transaction evidenced by each Confirmation to the Issuer, and all such right, title and interest shall be deemed to have been assigned by ________________________ to the Depositor and by the Depositor to the Issuer.
Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan As of the date of origination and to Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor or Mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Mortgagor’s title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Mortgagor’s ability to perform under the related Mortgage Loan, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage Loan documents or (f) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.
Actions Concerning Mortgage Loans To the knowledge of the Seller, there are no actions, suits or proceedings before any court, administrative agency or arbitrator concerning any Mortgage Loan, Mortgagor or related Mortgaged Property that might adversely affect title to the Mortgaged Property or the validity or enforceability of the related Mortgage or that might materially and adversely affect the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were intended.
Purchase and Sale of the Mortgage Loans and Related Rights Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 10 hereof, the Mortgage Loan Seller agrees to sell, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase Mortgage Loans having an aggregate outstanding principal balance as of the Cut-off Date equal to the Cut-off Date Balance.
Mortgage Loan Schedules The Mortgage Loan Seller agrees to provide to the Purchaser as of the date hereof a preliminary listing of the Mortgage Loans (the “Preliminary Mortgage Loan Schedule”) setting forth the information listed on Exhibit 2 to this Agreement with respect to each of the Mortgage Loans being sold by the Mortgage Loan Seller. If there are changes to the Preliminary Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Purchaser as of the Closing Date a final schedule (the “Final Mortgage Loan Schedule”) setting forth the information listed on Exhibit 2 to this Agreement with respect to each of the Mortgage Loans being sold by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser. The Final Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be delivered to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, shall be attached to an amendment to this Agreement to be executed on the Closing Date by the parties hereto and shall be in form and substance mutually agreed to by the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser (the “Amendment”).

Mortgage Loan Characteristics The characteristics of the related Mortgage Loan Package are as set forth on the description of the pool characteristics for the applicable Mortgage Loan Package delivered pursuant to Section 11 on the related Closing Date in the form attached as Exhibit B to each related Assignment and Conveyance Agreement;
Advance of Funds by the Mortgage Loan Seller Except for loan proceeds advanced at the time of loan origination or other payments contemplated by the Mortgage Loan documents, no advance of funds has been made by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the related Mortgagor, and no funds have been received from any person other than the related Mortgagor or an affiliate, directly, or, to the knowledge of the Mortgage Loan Seller, indirectly for, or on account of, payments due on the Mortgage Loan. Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the date hereof.
Repurchase of Mortgage Loans with First Payment Defaults With respect to any Mortgage Loan, in the event that the first scheduled payment of principal and interest due either (i) after origination of such Mortgage Loan, or (ii) after the related Closing Date is not paid within sixty (60) days of the related Due Date, the Seller, at the Purchaser's option, shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser at the Repurchase Price. The Seller shall repurchase such delinquent Mortgage Loan within thirty (30) days of such request unless the Seller can provide evidence reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser in its good faith discretion that such delinquency was due to a servicing error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, elect to submit for the Seller's consideration a revised Purchase Price Percentage (as defined in the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement) (in each case, a "Revised Pricing Offer") with respect to any such Mortgage Loan. Thereafter, the Seller shall accept or reject such Revised Pricing Offer. In the event the Seller rejects a Revised Pricing Offer, the applicable Mortgage Loan shall be repurchased pursuant to the previous paragraph. In the event the Seller accepts a Revised Pricing Offer with respect to any such Mortgage Loan (such loan, a "Repriced Mortgage Loan") the Seller shall refund to the Purchaser an amount equal to (i) the product of (x) the difference between the original related Purchase Price Percentage and (y) the applicable Revised Pricing Offer, and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of such Repriced Mortgage Loan as of the related Cut-off Date (such product, in each case, the "Repricing Adjustment"), plus accrued interest on such Repricing Adjustment calculated at the federal funds rate as of the related Closing Date. Such amount shall be paid by the Seller to the Purchaser within thirty (30) days thereof.
