Qualified Mortgage The Mortgage Loan is a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code;
Qualifying Mortgage Loans In order for a mortgage loan to be a Qualifying Loan it must meet all of the following criteria, which must be confirmed by the lender: • The collateral securing the mortgage loan is owner-occupied and the owner’s primary residence; and • The mortgagor has a first priority lien on the collateral; and • Either the borrower is at least 60 days delinquent or a default is reasonably foreseeable. Modification Process The lender shall undertake a review of its mortgage loan portfolio to identify Qualifying Loans. For each Qualifying Loan, the lender shall determine the net present value of the modified loan and, if it will exceed the net present value of the foreclosed collateral upon disposition, then the Qualifying Loan shall be modified so as to reduce the borrower’s monthly DTI Ratio to no more than 31% at the time of the modification. To achieve this, the lender shall use a combination of interest rate reduction, term extension and principal forbearance, as necessary. The borrower’s monthly DTI Ratio shall be a percentage calculated by dividing the borrower’s monthly income by the borrower’s monthly housing payment (including principal, interest, taxes and insurance). For these purposes, (1) the borrower’s monthly income shall be the amount of the borrower’s (along with any co-borrowers’) documented and verified gross monthly income, and (2) the borrower’s monthly housing payment shall be the amount required to pay monthly principal and interest plus one-twelfth of the then current annual amount required to pay real property taxes and homeowner’s insurance with respect to the collateral. In order to calculate the monthly principal payment, the lender shall capitalize to the outstanding principal balance of the Qualifying Loan the amount of all delinquent interest, delinquent taxes, past due insurance premiums, third party fees and (without duplication) escrow advances (such amount, the “Capitalized Balance”). In order to achieve the goal of reducing the DTI Ratio to 31%, the lender shall take the following steps in the following order of priority with respect to each Qualifying Loan:
Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is hereby acknowledged that certain groups of Mortgage Loans are, in the case of each such particular group of Mortgage Loans (each, a "Cross-Collateralized Group"), by their terms, cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized, if identified as such on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. For purposes of reference, the Mortgaged Property that relates or corresponds to any of the Mortgage Loans referred to in this Section 17 shall be the property identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule as corresponding thereto. The provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C hereto and each of the capitalized terms used herein but defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with this Section 17. In addition, if there exists with respect to any Cross-Collateralized Group only one original of any document referred to in the definition of "Mortgage File" in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and covering all the Mortgage Loans in such Cross-Collateralized Group, the inclusion of the original of such document in the Mortgage File for any of the Mortgage Loans constituting such Cross-Collateralized Group shall be deemed an inclusion of such original in the Mortgage File for each such Mortgage Loan.
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans (a) The Master Servicer shall send a written notice to the Special Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period), the Trust Advisor (other than during any Subordinate Control Period), the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website), the Certificate Administrator (who shall promptly post such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website), the Trustee, the Custodian, the related Seller and solely as it relates to any A/B Whole Loan, to the holder of the related B Note and solely as it relates to any Loan Pair, to the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan, within five (5) Business Days after becoming aware of a Servicing Transfer Event with respect to a Mortgage Loan, which notice shall identify the related Mortgage Loan and set forth in reasonable detail the nature and relevant facts of such Servicing Transfer Event and whether such Mortgage Loan is covered by an Environmental Insurance Policy (and for purposes of stating whether such Mortgage Loan is covered by an Environmental Insurance Policy the Master Servicer may rely on Schedule IX attached hereto) and, in the case of the Special Servicer, shall be accompanied by a copy of the Servicer Mortgage File. (b) Prior to or concurrently with the transfer of the servicing of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer shall notify the related Mortgagor of such transfer in accordance with the Servicing Standard (and shall send a copy of such notice to the Special Servicer). (c) Any calculations or reports prepared by the Master Servicer to the extent they relate to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans shall be based on information supplied to the Master Servicer in writing by the Special Servicer as provided hereby. The Master Servicer shall have no duty to investigate or confirm the accuracy of any information provided to it by the Special Servicer and shall have no liability for the inaccuracy of any of its reports due to the inaccuracy of the information provided by the Special Servicer. (d) Subject to Section 5.4(e), on or prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Special Servicer, in order for the Special Servicer to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, such information (and in the form and medium) as the Special Servicer may reasonably request in writing from time to time.
Mortgagor Selection No Mortgagor was encouraged or required to select a Mortgage Loan product offered by the Originator which is a higher cost product designed for less creditworthy mortgagors, unless at the time of the Mortgage Loan's origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account credit history and debt-to-income ratios for a lower-cost credit product then offered by the Originator or any Affiliate of the Originator. If, at the time of loan application, the Mortgagor may have qualified for a lower-cost credit product then offered by any mortgage lending Affiliate of the Originator, the Originator referred the related Mortgagor's application to such Affiliate for underwriting consideration;
